Theme
Batman
Year Released
2006
Rarity
Rare; this figure was released in only one set during the initial run of the Batman theme and is highly sought after by collectors of classic LEGO DC.
Head
Light Flesh skin tone with dual-sided printing: one side shows light flesh Harvey Dent with a determined look, the other (visible) side features the 'scarred' purple face with a robotic white eye and gritted teeth. Headgear is a unique molded hair piece split between black and white colors.
Torso
Unique split-pattern suit; the left half is white with a black tie and pocket detail, while the right half is black. Arm colors are matched to the suit (left arm white, right arm black) with flesh-toned hands.
Legs
Split color matching the torso; the left leg is white and the right leg is black, joined by a white/black shared hip piece.
Accessories
In its original set (7781), this figure included two monochrome pistols (one light bluish gray, one dark bluish gray) and often a printed 1x1 tile representing his signature coin.
Color Scheme
A sharp contrast of White, Black, and Purple (scarring) with Light Flesh skin tones and Dark Bluish Gray accents in the suit printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing for 2006 standards. Detailed lapels on the suit and unique asymmetrical facial printing that aligns perfectly with the hair piece split.
Variants
This is the 'light flesh' version. A later 'purple' suit version (sh007) was released in 2012, and a movie-inspired version (sh319) appeared later. This 2006 version is the most nostalgic for early Batman fans.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to discoloration on the white torso and leg halves if exposed to UV light. Check for 'arm cracks' at the elbows and torso sides, which were common in early 2000s joints.
Estimated Value
Current market value for a used complete figure ranges from $50 to $85 USD. A new/pristine condition figure can exceed $100 USD depending on the market.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 7781 (The Batmobile: Two-Face's Escape) which retailed for $29.99 USD in 2006.

Character Background
Harvey Dent, former District Attorney of Gotham City, turned criminal after being scarred. He makes decisions based on the flip of a two-headed coin. This design is inspired by the classic comic book and 1990s animated series aesthetics.
Design Notes
The hair piece (Part 54728) is a standout element for 2006, requiring a dual-molding process to get the stark black/white split precisely down the middle.
Similar Minifigures
sh007 Two-Face (Purple Suit), sh319 Two-Face (The LEGO Batman Movie), and other 2006 classic villains like bat002 (The Joker) and bat005 (The Riddler).
Collectibility
High. The 2006 Batman line is considered a 'Golden Era' for LEGO collectors, making the bat004 a cornerstone for any DC Comics collection.
History
This figure marked the debut of Two-Face in LEGO form. It remained the definitive version for six years until the Super Heroes line launched in 2012.
Interesting Facts
The face print features a classic 'cartoony' aesthetic that was later abandoned for more complex, gritty textures in modern LEGO DC sets.
Display Suggestions
Display in a shadow box alongside a 2006 Batman. A custom stand featuring a 1x1 silver tile (his coin) enhances the presentation.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs (My Own Creations) involving Arkham Asylum scenes or custom classic Batman dioramas.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier collectable. Its distinctive black-and-white aesthetic makes it one of the most visually striking minifigures of its decade. Rating: 9/10.
