Year Released
2017: Released specifically in the 'Hulk vs. Red Hulk' set, representing a period when LEGO was expanding Marvel rosters with comic-book accurate variants.
Rarity
Rare: Exclusive to a single, high-priced retail set which is now retired. While not ultra-rare, its exclusivity makes it a high-demand item for Marvel collectors.
Head
Missing in image. The official figure includes a Red Hulk head piece with bushy black eyebrows, an angry expression, and short black molded hair/stubble texture.
Torso
Red torso with highly detailed muscular pectoral and abdominal definition printed in dark red/black. Dark red arms with red hands. The printing successfully mimics a 'ripped' physique.
Legs
Red legs with black hip piece. Features 'shredded' black pants printing at the waist/thighs and black toe/claw printing on the feet to simulate his beastly nature.
Accessories
None included in the image. The original set features a large Red Hulk vehicle and no specific handheld tools for the minifigure itself.
Color Scheme
A monochromatic red and dark red palette accented by black for the shredded pants and muscle definition.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with detailed muscle fibers on the torso and jagged, frayed edges on the pants to represent the transformation process.
Variants
This is the standard minifigure scale version. A 'Big-Fig' version (sh071) also exists, which is significantly larger and common in earlier Hulk sets.
Condition Notes
The figure in the image is missing its head and one hand is detached/loose. Typical wear points include torso cracks and heel spurs from being placed on studs.
Estimated Value
Used (Complete): $25-$35 USD. Used (Incomplete/Missing Head as shown): $10-$15 USD. The head is the most expensive individual component to replace.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 76078 'Hulk vs. Red Hulk' which retailed for $59.99 USD in 2017.
Compatible Sets
76078 (Hulk vs. Red Hulk). This was the only official set to contain this specific minifigure-scale version.
Character Background
General Thaddeus 'Thunderbolt' Ross, a long-time antagonist of the Hulk, who transformed into the Red Hulk to combat his nemesis with tactical intelligence and heat-based powers.
Design Notes
One of the few instances where a traditionally 'Big-Fig' character was converted to a standard minifigure scale to fit in a specific sized vehicle for play functionality.
Similar Minifigures
Hulk (sh374), Gray Hulk (Big-Fig), She-Hulk (sh375), and Red She-Hulk.
Collectibility
High demand. Collectors of the Marvel 'hall of heroes' value this figure because it is the only minifigure-scale Red Hulk produced by LEGO.
History
Launched in the 2017 wave of Marvel Super Heroes, marking a shift toward more comic-inspired designs rather than purely MCU film-inspired figures.
Interesting Facts
Unlike the green Hulk, Red Hulk retains his human intelligence and can emit massive amounts of heat, which this figure captures through its intense color choice.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the green Hulk minifigure (sh374) to recreate the 'Hulk vs. Red Hulk' box art battle scene.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are popular for custom 'Satan/Devil' minifigures or various custom red-skinned aliens/demons due to the detailed musculature.
Overall Assessment
The figure shown is in poor condition (missing head, detached limb). A complete version is a standout Marvel piece and a mid-tier collector's item with strong long-term value.
