Common: This figure appeared in multiple sets across 2020-2022, including high-volume sets like the Avengers Helicarrier and accessible dual-pack sets.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head with dark blue mask printing. Features white 'A' on the forehead, eye holes, and two expressions: determined/neutral and an angry/gritting teeth look.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with detailed printing of the Captain America tactical suit. Includes a silver star in a circle, red and white vertical abdominal stripes, and dark blue utility belt details. Dark blue arms and red hands.
Legs
Plain Dark Blue legs with no printing. This is the standard configuration for this identifier.
Accessories
Missing in image. Typically includes a round red, white, and blue shield with a central silver star and sometimes a trans-blue energy element or hairpiece.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Blue with accents of Red, White, and Silver. The darker shade of blue is intended to evoke a more modern, tactical appearance compared to the bright 'Classic' blue versions.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on head and torso. The white 'A' and the silver star are crisp. The abdominal stripes are well-registered against the dark blue plastic.
Variants
Variants include sh177 (Winter Soldier version), sh403 (Infinity War bearded version), and sh843 (Avengers 1 version). This specific version (sh623) is defined by the specific torso pattern and mask print.
Condition Notes
The example shown has visible dust and lint. Common wear includes silver print rubbing off the star and mask, or stress marks on the red hands from holding the shield.
Estimated Value
New: $4.00 - $6.00 | Used: $2.50 - $4.00. Value is relatively low due to the high production volume and broad availability.
Price (New)
$9.99 to $119.99 (Set context). As a staple character, he was often packaged in $15-$25 entry-level sets.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Steve Rogers, a Super-Soldier of WWII and member of the Avengers. This LEGO version represents his modern comic/animated appearance rather than a specific movie-accurate replica.
Design Notes
Features the 2020 torso redesign which added more technical linework to the utility belt. The use of dark blue vs. standard blue highlights LEGO's move toward more 'muted' tactical tones for Marvel heroes.
Similar Minifigures
sh108 Captain America (Avengers), sh184 Captain America (Civil War), sh729 Captain America (Falcon/Sam Wilson).
Collectibility
Moderate to Low. While essential for a complete Avengers lineup, its high availability makes it a base-level collectible rather than a high-investment piece.
History
First appearing in 2012, Captain America has seen over a dozen variations. This 2020 version standardized the 'modern comic' look for several years of sets.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an 'Endgame' era figure in some sets, this torso print doesn't strictly follow the MCU movie suit, opting for a design that blends comic and cinematic elements.
Display Suggestions
Place alongside the 2020 Iron Man (sh612) and Thor (sh624) for a 'Big Three' team-up. Use a clear 1x2 bar piece to pose the shield if the accessory is acquired.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs. The dark blue legs can be swapped for printed ones from sh177 to add detail, and the head is frequently used for custom tactical heroes.
Overall Assessment
A solid, standard-issue minifigure that captures the essence of the character well. It is an essential budget-friendly option for any Marvel fan, though it lacks the premium feel of dual-molded legs or side-arm printing.
