Rarity
Uncommon. While only appearing in two sets, the character is widely available due to the popularity of the film's wave but holds value due to being the primary protagonist.
Head
Black mask featuring metallic silver printing for the cat-like facial features, eyes, and brow. The mask includes molded ears on the top of the head piece.
Torso
Black torso with intricate metallic silver printing on the front and back, depicting the Wakandan Vibranium suit texture and a prominent claw necklace design.
Legs
Black legs with metallic silver printing on the front of the hips and thighs, continuing the decorative 'Wakandan' patterns from the torso.
Accessories
Usually paired with light bluish gray power bursts or claw elements (not pictured). The figure in the image is standing without held accessories.
Color Scheme
A 'Black-out' aesthetic featuring Black as the primary color with Sharp Metallic Silver accents and printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and front of the legs. The silver ink has a reflective, metallic sheen to mimic Vibranium.
Variants
This is the 'Shuri' version of the suit. It differs from the T'Challa versions (sh466, sh076) which have different necklace patterns and helmet eye shapes.
Condition Notes
The metallic silver printing is prone to 'silvering' or rubbing off with heavy play. Check for 'neck cracks' in the torso and arm joint stiffness.

Character Background
Following the passing of T'Challa, Shuri takes up the mantle of the Black Panther during the events of 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' to protect her nation from Namor.
Design Notes
LEGO designers transitioned Shuri to the Black Panther suit by retaining some of her signature 'dot' patterns in the silver printing while using a more aggressive mask mold.
Similar Minifigures
sh466 Black Panther (T'Challa), sh729 Black Panther (Mech suit version), sh076 Black Panther (original comic version).
Collectibility
High for MCU completionists as Shuri is a major title character, though high production numbers keep the price accessible for now.
History
First released in late 2022 to coincide with the sequels' theatrical release, marking the official transition of the mantle in minifigure form.
Interesting Facts
The printing on the legs and torso contains subtle geometric shapes that represent Shuri's unique laboratory-influenced design for the suit compared to the more traditional tribal patterns of previous Panthers.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Namor (sh830) or Attuma (sh828) minifigures on a transparent blue baseplate to simulate the final battle scene from the film.
Modification Potential
The head can be swapped with a classic Shuri hairpiece (Part 37623) and a flesh-toned Shuri head to depict her unmasked.
Overall Assessment
An excellent representation of a pivotal MCU character with sharp, high-contrast printing. A must-have for Marvel collectors.
