Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2016 - Released alongside the MCU's Civil War wave. This figure represented Scott Lang's 'normal' size relative to the buildable Giant-Man in the same set.
Rarity
Uncommon - Exclusive to a single, retired mid-range set. While not inherently rare in production volume, it is highly sought after as one of the few detailed Ant-Man figures.
Head
Pearl Dark Gray Minifigure, Headgear Helmet Ant-Man with Trans-Red Eyes. The head underneath is a standard light flesh head with Scott Lang's smirk and stubble (shared with other Paul Rudd characters).
Torso
Black Torso with suit detailing: Red panels, silver piping, and a central red regulator button. Features back printing and silver-lined shoulder pads. Arms are black with gray hands.
Legs
Black Legs with intricate red and silver armor plating print on the front. No side leg printing. The hip piece is black.
Accessories
Typically none included in the box for the figure itself, as the 'Giant-Man' build in the set serves as the character's primary accessory. This figure often carries a plain translucent blue 'shrink' piece in MOCs.
Color Scheme
Black, Red, and Pearl Dark Gray with Silver accents. The red and silver elements utilize metallic ink for a high-tech comic/movie accurate look.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front/back) and legs (front). The alignment of the silver 'piping' from the torso to the legs is a key quality indicator.
Variants
Standard version (sh226); a microfigure version exists (sh230); and a 2018 version (sh519) based on 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' with a different helmet mold and suit print.
Condition Notes
The silver printing on the torso is prone to scratching. The helmet mold has thin 'antenna' sections that can stress or snap if stepped on or handled roughly.
Estimated Value
New/Sealed: $12 - $18; Used: $8 - $12 (Market values fluctuate based on availability of current Marvel sets).
Price (New)
$29.99 (The price of set 76051: Super Hero Airport Battle). The figure was part of a 6-minifigure lineup.
Compatible Sets
76051 Super Hero Airport Battle (2016).
Character Background
Scott Lang, the second Ant-Man, utilizing Pym Particles to shrink or grow. This specific suit is modeled after the design seen in Captain America: Civil War.
Design Notes
Uses the newer Ant-Man helmet mold with the transparent red visor built-in. This mold was a significant upgrade over the Series 13 'shrinking' concepts.
Similar Minifigures
Yellowjacket (sh231), Wasp (sh520), and the original 2015 Ant-Man (sh201).
Collectibility
High. Marvel completionists require this version for the Civil War display. Its value remains stable as it wasn't re-released in later 'Legacy' or 'Infinity Saga' sets.
History
Followed the 2015 'Ant-Man' movie release; represents a more streamlined, metallic suit design than the first iteration.
Interesting Facts
Despite being 'minifigure size', at the scale of SET 76051, this figure actually represents Ant-Man at 'normal' human size, while the brick-built figure is 'Giant-Man'.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to the brick-built Giant-Man or inside the LEGO Quinjet to recreate the airport battle scene.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' Avengers MOCs. The helmet is frequently used for custom 'Wasp' or 'Atom' (DC) figures by swapping the visor colors.
Overall Assessment
A standout Marvel minifigure with exceptional printing and a highly specialized helmet mold. Rated 9/10 for accuracy to the source material.
