Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2018. Released alongside Avengers: Infinity War, capitalizing on the massive hype of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's culminating crossover event.
Rarity
Uncommon. Limited to select medium-to-large sets from the Infinity War wave, but not exceptionally rare since the sets were mass-produced.
Head
Black head piece featuring detailed gold and red printing depicting the fearsome, multi-eyed alien facial features of Thanos's Outrider foot soldiers.
Torso
Black torso with intricate gold printing representing the chitinous, armored alien exoskeleton and musculature of an Outrider. Includes a specialized back attachment bracket holding extra arms.
Legs
Plain black standard LEGO legs without printing, maintaining the dark, menacing aesthetic of the alien grunts.
Accessories
Features a specialized black neck bracket holding four articulated or extended pearl gold claw/hand attachments, giving the Outrider its signature six-limbed appearance from the film.
Color Scheme
Primarily black with striking pearl gold and red accent printing, creating an alien and menacing look.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on both the head and torso front, featuring sharp metallic gold inks and precise alignment that captures the alien's organic armor texture.
Variants
There are a few variations of the Outrider minifigure in the Infinity War wave: one with standard arms and no extra appendages, and this version with the specialized four-arm backpack assembly.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include potential scratching on the plain black legs and minor wear on the gold printed chest armor. The neck bracket and clip attachments are durable but can suffer from clutch degradation over time.
Estimated Value
Used complete market value is approximately $3 to $6 USD depending on condition. New or sealed value does not apply individually as it is a set-exclusive figure.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $20 to $80 USD in 2018, where multiple Outriders served as army-building troop figures.
Compatible Sets
76101 Outrider Dropship Attack (2018), 76104 The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (2018), and 76107 Thanos: Ultimate Battle (2018).
Character Background
Outriders are genetically engineered, multi-limbed shock troops created by Thanos to serve as foot soldiers in his massive invasion forces, notably seen swarming the battlefields of Wakanda in Avengers: Infinity War.
Design Notes
LEGO cleverly utilized a standard neck bracket holding clips and bar-connected claw elements to recreate the Outrider's biologically diverse extra limbs, providing an impressive multi-armed look without needing a completely new molded torso.
Similar Minifigures
Other Outrider variants (sh516), Chitauri foot soldiers, and general MCU alien army builders like the Sakaaran soldiers.
Collectibility
Moderate collectibility. Highly desirable for Marvel army builders who want to recreate the Battle of Wakanda, but widely enough available that prices remain very accessible.
History
Introduced in 2018 for the Infinity War wave of sets, providing fans with the long-awaited alien infantry units to oppose the Avengers.
Interesting Facts
The Outriders in the movie were digitally created using motion capture and complex swarm algorithms, which LEGO cleverly translated into physical brick form using existing clip and bar elements.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a battle diorama scene facing off against the Avengers, ideally grouped together in a swarm formation on a dark rocky or grassy baseplate.
Modification Potential
Great for custom MOC alien swarms, sci-fi dioramas, and combining parts with other insectoid or monster-themed LEGO pieces.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly detailed army-builder figure that successfully translates a complex CGI movie monster into LEGO form with creative parts usage.
