Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2014. Released in the 76014 Spider-Trike vs. Electro set to coincide with The Amazing Spider-Man 2 movie featuring Jamie Foxx's Electro.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotion, this specific version was exclusive to a single, lower-priced set that has long been retired.
Head
Transparent Light Blue head with white and light blue energy/lightning printing. He is pictured here wearing a blue ninja-style wrap (Part 15619), which is not original to the sh105 figure.
Torso
Black torso with blue and white energy/lightning bolts emanating from a central point. Dark Blue arms and Pearl Gold hands. Back printing features continuation of the lightning pattern.
Legs
Black legs with blue, white, and silver lightning/energy crackle printing on the front. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
Originally came with two trans-yellow lightning bolt energy bursts. The figure in the image is shown inside a non-standard capsule and wearing a blue wrap not included in the original set.
Color Scheme
Black, Dark Blue, and Transparent Light Blue with White energy accents and Pearl Gold hands.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs (front). The transparent head allows light to pass through the white energy prints for a glowing effect.
Variants
sh015 (Standard comic version with green/yellow suit), sh105 (this version, movie-inspired), and sh783 (No Way Home version with yellow energy).
Condition Notes
Transparent heads are prone to internal micro-cracks if placed too tightly on the torso; the black torso and legs can easily show scratches and 'silvering' wear on the printing.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $7 - $12 USD. New/Mint: $15 - $20 USD. The capsule and wrap shown in the image do not significantly add to this value.
Price (New)
$12.99 USD (original retail price of set 76014). The figure currently holds roughly 70-80% of the original set's value.
Compatible Sets
76014 Spider-Trike vs. Electro (2014).
Character Background
Based on Max Dillon, who becomes Electro. This specific design is a hybrid of the 'Ultimate' comic look and the 2014 movie aesthetic where he appears as a blue energy being.
Design Notes
Significant for being one of the first Marvel figures to use a transparent head for an elemental effect. The dark blue arms accurately reflect the movie costume's color tones.
Similar Minifigures
sh015 Comic Electro, sh497 Outrider (for the dark energy look), and various Spider-Man movie villains.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a staple for Spiderman 'Sinister Six' collectors, though newer movie versions have slightly decreased the exclusivity of this blue aesthetic.
History
Followed the 2012 release of the comic-style Electro; marked a shift in LEGO Marvel design toward more detailed, movie-accurate prints during the 2014-2015 era.
Interesting Facts
The 'blue' Jamie Foxx design was controversial at the time of the movie's release, making this figure a unique memento of that specific cinematic era.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the sh103 Spider-Man and sh104 Green Goblin. The transparent head looks best when backlit or placed on a white brick.
Modification Potential
The head is highly sought after for MOCs (My Own Creations) involving ghosts, elemental beings, or frozen characters.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible from the early MCU/Spider-Man era. Standout features are the electricity printing and trans-blue head. (Note: The head-wrap in the image belongs to a Ninjago figure).
