Head
Light Nougat (pale) head with a stern expression and light blue/greyish goggles printed on. Over the head is a Flat Silver mechanical helmet/headgear piece featuring a unique robotic mold.
Torso
Black torso with Dark Blue and Flat Silver mechanical suit printing. Features a central circular chest power core (reflective of his cryo-suit). Back printing includes continuation of the suit's life-support armor.
Legs
Black legs with Flat Silver and Dark Blue printing detailing the lower mechanical armor plating and kneecaps. Minimal side printing.
Accessories
In the image, it is shown without its primary gear. When complete, it includes a large brick-built freeze gun and a transparent light blue 'cryo-chamber' backpack assembly using clear cylinders.
Color Scheme
Primary Black and Flat Silver with Dark Blue accents and distinct Lavender/Light Purple hands representing surgical-style gloves.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of 2017 standards. Detail extends to the toes of the legs and features subtle metallic silver highlights on the torso to simulate armor.
Variants
This specific version (sh319) is unique to the Batman Movie line. Earlier versions like sh049 (2012) and sh005 (classic) have significantly different skin tones and armor designs.
Condition Notes
The helmet piece can show 'bite marks' or scratches easily due to the flat silver plastic. The lavender hands are prone to cracking at the wrists if rotated frequently. Check for fading on the blue chest print.
Estimated Value
Used (Figure Only): $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New/Sealed in set: $15.00 - $25.00 (set price). Individual value remains low due to high production volume.
Price (New)

Character Background
Victor Fries, a cryogenics expert who must stay in sub-zero temperatures to survive. This version is a stylized 'over-the-top' redesign for the comedic LEGO Batman Movie.
Design Notes
Features 'Lavender' hands which was a deliberate design choice for this movie's aesthetic. The helmet mold is specific to the 'mechanical' look of this variant compared to the clear-domed comic versions.
Similar Minifigures
sh049 (Classic Mr. Freeze), sh562 (Junior version), and the various Batman figures from the 2017 movie series.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a staple character for DC collectors, but because it was very easy to obtain, it is not considered a high-value investment piece.
History
Mr. Freeze has been a part of LEGO Batman since the original 2006 line. This 2017 version represents the first time the character abandoned the 'clear dome' piece for a solid mechanical helmet mold.
Interesting Facts
Despite his cold nature, the lavender hands are often mistaken by fans as a printing error, but they are intentional to match the movie's color palette for the character's gloves.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other 'The LEGO Batman Movie' villains like The Joker (sh305) or Penguin (sh314). Using transparent blue bricks for 'ice' effects enhances the display.
Modification Potential
The headgear is popular for MOC (My Own Creation) robotic soldiers and sci-fi characters. The torso/legs are excellent for building custom space-pirate or cyberpunk minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed minifigure that accurately captures the movie's quirky aesthetic. It is a high-quality build but very common, making it an easy and affordable addition for any Batman fan.
