Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! (LEGO limited release)
Year Released
2005 - Specifically released as a Prototype / Gift / Discovery Figure
Rarity
Ultra-Rare. This is a prototype or non-production figure from a canceled or extremely limited line. It is one of the most mysterious and sought-after figures for rarity collectors due to its unclear distribution channels.
Head
Unique silver/grey monkey mold with elaborate mechanical printing. Features green dot eyes, a printed metallic mask/faceplate, and intricate circular patterns on the forehead and sides.
Torso
Light bluish grey with highly detailed cybernetic printing. Features a central white/silver mechanical chest plate surrounded by gold-tinted tubing and dark grey mechanical internal details. Plain light bluish grey arms and hands.
Legs
Dark bluish grey, unprinted. Standard minifigure leg assembly.
Accessories
None included in the image. In lore, the character often uses 'Ghost Claws,' though no specific LEGO accessory was mass-produced for this specific figure variant.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are shades of grey (Light Bluish Grey and Dark Bluish Grey) with metallic silver and gold printing accents. Green represents the character's power color in the eyes.
Printing Details
Exceptional pad printing detail on the head and torso. The printing features multiple layers including metallic inks which provide a shimmer effect. The print alignment on the head is complex due to the unique mold shape.
Variants
Variants exist in other colors (Gibson - Blue, Sparx - Red, etc.), but Antauri is the Silver/Black leader variant. There are known differences in back printing on some gathered samples.
Condition Notes
Prone to silver paint rubbing on the high points of the head mold. The metallic printing on the torso can scratch if stored in bulk. Check for torso cracks on the sides where the arms connect.
Estimated Value
Highly variable due to extreme rarity; often moves for $150–$300 USD on the secondary market depending on collector demand and verification of authenticity.
Price (New)
N/A - Primarily distributed as a promotional item or through limited regional outlets; never widely available in standard retail sets.
Compatible Sets
No official standard retail sets exist for this character. It is often categorized under 'Promotional' or 'Direct-to-Consumer/Special' lists.
Character Background
Antauri is the black (later silver) monkey and second-in-command of the Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! His Character is voiced by Mark Hamill and he serves as the spiritual mentor to the protagonist, Chiro.
Design Notes
The head is a completely unique mold not used in any other LEGO theme. This signifies a high investment by LEGO that was ultimately curtailed, making the figure a 'what-if' piece of LEGO history.
Similar Minifigures
Other members of the Monkey Team (Gibson, Sparx, Otto, Nova) which share the same specialized head mold but in different colors and torso prints.
Collectibility
Extremely high. It is a 'holy grail' for completionists of rare 2000s-era promotional figures and fans of the Jetix-era animation.
History
Produced during a time when LEGO was experimenting with various licensed properties and action-oriented themes. The SRMTHFG! line was ultimately scrapped for wide release, leaving only these rare samples.
Interesting Facts
The series it is based on was created by Ciro Nieli. Despite the lack of sets, the character has a dedicated cult following. The voice actor, Mark Hamill, is also famous for playing Luke Skywalker and the Joker in LEGO form.
Display Suggestions
Should be kept in a UV-protected acrylic case. It looks best alongside other 'canceled' or 'prototype' figures or set against a futuristic/cyberpunk MOC backdrop.
Modification Potential
Low. Because of its value and rarity, modifying this figure is generally discouraged as it significantly decreases collector value.
Overall Assessment
A 10/10 for rarity and historical intrigue. While it lacks leg printing, the unique head mold and the story behind its limited existence make it a standout piece in any high-end collection.
