Year Released
2021 (Coincided with the release of the set 76200: Bro Thor's New Asgard and general Infinity Saga retro-wave)
Rarity
Uncommon. While only appearing in one retail set, the set was relatively affordable. As a major antagonist from Thor: Ragnarok, demand often outstrips supply.
Head
Red head piece with yellow eyes, featuring black and dark-red aesthetic shadows. It is capped by a unique black crown/helmet piece designed specifically for Surtur's iconic silhouette.
Torso
Red torso with black muscle definition printing and darkened texture. It is overlaid with a specialized black shoulder armor piece (Pauldrons) that creates a 'buff' demonic silhouette.
Legs
Red legs with black loincloth/skirt printing at the hips and black claw/toe printing at the bottom. Features muscle and fur-fringe detailing on the front.
Accessories
Large black crown/helmet piece and black shoulder armor. In the original set, he also comes with a translucent-orange 'fire sword' or flaming element.
Color Scheme
Dominant Red and Black with small accents of Yellow (eyes) and Trans-Orange (flames).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back), head (front), and legs (front). The alignment is generally tight, representing the modern 'Infinity Saga' standard of detail.
Variants
There is a massive buildable figure of Surtur in the 2024 set 76289, but this sh777 version is the only standard minifigure-scale version released to date.
Condition Notes
The shoulder armor can cause slight scuffing to the torso print over time if removed frequently. Check crown points for stress marks or bending.
Estimated Value
Used: $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New/Mint: $15.00+ USD. Individual parts like the helmet are highly sought after for customs.
Price (New)
Included in set 76200 'Bro Thor's New Asgard', which retailed for $29.99 USD.

Character Background
Surtur is the Fire Giant ruler of Muspelheim, destined to bring about Ragnarok and destroy Asgard. He appears as the main catalyst in the film 'Thor: Ragnarok'.
Design Notes
This figure is notable for the unique crown mold. It represents the character's smaller 'weakened' state seen at the beginning of the film rather than his Godzilla-sized final form.
Similar Minifigures
Fire Demon (Nexo Knights), Ares (DC Super Heroes), and various versions of Hellboy (customs) often share parts with this figure.
Collectibility
High. He is a primary Marvel Cinematic Universe villain and is likely to remain the only 'minifigure-scale' version produced for many years.
History
Until 2021, fans had to rely on customs for Surtur. His release marked a period where LEGO began filling gaps in the MCU character roster via the 'Infinity Saga' sub-theme.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a world-ending threat, this minifigure debuted in a set that was essentially a humorous slice-of-life scene of Thor playing video games.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to 'Fat Thor' (Bro Thor) or Korg. Looks fantastic when placed on a translucent orange/lava-themed baseplate.
Modification Potential
Excellent for fantasy MOCs. The head and crown are popular for building custom demons, fire giants, or dark knights.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure from the 2021 wave. The unique molds and striking red/black contrast make him a 9/10 for MCU collectors and a 'must-buy' before the set retires further.
