Figure ID
sh751
Theme
DC Super Heroes
Year Released
2021
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. This figure was exclusive to a single, relatively expensive set released toward the end of the DCEU-inspired LEGO wave.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head. Side one features a determined expression with silver scuff marks. Side two features an angry 'heat vision' expression with glowing red eyes. Includes the 'Superman' hairpiece with iconic curl in black.
Torso
Black torso with silver/metallic grey muscle definition and 'House of El' crest. Back printing includes suit texture and spine detailing. Arms are plain black with light flesh hands.
Legs
Black legs with silver printing on the front of the hips and upper legs to represent the continuing suit patterns. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
Black soft-fabric cape. It does not typically come with hand-held accessories but is meant to be displayed with translucent clear elements for flight poses found in the set.
Color Scheme
Monochromatic; primarily black with metallic silver highlights and light flesh skin tones.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with crisp metallic silver ink to distinguish the suit from the black plastic. Dual-molded legs were not used, opting for surface printing instead.
Variants
This is the 'Zack Snyder’s Justice League' version. Other versions of Superman exist in blue/red, and a historically rare version was the 2013 SDCC exclusive Black Suit Superman (sh077), which has significant design differences in the 'S' logo.
Condition Notes
Check for fraying on the black fabric cape. Watch for scratches on the silver torso printing, as metallic inks can rub off with play. The hairpiece is prone to minor scuffs on the 'curl' point.
Estimated Value
$25.00 - $35.00 USD used; $40.00+ USD as part of a sealed set context. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the Snyder Cut media.
Price (New)
Retail set price of $39.99 USD (Set 76240). Not sold individually.
Compatible Sets
76240 DC Batman Batmobile Tumbler (Note: It appeared as an exclusive display minifigure for this set).
Character Background
Representing Kal-El's resurrection suit from the comics (The Death and Return of Superman) and specifically its appearance in the 2021 film 'Zack Snyder\'s Justice League'.
Design Notes
The silver ink used for the 'S' logo has a semi-reflective quality. The face print includes specific battle-damage scuffs unique to this movie-accurate version.
Similar Minifigures
sh077 (SDCC 2013 Black Suit), sh003 (Classic Superman), sh219 (BvS Superman).
Collectibility
High. Since it is the only mass-market black suit Superman LEGO has released (avoiding the $5000+ SDCC price tag), it is a staple for DC collectors.
History
Released as a 'bonus' figure in the 2021 Tumbler set to celebrate the release of the Snyder Cut on HBO Max, marking a rare moment of LEGO acknowledging 'R-rated' film source material.
Interesting Facts
The 'S' on the chest is actually the Kryptonian symbol for 'Hope'. This specific minifigure was a surprise inclusion in a Batman-centric set.
Display Suggestions
Display on a clear 'action stand' to simulate flight, preferably next to the 2021 Tactical Suit Batman to complete the Justice League movie duo.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Solar Suit' MOCs or custom Superman-Prime figures. The head is a popular choice for custom battle-damaged heroes.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier licensed minifigure with unique metallic printing. It is the most accessible way to own an iconic version of the character and is highly recommended for DC fans.
