Aleksei Sytsevich, known as the Rhino, is a classic Spider-Man supervillain who received an indestructible polymer suit bonded to his skin, granting him superhuman strength and durability.
Design Notes
Utilizes a specialized mid-sized bigfig build rather than standard minifigure parts to accurately capture the bulky, hulking physique of the character in the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series style.

Other Marvel bigfigs such as Sandman (sh173), Hulk, and The Thing from Fantastic Four.
Collectibility
Moderately collectible among Marvel Super Heroes completionists and fans of the Spider-Man rogues gallery.
History
Released in 2015 as part of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes wave tied to the Ultimate Spider-Man animated series era.
Interesting Facts
Unlike standard minifigures, this figure is built using specialized large-format molded components that cannot be disassembled into standard parts like heads, torsos, and legs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a sturdy baseplate alongside other Spider-Man villains like Sandman and Green Goblin in a dynamic action pose.
Modification Potential
Low modification potential due to the specialized non-standard molded body parts, though accessories can be swapped with other bigfig-compatible items.
Overall Assessment
A fun and distinct character representation that breaks away from traditional minifigure design, making it a worthy addition for Marvel theme collectors.
