Year Released
2021 (Included in set 76185)
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a standard retail set, this specific torso and leg printing combination was exclusive to the 'No Way Home' wave, distinguishing it from the 'Multiverse of Madness' or original comic versions.
Head
Light Nougat, dual-sided facial expression: smiling/determined and angry with furrowed brows. Features a black goatee with grey streaks at the temples and a black hairpiece with stylized textured swoosh.
Torso
Dark Blue tunic with intricate gold and light blue embroidery patterns. The Eye of Agamotto is printed in the center with a metallic gold and green finish. Back printing continues the tunic details.
Legs
Dark Blue legs with extensive printing. Detailed brown belt with metallic gold buckle and pouches; lower legs feature black boots with white/silver laces and light blue highlights on the knees.
Accessories
Includes one red fabric cape (two-hole design) and two Trans-Orange Power Burst elements (part 35032) to represent eldritch magic shields or spells.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue and Red (Cape), with metallic gold and light silver accents. The skin tone is Light Nougat and the hair is Black.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs (front). The alignment of the belt print across the hip-to-leg transition is a key quality check for this figure.
Variants
Variants include sh273 (Original 2016), sh508 (Infinity War), and sh808 (Multiverse of Madness with molded plastic cloak). This sh777 version is unique for its fabric cape paired with the 'No Way Home' outfit printing.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include fraying on the edges of the red fabric cape and scratches on the Trans-Orange power bursts. Check for torso cracks under the arms and silver ink rubbing off the boots.
Estimated Value
Used: $8.00 - $12.00; New (pulled from set): $14.00 - $18.00. Values remained stable despite newer versions due to the popularity of the movie 'No Way Home'.
Price (New)
Originally released in set 76185 (Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop), which retailed for $39.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
76185 Spider-Man at the Sanctum Workshop (2021).
Character Background
Based on Benedict Cumberbatch's portrayal of Dr. Stephen Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, specifically his appearance in Spider-Man: No Way Home where he assists Peter Parker with a memory-wiping spell.
Design Notes
The tunic design is more film-accurate than previous versions, utilizing darker shades of navy and more intricate line-work for the Eye of Agamotto. It uses the standard 'Doctor Strange' hair mold that has become a staple for the character.
Similar Minifigures
sh508 (Infinity War version), sh808 (Multiverse of Madness), and the Comic-style version from the Marvel CMF Series 2 (sh914 Zombie Strange/Dead Strange).
Collectibility
High demand for MCU completionists. While not the rarest Dr. Strange, it is considered one of the most balanced designs before LEGO transitioned to the bulkier molded plastic cloak (which some collectors find less posable).
History
Doctor Strange first appeared in LEGO form in 2016. This 2021 version represents the peak of the fabric-cape era before the 2022 redesign introduced the new rigid rubber cloak element.
Interesting Facts
The printing on the legs of this figure actually matches the detail level of much more expensive 'Master Builder Series' figures, despite coming in a $40 play set.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside a custom Sanctum Sanctorum MOC or alongside the Integrated Suit Spider-Man (sh776). Use a clear posing bar to show him 'levitating' with his magic shields.
Modification Potential
The fabric cape can be easily swapped for a custom 'high-collar' cloth cape from third-party vendors to increase accuracy to the films. Torso/legs are excellent for custom 'Sorcerer' MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Marvel minifigure with exceptional leg and torso printing. It is the definitive 'Classic MCU' version of the character for collectors who prefer fabric capes over the newer plastic molds.
