Figure ID
sh219
Theme
DC Comics Super Heroes
Year Released
2016 - Debuted in the 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. While available in multiple sets, these sets are retired, and the specific dark blue cinematic variant is unique to this era.
Head
Light Flesh dual-sided head. One side features a determined scowl with thick eyebrows; the alternate side shows 'Heat Vision' red glowing eyes. Hair is the 'Superman' mold in black with a signature spit-curl.
Torso
Dark Blue with precise 'Kryptonian' muscle texture printing in silver/black. Features the iconic 'S' shield with a textured yellow background. Back printing continues the muscular suit detailing.
Legs
Dark Blue with silver trim printing on the hips and upper thighs to represent the cinematic suit's piping and boots.
Accessories
Red spongy fabric cape (standard 1-hole or 2-hole top). This specific figure is often packaged with translucent 'Power Blast' elements in other contexts, but the figure itself is the primary component.
Color Scheme
A darker, more muted palette consisting of Dark Blue, Red, and Silver to match the Zack Snyder DCEU aesthetic, departing from the classic bright blue/yellow.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with metallic silver accents. Detailed muscle definition and intricate linework on both the torso and legs. Printing is notably sharper than early 2012 DC figures.
Variants
Distinct from sh003 (Classic) and sh077 (Man of Steel). This version (sh219) has slightly brighter silver lines and different head printing compared to the 2013 sh077 version.
Condition Notes
Check for fraying on the cape edges and 'cape-crease' at the neck. Dark blue plastic easily shows scratches or 'bite marks' more than lighter colors. Check for silver print fading on the legs.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $9; New: $12 - $18 (USD). Value is stable but doesn't reach the heights of SDCC exclusives.

Compatible Sets

Character Background
Based on Henry Cavill's portrayal of Superman in the DCEU theaterical universe, specifically during the conflict with Batman and Doomsday.
Design Notes
Excellent use of silver ink to mimic the metallic sheen of the cinematic costume's chainmail texture.
Similar Minifigures
sh077 (Man of Steel), sh622 (Classic rebirth), sh403 (Justice League version).
Collectibility
High for fans of the DCEU films, though moderate for general LEGO collectors due to the high volume of Superman variants produced.
History
Represents the second major iteration of cinematic Superman in LEGO, reflecting the design shifts between 'Man of Steel' and 'Dawn of Justice'.
Interesting Facts
The 'Power Clash' set (76044) is one of the cheapest ways collectors were able to acquire both a Superman and an armored Batman simultaneously.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside sh217 Armored Batman for a movie-accurate 'versus' scene. Use a clear posing stand to simulate flight.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom 'The Boys' Homelander or other 'evil' Superman MOCs due to the heat vision face.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly detailed representation of the character that perfectly captures the mood of the 2016 film. Recommended for DC collectors.
