Figure ID
sh481
Theme
The LEGO Batman Movie
Year Released
2018 (Included in the Joker Manor set)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not a limited convention exclusive, he only appeared in one large, expensive flagship set (The Joker Manor 70922).
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with dual-sided printing: one side features a nervous, sweaty expression with white goggles; the reverse side typically features a more determined or shocked look. He wears a bright green aviator-style cap/helmet.
Torso
Medium Blue torso with printed yellow belt, various condiment spill stains, and a large 'C' logo in the center. Light blue arms with white hands representing gloves.
Legs
White legs with blue hip piece. The legs feature light blue printing on the front to represent boots and some condiment splatters.
Accessories
Includes a custom brick-built backpack ('Sause-pack') connected via a neck bracket with two flexible black tubes leading to two handheld condiment shooters (ketchup/mustard dispensers) built from light bluish gray and black parts.
Color Scheme
A chaotic mix of Medium Blue, Green, White, and Red/Yellow accents, designed to mimic his campy, low-budget comic book villain aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of 2018 licensed figures. Includes detailed splatter marks on the torso and legs, plus the specific 'C' branding on the chest. No arm printing.
Variants
There is only one official LEGO version of Condiment King. He did not appear as a separate Collectible Minifigure (CMF).
Condition Notes
The flexible black hoses are prone to losing their luster or developing kinks/cracks if stored improperly. The green cap is a soft plastic that can attract dust or scuffs.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $25 - $35 USD; New/Mint condition: $40+ USD. Price is driven by the fact that he was exclusive to a $270 retail set.
Price (New)
Retail set price for 70922 The Joker Manor was $269.99 USD. Calculated price-per-minifigure context is skewed as he was one of ten figures in a massive d2c set.
Compatible Sets
70922 The Joker Manor (2017/2018 release).
Character Background
Originally created for Batman: The Animated Series (1994), Condiment King is a joke villain who uses mustard and ketchup guns to commit crimes. This version reflects his appearance in The LEGO Batman Movie.
Design Notes
The use of the aviator cap in bright green is a clever reuse of older molds to create his distinct goofy look. The backpack assembly is one of the more complex accessory builds for a single figure in that wave.
Similar Minifigures
Killer Moth (sh276), Polka-Dot Man (sh754), and Kite Man (sh401)—all part of the D-list Batman villain lineup from the movie sets.
Collectibility
High. He is a 'fan-favorite' joke character. Because he only appeared in the most expensive set of the theme, collectors often seek him out individually to complete their Batman villain roster.
History
Debuted in the final wave of The LEGO Batman Movie products. This period marked LEGO's peak of deep-diving into obscure DC Comics lore to populate the movie tie-in sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite his goofy appearance, in his first animated appearance he was voiced by Buddy Hackett. This minifigure is often used by fans to recreate the 'villain meeting' scene from the film's intro.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other 'obscure' Batman villains like Egghead and Kite Man. Use a white or light gray baseplate to make his bright colors pop. Ensure hoses are not under extreme tension to prevent long-term damage.
Modification Potential
The 'C' torso is popular for custom 'Captain' characters. The backpack tubes are frequently used in MOCs for machinery or sci-fi fueling stations.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure of the theme due to its absurdity and exclusivity. A must-have for Batman collectors and those who enjoy the humorous side of the LEGO brand. Rated 9/10 for character accuracy and accessory design.
