Condition Notes
Watch for gold paint rubbing on the torso and hair-line cracks on the Pearl Dark Gray plastic of the arms or torso, as pearlized plastics can sometimes be more brittle.

Character Background
Serving the Mad Titan Thanos, the Chitauri are a cybernetic hive-mind warrior race that first appeared in the MCU during the Battle of New York.
Design Notes
The 2019 design is more metallic and 'mechanical' than the original 2012 version, reflecting the updated CGI aesthetics from the later MCU films.
Similar Minifigures
Outrider (sh505), Chitauri (sh007), Sakaarian Guard (sh120).
Collectibility
High for army-builders who want to create large-scale dioramas; low for pure investment as they were produced in high quantities.
History
Redesigned in 2019 after a 7-year hiatus to celebrate the culmination of the Infinity Saga in Avengers: Endgame.
Interesting Facts
The headpiece used for this figure was slightly modified from the 2012 version to improve the gold metallic luster on the forehead plate.
Display Suggestions
Display in groups of 5-10 to create a swarm effect; looks best when posed attacking the Avengers 'Big Three' (Cap, Iron Man, Thor).
Modification Potential
Excellent for SCI-FI or Cyberpunk MOCs; the torso and head are highly effective for custom 'robot hive' creations.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed grunt figure that provides excellent value for diorama builders. Grade: B (standard mass-market figure).
