Figure ID
85863pb058
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2015. Included in set 76032 The Avengers Quinjet City Chase.
Rarity
Uncommon. While small and often misplaced, it was exclusive to a single high-priced set within the Marvel theme.
Head
The 'helmet' depicted is actually the head and torso area of a shaped 'statue' or 'microfigure' scale part. It features a molded ant-antennae design integrated into the helmet shape.
Torso
Integrated into the single piece; it features silver/black pad printing on the front to represent Scott Lang's Ant-Man chest plate detail.
Legs
Standard microfigure base (non-articulated flat base) representing the character in a shrunken state.
Accessories
None included with the microfigure itself, though it is intended to be used alongside standard minifigures for scale play.
Color Scheme
Trans-Orange throughout, with silver and black printed accents on the front face.
Printing Details
Precision silver and black printing on the front of the trans-orange mold. Minimalist but accurate to the 2015 cinematic design.
Variants
There are several Ant-Man microfigures; this Trans-Orange version differs from the white version (sh166) and the later red/black version (85863pb094).
Condition Notes
Prone to lost printing if handled roughly. Microfigures are easily lost due to their small size (approximately 1.5 cm tall). Check for scratches on the transparent plastic.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $7.00 USD. New: Hard to quantify as it was only in a large set, but mint loose examples fetch $10.00 USD.
Price (New)
Included in set 76032, which originally retailed for $79.99 USD.

Character Background
Represents Scott Lang as Ant-Man using the Pym Particles to shrink to microscopic size during the events of Avengers: Age of Ultron / Ant-Man movie era.
Design Notes
Uses the 85863 'Trophy/Statue' mold, which was revolutionary for creating 'shrunken' characters without losing the iconic LEGO silhouette.
Similar Minifigures
Ant-Man (White Suit Microfigure - sh166), Ant-Man (Red/Black Microfigure - 85863pb094).
Collectibility
High for Marvel completionists. Scale-accurate representations are highly desired for movie-accurate MOCs and displays.
History
Part of the first wave of LEGO Ant-Man representation, showcasing the transition from standard minifigures to character-specific micro-scales.
Interesting Facts
Though this piece is often mistaken for a helmet by those who find it loose, it is actually a complete standalone figure representing the character's primary superpower.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to the full-size Scott Lang minifigure (sh165) to show the 'shrinking' effect. Use a 1x1 stud to secure it.
Modification Potential
Commonly used in MOCs as an 'energy' statue, a holoprojector image, or a trophy for a trophy room.
Overall Assessment
A unique and essential piece of Marvel LEGO history. Its transparent nature and specific printing make it a standout accessory for any Avengers collection.
