Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released

Rarity
Uncommon; as a CMF (Collectible Minifigure), characters are blind-packed, making specific figures harder to find than standard set inclusions.
Head
Dual-sided head in sand green/light aqua; one side features a decaying zombie face with yellow eyes and exposed teeth, the other slightly more distressed. Includes a dark blue helmet with a ripped 'A' logo and metallic scuff marks.
Torso
Dark blue torso with a heavily weathered Captain America uniform; features a tarnished silver star and red/white stripes visible through torn fabric. Sand green/light aqua right arm (zombie skin) and dark blue left arm.
Legs
Dual-molded legs; dark blue with red boots. Heavy printing of battle damage showing tattered fabric and exposed zombie skin on the right shin and feet.
Accessories
Includes a battle-damaged iconic shield with scuff marks and a dented appearance. Originally came with a clear posing neck bracket and 1x2 brick for action displays.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are dark blue, red, and sand green. The accents use metallic silver and white to simulate aged metal and fabric.
Printing Details
Extremely high-quality pad printing on head, helmet, torso (front/back), and legs (front/side). The level of 'distress' detail is superior to standard LEGO Marvel sets.
Variants
There are no official variants of this specific Zombie version. It is distinct from the several dozen 'living' Captain America variants.
Condition Notes
Watch for scratches on the shield's circular print and paint wear on the helmet's scuff marks. Check for 'hip cracks' which can occur in dark blue plastic over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $4 - $7 USD; New (Sealed in bag): $8 - $12 USD. Values vary based on the presence of the original CMF leaflet and extra stand pieces.
Price (New)
Retail price was $4.99 USD at the time of release in 2021 as part of the blind-bag series 71031.

Character Background
Based on the Disney+ series 'What If...?', specifically the episode 'What If... Zombies?!' where Earth's Mightiest Heroes are infected by a quantum virus.
Design Notes
The color used for the skin (Sand Green/Light Aqua) is a departure from standard zombie figures, intended to mimic the specific animation style of the Marvel show.
Similar Minifigures
Zombie Hunter Spidey (colmar11), Zombie Strange (sh830), and various classic Captain America figures (sh177, sh843).
Collectibility
High. As the first-ever official LEGO Marvel Zombie, it is a key piece for both Marvel collectors and 'What If...?' fans.
History
Released in late 2021 as part of LEGO's first dedicated Marvel Collectible Minifigure series, which utilized higher-tier printing and dual-molding than average sets.
Interesting Facts
This is one of the few times LEGO has produced an 'undead' version of a major licensed superhero, a rarity given the brand's family-friendly guidelines.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a CMF frameset or a 'What If...?' themed diorama with a clear action pose bar to simulate he is lunging at a survivor.
Modification Potential
The sand green limbs are highly sought after by MOC builders for creating other custom Marvel zombies like Iron Man or Hawkeye.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure with incredible detail for its price point. It perfectly captures the 'dark' aesthetic of the source material while remaining unmistakably LEGO.
