Figure ID
sh314
Theme
Super Heroes
Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the first wave of sets for the theatrical film.
Rarity
Uncommon - Exclusive to one mid-range set, though widely available during the film's retail run.
Head
Light flesh head with a smirk and white headband (to misalign with cowl eyes). It features a dark brown Bat-cowl with pointed ears, which is unique in this color to this figure.
Torso
Red torso with printing of a white and black Bat-logo, utility belt with a circular buckle, and muscular detailing; red arms and black hands.
Legs
Red legs with black and silver utility pocket printing on the hips and toes, matching the 'merchandise' aesthetic of the film.
Accessories
Standard black Batarang. In the set, she also comes with a yellow cape and a black grappling gun.
Color Scheme
Primary Red with Dark Brown headgear and Black/White/Silver accents. This is a deliberate 'off-brand' color palette for the character.
Printing Details
High quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and legs (front). The design mimics cheap fan merchandise within the movie's universe.
Variants
This is the only 'Bat-Merch' version of Barbara Gordon. Standard Batgirl variants (sh304, sh317) feature traditional purple or blue suits.
Condition Notes
The dark brown cowl is prone to visible scratches. Check for 'neck cracks' on the red torso and silver paint wear on the utility belt printing.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New/Mint: $10 - $15 USD. Value has remained stable since the theme's retirement.
Price (New)
Included in set 70902 (Catwoman Catcycle Chase) which retailed for $19.99 USD.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) in a suit she put together using Batman merchandise found in the Batcave during the events of The LEGO Batman Movie.
Design Notes
Uses the newer Bat-cowl mold with the open chin. The dark brown color is the standout feature, intended to look like a generic brown bat.
Similar Minifigures
sh304 Batgirl (Purple Suit), sh317 Batgirl (Tuxedo), and various Batman 'merch' suits from the CMF series.
Collectibility
Moderate. Desirable for completionists of The LEGO Batman Movie lineup and fans of the film's unique humor.
History
Represents a specific comedic beat in the 2017 film where characters use 'scrapped' or 'fan' gear before getting official suits.
Interesting Facts
Despite being 'merch', the printing on the legs is actually more detailed than some of the standard Batman figures from the same wave.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside Catwoman from the same set or other 'wacky' batsuits from the Collectible Minifigure Series 1.
Modification Potential
The dark brown cowl is a favorite for MOC-builders creating generic brown bat characters or forest-themed superheroes.
Overall Assessment
A charming and unique variant that captures the meta-humor of the LEGO movie franchise. High quality but low financial barrier to entry.
