Uncommon; this figure was exclusive to a single mid-priced set within the Civil War wave.
Head
Flesh tone (Brown) with dual-sided printing: one side features red goggles and a neutral expression, the other a determined look with his face visible. Black hair piece (Short Buzz Cut).
Torso
Dark gray with detailed silver, black, and red tactical armor printing. Back printing matches the tactical vest design. Dark gray arms with light gray hands.
Legs
Dual-molded or dual-colored appearance: Dark gray hips and one leg dark gray, one leg black (asymmetric design) with knee pad printing.
Accessories
Brick-built wing assembly attached via a neck bracket. Wings use red 2x2 plates, gray clips, and light gray wing tiles. The figure often came with a drone (Redwing) in the set.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Gray and Black with Red accents, reflecting the MCU tactical aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front/back and the dual-sided head. Leg printing is precise but limited to the front.
Variants
This is the Civil War version. Other versions include sh099 (Classic comic/Winter Soldier), sh712 (Captain America/Falcon and Winter Soldier), and sh846 (modern MCU).
Condition Notes
The wing bracket can cause stress marks on the torso neck post. Red 2x2 plates on the wings are prone to scratches. Check for 'neck cracks' which are common in this era.

Character Background
Sam Wilson, known as Falcon, is a close ally of Captain America. This version depicts him as seen in 'Captain America: Civil War' using high-tech Stark-influenced flight gear.
Design Notes
LEGO moved away from specialized wing molds for this figure, opting for a brick-built wing design that allows for more articulation but makes the figure back-heavy.
Similar Minifigures
sh099 Falcon with plastic wings, sh712 Captain America (Sam Wilson) from the CMF series.
Collectibility
Medium to high. While not the rarest MCU figure, it is a key member of the Avengers and the only way to get this specific tactical suit.
History
Follows the 2014 Winter Soldier version. This design marked a shift toward more 'realistic' MCU movie-accurate tactical printing.
Interesting Facts
The asymmetric leg coloring is intended to represent the holster and tactical gear Sam wears on his right leg in the film.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent flight stand or a dynamic aerial pose alongside the 76051 Airport Battle set.
Modification Potential
Great for parts; the wing assembly can be easily modified with 'Feather' pieces or larger tile sections for a more wingspan-heavy look.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 figure for MCU collectors. The tactical printing is excellent, though the brick-built wings can be clunky compared to newer cloth or molded versions.
