Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a blind-bag series, it was limited to the Series 1 run and is no longer in production, making it highly sought after by Marvel fans.
Head
Dual-sided head with reddish-brown skin tone. Side one features a confident smirk with white and red goggles; side two features a more determined combat expression. Includes a black short hair piece.
Torso
Dark blue torso with intricate printing of Sam Wilson's Captain America suit, featuring the silver star, red and white striped accents, and silver utility detailing. Red hands representing gloves.
Legs
Dual-molded legs (dark blue and light gray) with silver, red, and blue printing detailing the boots and tactical suit segments. Side printing is present on the legs for extra detail.
Accessories
Massive brick-built wings consisting of several printed tiles on a light gray frame attached via a neck bracket. Includes the iconic Captain America shield and a translucent Redwing drone piece.
Color Scheme
A patriotic mix of dark blue, white, and red, accented by light gray and metallic silver printing.
Printing Details
High-fidelity 360-degree printing. This figure features dual-molded legs and printing on the front, back, and sides of the legs, as well as the arms, which was a high standard for the CMF line.
Variants
This is the only version of Sam Wilson as Captain America in the CMF line. A similar but less detailed version appeared later in the 2023 set 76260, but it lacks the side printing and wing complexity of this one.
Condition Notes
The wing attachment point (neck bracket) can cause minor stress marks if removed frequently. The large printed wing tiles are prone to scratching if not stored carefully.
Estimated Value
New (Sealed Bag): $10-$15. Used Complete: $7-$10. The value is driven by the fact that it is the most detailed Sam Wilson figure to date.
Price (New)
$4.99 (Retail price of one blind bag in 2021).

Character Background
Based on Sam Wilson's appearance in the Disney+ series 'The Falcon and the Winter Soldier', where he officially takes up the mantle of Captain America from Steve Rogers.
Design Notes
The wings are a highlight, utilizing specialized printed 1x2 and 2x2 tiles to create a span much larger than standard minifigure wings. The arm printing and dual-molded legs represent the 'premium' quality of the CMF line.
Similar Minifigures
Captain America (Steve Rogers), The Falcon (sh138), and Winter Soldier (sh713).
Collectibility
High. As a landmark character transition in the MCU and a highly detailed CMF entry, it is a core piece for Marvel collectors.
History
Released in September 2021 as part of the first-ever Marvel-themed CMF series, capturing the transition of the character following the end of the Infinity Saga phase.
Interesting Facts
This figure is often cited as the 'bulkiest' CMF in the series due to the sheer number of parts required to build the wings, making the blind bag very easy to identify by touch.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a clear flight stand or a custom 'hover' mount to showcase the wingspan. Works excellently alongside the CMF Winter Soldier (Bucky Barnes).
Modification Potential
The wings can be utilized for various sci-fi MOCs. The printed torso and legs are popular for creating custom 'Patriot' or advanced tactical hero builds.
Overall Assessment
9/10. An exceptional minifigure that uses the CMF budget to its full potential with complex wing construction and top-tier printing. A must-have for MCU fans.
