Design Notes
One of the few sleeveless MCU Falcon figures; accurately depicts his updated tactical suit from Phase 3 of the MCU.
Similar Minifigures
sh508 (Falcon - Infinity War version), sh084 (Falcon - Ultimate Spider-Man/Comic version).
Collectibility
High demand for MCU completionists as it is the most affordable 'classic' MCU Sam Wilson figure compared to later versions.
History
Follows the first movie version (comic-based sh101). This version marked the shift toward movie-accurate tactical printing.
Interesting Facts
The brick-built wings from this set were often criticized for being too heavy, causing the figure to tip over without a stand.
Display Suggestions
Display on a clear poseable fly-bar or stand to show off the flight capabilities; pair with Captain America (sh176) and Winter Soldier (sh257).
Modification Potential
Excellent for military/mercenary MOCs due to the sleeveless tactical vest torso.
Overall Assessment
9/10 for character accuracy. A great figure that holds steady value, though its wings are necessary for full collector appeal.
