sh102
Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2014. It debuted in the Spider-Helicopter Rescue set, representing a comic-book accurate design shift for the theme.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not limited-edition, it appeared in only one standard retail set which is now retired.
Head
Lime green with a specialized molded purple hood/hat piece featuring large pointed ears. Face printing includes yellow eyes with black pupils and a bared-teeth grimace.
Torso
Purple with scale-like printing, a tattered tunic aesthetic, and a brown satchel strap printed from the right shoulder to the waist buckle.
Legs
Purple hips and legs with lime green printing on the mid-thighs to represent the character's boots/leggings, featuring scale details.
Accessories
Typically comes with a pearl dark gray Goblin Glider and a transparent orange pumpkin bomb (not pictured in the provided image).
Color Scheme
A classic primary contrast of Purple and Lime Green, mimicking the original 1960s comic appearance of Norman Osborn.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Features detailing on the front torso and front of the legs. Note the lack of back printing or arm printing, typical of 2014 mid-range figures.
Variants
Distinct from the 2002 movie version (spd005) and the later 'Mighty Micros' or 'Junior' versions. This is the most detail-oriented comic-style version.
Condition Notes
The lime green printing on the purple legs is prone to scratches. Check the 'neck' of the headpiece for cracks and the hands for friction wear.
Estimated Value
Used: $15 - $25 USD. New: $35+ USD. Prices fluctuate based on the condition of the ear-molds and leg printing.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 76016 which retailed for $44.99 USD.

Character Background
The Green Goblin (Norman Osborn) is Spider-Man's archenemy. This version is inspired by his classic Marvel Comics appearance using the 'Goblin Formula'.
Design Notes
The 'ear-hat' piece is a unique mold that fits over a standard head, which was a significant improvement over the older 2002 neck-bracket mask.
Similar Minifigures
Hobgoblin (sh256), Green Goblin - Big Figure (sh385), and the 2002 Helmeted version (spd005).
Collectibility
High. As the definitive 'comic-style' Green Goblin, he is a staple for any Marvel or Spider-Man collection.
History
Followed the 2002-2003 movie-tie in figures and preceded the more modernized or 'Ultimate' versions seen in later 2010s sets.
Interesting Facts
This specific ear mold piece has been repurposed for several goblin and fantasy-themed creatures in subsequent LEGO themes like Elves.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on his Glider at an angle using a transparent bar piece, positioned opposite a classic Spider-Man figure.
Modification Potential
The head and hat are excellent for custom 'Dungeons & Dragons' or fantasy orc/goblin MOCs due to the lime skin tone.
Overall Assessment
A standout 8/10 figure for its era. It perfectly captures the silver-age comic aesthetic and remains the favorite version for many purist collectors.
