Rarity
Uncommon; it was produced for a specific movie tie-in wave and has since been retired.
Head
Dual-sided light flesh head: one side features a determined look with blue eyes, the other (shown) features red glowing eyes for heat vision and a bared-teeth grimace.
Torso
The torso (not fully shown but belonging to sh219) features the Man of Steel suit with dark blue mesh printing, a large 'S' shield, and muscle highlights.
Legs
Dark blue legs with red boots printed on the toes and sides (dual-molded or printed depending on the specific set assembly).
Accessories
Usually paired with a soft red fabric cape; some sets included power burst elements or a clear posing stand.
Color Scheme
Classic primary colors: Dark Blue, Bright Red, and Yellow (for the belt accents).
Printing Details
High detail pad printing; the heat vision eyes are notably vibrant and well-aligned with the facial structure.
Variants
This specific 'Heat Vision' head is distinct from the sh003 (Classic) and sh077 (Man of Steel) versions which lack the red glow eyes.
Condition Notes
The black hair piece is prone to minor surface scratches; check for 'neck cracks' on the torso if the head was removed frequently.
Estimated Value
$5 - $8 for the head and hair only; $12 - $18 for the complete minifigure in used condition.

Included in sets ranging from $14.99 (76044) to $29.99 (76045) and $69.99 (76046).

Character Background
Based on Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), specifically during the conflict with Batman.
Design Notes
The hair piece features the iconic 'spit curl' mold (Part 18919) in black, which was a specific update for this era of Superman.
Similar Minifigures
sh003 Superman, sh077 Movie Superman, sh622 Wonder Woman (DCEU), sh218 Armored Batman.
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for Justice League completionists and fans of the Zack Snyder film era.
History
Released during the peak of the LEGO DC 'Dawn of Justice' wave which introduced more detailed, muted-color costumes.
Interesting Facts
This head was one of the first to successfully use red eye printing that felt 'menacing' rather than just 'robotic'.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a clear flight stand to emphasize the 'floating' heat vision attack pose.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom 'Bizarro' or 'Evil Superman' builds in the MOC community.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate representation of the character's most powerful ability; a must-have head piece for any DC collector.
