Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to a mid-range set in the 2017 Vol. 2 wave and is no longer in production.
Head
Lime green head with dual-sided printing: one side determined/smirking, the other side showing an angry/battle expression with black eyelashes and pinkish makeup around the eyes. Features long black hair with pink/magenta highlights (molded hair piece).
Torso
Black and dark red suit printing. Design features silver/grey armor plate detailing, a utility belt, and reddish-brown jacket lapels. The arms are lime green at the shoulders and hands, with dark red printing representing long sleeves.
Legs
Black legs with intricate dark red and silver printing on the front of the hips and legs, continuing the tactical suit/belt design from the torso.
Accessories
Includes 'Godslayer' sword, traditionally represented in this set by a silver/titanium metallic longsword piece. (In the provided image, it appears she is holding a different katan-style sword or a similar hilt-focused weapon).
Color Scheme
Primary Lime Green (skin), Black and Dark Red (suit), with Silver and Magenta accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, and front of the legs. The 'Godslayer' hilt detail and metallic armor sheen are well-aligned with the molded details.
Variants
This is the 'Vol. 2' version. Other versions include sh122 (Comic/Vol. 1 style), sh506 (Infinity War), and the updated sh750 (Benatar version). There is also a version in the Marvel CMF Series 1.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the lime green hands which can show 'bite' marks from the sword accessory, and the torso print which can rub off with excessive play. Check for cracks in the lime green arm joints.
Estimated Value
Current market value is approximately $10.00 - $15.00 USD for a used complete figure. New/Mint condition can reach $20.00+.

Character Background
Gamora Zen Whoberi Ben Titan is a former assassin and member of the Guardians of the Galaxy. Adopted daughter of Thanos, she seeks redemption for her past crimes. This appearance is based on her look in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
Design Notes
LEGO used a specific magenta-tip hair mold to capture her MCU look. The lime green skin tone remains consistent across all movie-accurate Gamora figures.
Similar Minifigures
Star-Lord (sh383), Drax (sh387), Rocket Raccoon (sh384), and Nebula (sh385) from the same wave.
Collectibility
Moderate. While not the most expensive figure, she is essential for completing the Vol. 2 lineup and the Dark Red suit is arguably the most detailed of her early MCU releases.
History
Launched in April 2017 as part of the tie-in sets for the second Guardians movie. It marked an improvement in torso/leg printing detail over the 2014 original.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece used here is a recolor of the one first introduced for Sabine Wren in LEGO Star Wars Rebels sets.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 76081 Milano or in a 'Guardians' lineup stand with Star-Lord and Drax. Use a clear 1x2 brick to pose her mid-air for battle poses.
Modification Potential
Excellent piece for custom 'What If...?' figures or swapping the hair for different Nebula/Gamora iterations. The tactical legs are useful for generic sci-fi customs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate representation of the character. The leg printing and dual-molded hair are the standout features. Recommended for Marvel MCU completionists.
