2021 context: Released as part of the DC FanDome 2021 promotional event during the peak of interest in Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Rarity
Very Rare. It was a sweepstakes exclusive for the DC FanDome 2021 event, never sold in retail sets.
Head
Dual-sided light flesh head: one side features a determined look with black eyebrows, the other shows 'Heat Vision' red glowing eyes and an angry expression. Includes a black swept-back hair piece.
Torso
Black torso with silver 'S' crest (House of El) in a stylized font, light bluish gray muscle definition, and silver metallic ribbing/piping. Back printing continues the silver suit detailing.
Legs
Black legs with silver metallic line printing on the front of the hips and thighs to represent the suit's tactical seams. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
One black soft-fabric cape (single hole) and a clear 1x2 support stand for flight posing (depending on original packaging).
Color Scheme
Monochromatic 'Black and Silver' palette. Primary color is black with metallic silver highlights and flesh-toned hands.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of modern promotional figures. Features crisp metallic silver lines on the torso and legs. Head includes high-resolution red detail for the heat vision eyes.
Variants
This is the only official LEGO version of the 'Recovery Suit' or Black Suit Superman. It differs from standard blue/red Superman figures (e.g., sh003, sh226).
Condition Notes
The black soft cape is prone to fraying and creasing. The metallic silver printing on the chest and hips can rub off with play or friction. Check for micro-cracks under the arms.
Estimated Value
Historically valued between $300 and $600 USD depending on the market. Used complete: $250 - $400. New/Sealed in polybag: $500+.
Price (New)
Original retail price was $0.00 as it was a promotional giveaway prize. Retail value is purely dictated by the secondary collector market.
Compatible Sets
Does not appear in any retail sets; distributed via DC FanDome 2021 Giveaway Polybag.
Character Background
Representing Superman's 'Recovery Suit' from the comics (The Death and Return of Superman) and his appearance in Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) after his resurrection.
Design Notes
Uses the traditional Superman hair mold in black. The 'S' logo is the modern DCEU version rather than the classic comic book version. Unique silver-on-black color palette.
Similar Minifigures
Superman (sh003), Superman - Evil (col138), Bizarro (sh059), and other DCEU Justice League members like Batman and Wonder Woman.
Collectibility
Extremely high. It is a 'holy grail' item for DC Super Heroes collectors due to its limited distribution and character importance.
History
First and only release in 2021. Marks one of the few times LEGO acknowledged the Snyder Cut of the Justice League film in a physical product.
Interesting Facts
The giveaway was international but had very few winners per region. It is one of the most expensive 'modern' DC minifigures produced outside of San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) exclusives.
Display Suggestions
Display in a UV-protected acrylic case. Ideal for a Justice League 'Snyder Cut' lineup or a 'History of Superman' evolution display.
Modification Potential
Lower potential due to high value; collectors prefer to keep it in 'purist' original form. Parts could be used for 'Bizarro' or 'General Zod' customs.
Overall Assessment
Quality Score: 10/10. An essential but expensive centerpiece for any DC collector. Recommended for high-end collectors as a 'Hold' asset.
