Unfortunately, since the Iron Man 3 range of sets have long since retired the only way to get your hands on the minifigure is via the secondary market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, a minifigure of Trevor Slattery&#8217;s Mandarin is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bricklink.com\/r3\/catalog\/minifigures\/Marvel_Comics\/The_Mandarin\/product.page?M=sh074\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">available on BrickLink<\/a> for around \u00a315, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bricklink.com\/r3\/catalog\/minifigures\/Marvel_Comics\/The_Mandarin\/product.page?M=sh070\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">slightly more with a cape<\/a>. However, that may change when more people have seen the movie and realise that the character is back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To help finish the rest of the Shang-Chi ensemble, two official sets for the latest MCU project are now available in <a class=\"thirstylink nturl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" title=\"76177 Battle at the Ancient Village\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/product\/76177-battle-at-the-ancient-village\" data-shortcode=\"true\" target=\"_blank\">76177 Battle at the Ancient Village<\/a> and <a class=\"thirstylink nturl\" rel=\"nofollow noopener sponsored\" title=\"76176 Escape from The Ten Rings\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/product\/76176-escape-from-the-ten-rings\" data-shortcode=\"true\" target=\"_blank\">76176 Escape from The Ten Rings<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Support the work that&nbsp;<em>Brick Fanatics<\/em>&nbsp;does by purchasing your&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/product\/lego\/\">LEGO<\/a>&nbsp;through one of our&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/product\/lego\/\">affiliate links<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings has revealed returning Marvel characters, including one who already has an older<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"author":44713,"featured_media":142180,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[11289,11290,1537,158,701,8365,22,768,375,5794,5795,7667,9240,5801,9242,11288],"acf":[],"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"link","format":"url"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142177"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44713"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=142177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/142177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/142180"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=142177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=142177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brickfanatics.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=142177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
