Rarity
Uncommon. While small, it was exclusive to a specific movie tie-in set that had a limited shelf life compared to main Avengers sets.
Head
Not a standard head; the nanofigure is a solid single-piece mold with printed details. It features the Ant-Man helmet printed in silver/grey with red accents for the eyes.
Torso
Integral to the body mold. Features high-detail printing representing the Quantum Realm suit with red, silver, and black accents along the chest and waist.
Legs
Fixed non-articulated legs part of the single-piece mold (statue-style bottom). No individual leg articulation is possible.
Accessories
None. The figure itself is designed to be held by a standard minifigure or placed on a single stud.
Color Scheme
Pearl Dark Gray base with Silver and Red pad-printed highlights.
Printing Details
Extremely fine pad printing on the front. Despite the size (height of roughly 2 plates), the printing includes the helmet visor and chest plate lines with high precision.
Variants
Standard 2015 version (sh201) and a white Quantum Suit version from 2019 (sh573). This 2018 version sits between them in terms of design.
Condition Notes
Prone to losing paint on the raised chest and helmet area if played with heavily. Being so small, they are frequently lost or vacuumed up.
Estimated Value
$5 - $8 USD for the figure alone. Sets containing it have increased in value significantly.
Price (New)
Included in Set 76109 (Retail $19.99). The figure was not sold individually.

Character Background
Scott Lang as Ant-Man, utilizing Pym Particles to shrink to sub-atomic levels. This scale represents his 'shrunken' form relative to standard LEGO minifigures.
Design Notes
The 'nanofig' or 'micro-statue' mold was used to provide a sense of scale. It is a one-piece element designed to fit into a minifigure hand.
Similar Minifigures
Wasp Nanofigure, Iron Man Statuette, and the original 2015 Ant-Man microfigure.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. Marvel completionists require these scale figures for accurate Hall of Armor or diorama displays.
History
Introduced as a way to portray shrinking heroes. This specific 2018 design updated the helmet printing to more closely match the MCU 'Ant-Man and the Wasp' costume.
Interesting Facts
This part is so small that it is often overlooked in bulk bins. It is often referred to as a 'trophy' piece because the mold was originally used for trophies in other themes.
Display Suggestions
Place in the hand of the full-sized Ant-Man minifigure or inside a specialized display case to prevent loss.
Modification Potential
Low due to size, though some collectors use them as 'action figures' for standard-sized LEGO characters in MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic piece of engineering that showcases LEGO's ability to print high-detail designs on incredibly small surfaces. A must-have for MCU fans.
