Figure ID

Theme
DC Super Heroes
Year Released
2016 (Released in Wave 4 of LEGO Dimensions)
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a specific expansion pack (71236), it was widely available at retail during the LEGO Dimensions lifespan. Its specific torso print is less common than the Man of Steel or New 52 variants.
Head
Double-sided flesh-tone head. Features a determined/angry expression with red 'heat vision' eyes on one side, and a confident smirk on the other. This figure is missing its black 'hair swept with curl' piece in the image.
Torso
Bright blue torso with muscle definition printing. Features the iconic 'S' shield in red and yellow. The back includes muscle definition and the continuation of the red/yellow belt. Blue arms and light flesh hands.
Legs
Bright blue legs with printing on the hips and front. The printing depicts a red belt with yellow rectangular buckles and a red 'V' shape transition to the boots (though the boots themselves are blue, not dual-molded).
Accessories
Includes a red fabric cape (missing in image) and is mounted on a translucent blue LEGO Dimensions 'Toy Tag' base (18603c02p07) with the Superman logo, which allows the character to be played in the video game.
Color Scheme
Classic primary colors: Bright Blue, Bright Red, and Bright Yellow. This palette represents the traditional 'Silver Age' comic book appearance rather than the darker cinematic versions.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the mid-2010s. The 'S' shield is centered and crisp. The belt alignment across the hip piece is a common point of minor factory variation but generally very clean.
Variants
This specific variant (sh219) is distinguished by its unique torso/leg print combo. It differs from sh003 (Classic) which has a different belt, and sh077 (Man of Steel) which has darker colors and different textures.
Condition Notes
The figure in the image is missing the hair piece and the red fabric cape. Common wear points include fraying on the cape edges and 'heel cracks' on the back of the blue legs. The Toy Tag base is prone to scratching on the bottom.
Estimated Value
Used (Complete with hair/cape/base): $10-$15. Incomplete (as shown): $5-$8. New (Sealed Fun Pack): $25-$35. Value is driven primarily by the NFC base for game players and the torso for purist collectors.
Price (New)
Originally sold in the 71236 Superman Fun Pack for $14.99 USD retail.

Character Background
Superman (Clark Kent), the Man of Steel from Krypton. A founding member of the Justice League. This version appeared in the LEGO Dimensions crossover game, capable of flight and invulnerability to heat/gold bricks.
Design Notes
This design was a blend of classic comic aesthetics and the then-current 'New 52' style, specifically using the red belt loops to modernize the look without utilizing the 'red trunks' of the older motifs.
Similar Minifigures
sh003 (Classic Superman), sh598 (Rebirth Superman), sh077 (Man of Steel Superman), and sh220 (Power Girl).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is essential for completionists of the LEGO Dimensions line or DC Super Heroes fans. It lacks the extreme rarity of Comic-Con exclusives but maintains a steady 'nostalgia' value.
History
Superman was first introduced as a minifigure in 2011/2012. This 2016 version reflects the 'mid-era' of DC Super Heroes where printing became more detailed on the legs and hips compared to early 2012 versions.
Interesting Facts
In the LEGO Dimensions game, this character is one of the most powerful 'all-in-one' figures, able to fly and bypass many puzzle obstacles, making the physical figure highly desirable for gameplay.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on its unique Toy Tag base. If using in a Hall of Justice MOC, it should be placed alongside other Dimensions-era DC figures like Supergirl (71340) or Wonder Woman (71209).
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' customizers. The torso is often used to create a more modern comic-book Superman by swapping in dual-molded red/blue legs from later Spider-Man or Wonder Woman figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, quintessentially 'heroic' minifigure. While the example in the image is 'Incomplete' (lacking hair/cape), the torso and intact NFC base make it a functional and recognizable collector's piece.
