Year Released
2014, released alongside LEGO Creator and promotional sets themed around the Brazil FIFA World Cup.
Rarity
Very Rare. This was a limited promotional item often found in exclusive regional sets or as a limited-edition accessory, specifically linked to the 2014 World Cup licensing.
Head
The piece is a monolithic mold designed as a nano-figure scale trophy. It features a spherical top representing a globe (the world), which is a characteristic element of the actual FIFA World Cup Trophy.
Torso
Integral to the piece; depicts two human figures holding up the Earth. The detail is impressively high for such a small scale, mimicking the Silvio Gazzaniga-designed original trophy.
Legs
Circular base with two green painted bands representing the malachite rings found on the base of the real-world trophy.
Accessories
This item is technically categorized as a minifigure accessory (statue) or a nano-figure. It does not carry additional accessories but is meant to be held by a standard minifigure using the base connection.
Color Scheme
Pearl Gold with dark green printed bands on the base.
Printing Details
Precision pad printing on the cylindrical base involving two parallel green lines. The rest of the piece relies on a high-detail injection mold to create the texture and shape.
Variants
Standard gold versions exist in other sets with no printing. This specific version with the green 'malachite' rings is the licensed FIFA variant.
Condition Notes
The pearl gold plastic is prone to 'swirl' marks from the molding process. The green printing on the base is susceptible to chipping if handled frequently by minifigure hands.
Estimated Value
New/Mint: $40 - $70 USD. Used: $25 - $40 USD. Prices fluctuate significantly based on the proximity to World Cup events and collector demand for sports memorabilia.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 40201 or given as a promotional polybag item. Historically, these sets retailed for approximately $10-$15, making the trophy's value now exceed the original cost of the entire set.
Compatible Sets
40201 (LEGO Soccer/Football promotional set), various 2014 regional Adidas/FIFA promotions.
Character Background
Represents the highest honor in international football (soccer), the FIFA World Cup Trophy. It was introduced to celebrate the 2014 tournament held in Brazil.
Design Notes
Features a unique 1x1 base diameter allowing it to be placed on studs or held by a minifigure hand. It is one of the most accurate 'real-world' object recreations at this scale.
Similar Minifigures
Standard LEGO Trophy (part 98397), Gold Oscar-style statuette (part 90398), and the Series 18 Anniversary Race Car Guy trophy.
Collectibility
High. Because of the niche cross-section between LEGO collectors and football fans, this item maintains strong value and high demand on the secondary market.
History
Launched during LEGO's brief resurgence of sports licensing in the mid-2010s. It stands as a pinnacle of their sport-themed accessory design.
Interesting Facts
The green bands are a specific detail that LEGO usually omits from generic trophies, marking this as an officially licensed FIFA product. It is often mistaken for a common trophy by casual sellers.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a trophy cabinet MOC or held by a custom-national team minifigure. UV protection is recommended to prevent the pearl gold from fading.
Modification Potential
Excellent for use as a 'statue' in a museum MOC or as a central objective in a stadium-themed diorama.
Overall Assessment
A premium accessory that bridges the gap between a tool and a figure. Its high level of detail and specific licensing make it a 'crown jewel' for LEGO Sports collectors.
