Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, it was exclusive to a single Mighty Micros set and the line has been discontinued for several years.
Head
Bright purple head with large white cat-eye goggles and green eyes. Smirk expression with red lipstick. This head is unique to this specific version of Catwoman.
Torso
Purple torso with a white zipper print, black paneling on the sides, and a cat-head logo at the zipper pull. Arms and hands are matching purple.
Legs
Short purple legs reflecting the 'Mighty Micros' aesthetic. Features white line printing to suggest the lower curve of her suit.
Accessories
Originally packaged with a carton of milk and a grey crowbar. The figure in the image is missing its accessories and the right hand.
Color Scheme
A vibrant monochrome purple with white and black detailing. This pays homage to her classic 1990s comic book appearances.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front of the head, torso, and legs. No arm or side leg printing, which is standard for the Micros line.
Variants
Standard Catwoman (black/grey suits), 1966 Catwoman, and The LEGO Batman Movie versions. This is the only 'Mighty Micro' variant with stylized features.
Condition Notes
The figure pictured is in poor condition: it is missing the right hand and is missing all accessories. Common wear includes scuffs on the goggle printing.
Estimated Value
In complete condition: $4-$6 USD used; $10+ new. In this damaged state (missing hand/accessories): $1-$2 USD.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 76061 for $9.99 USD, which included Robin and two mini-vehicles.

Character Background
Based on Selina Kyle, the master thief from DC Comics. This specific design uses the 1990s Jim Balent purple costume style, adapted for a 'juniorized' aesthetic.
Design Notes
The Mighty Micros line features exaggerated, cartoony facial features and shortened legs to indicate a more playful, racing-game style.
Similar Minifigures
Batman (sh240), Robin (sh244), and other Series 1 Mighty Micros characters.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a niche item favored by completionist DC collectors or fans of the character's 90s purple look.
History
Part of the debut wave of Mighty Micros in 2016, which reimagined iconic heroes and villains in a comedic, short-form style for younger builders.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a 'toy-like' sub-theme, the use of the purple suit was highly praised by adult fans as it hadn't been seen in LEGO form for a decade.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with its counterpart Batman (sh240) on their respective micro-vehicles.
Modification Potential
The purple torso is useful for custom figures of characters like Huntress or Phantom Girl. The short legs are interchangeable with any modern short-leg figure.
Overall Assessment
A charming, stylized take on a classic character. However, the specimen in the photo is 'play-worn' and incomplete, significantly reducing its value.
