Custom / Unofficial (Dragon Ball Z / Dragon Ball Super)
Year Released
Approx. 2015-2020 (Unlicensed production context)
Rarity
Common (Mass-produced unofficial product). While not widely found in LEGO stores, these are mass-marketed on sites like AliExpress.
Head
Custom purple-lavender head mold featuring large anime-styled eyes and a neutral expression. It includes a molded white upright hairpiece which is part of the custom mold.
Torso
Dark blue torso with custom printing of an Angel's robe from Dragon Ball Super. Features gold/tan sash detailing and red trim. Sand-green arms with lavender (light purple) hands.
Legs
Sand-green legs with red boots and red/dark blue robe print continuing from the torso. The printing is inconsistent with the high alignment standards of official LEGO.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Gold custom molded shoulder/neck piece known as an 'Angel Halo' or collar piece. It lacks the staff commonly packaged with this unofficial figure.
Color Scheme
A complex blend of lavender, sand green, dark blue, red, and pearl gold to match the character Whis's anime appearance.
Printing Details
Pad-printed but likely not to official LEGO specs. You can see slight alignment issues where the torso meets the legs. The skin tone is 'Medium Lavender', not a typical LEGO flesh tone for humanoid characters.
Variants
There are multiple versions of Whis by different 'brands' like Kopf, WM Blocks, or POGO, varying in the quality of the halo and face print.
Condition Notes
Note the visible 'seam lines' and rough edges on the hair piece indicating lower-quality plastics. Check for consistent arm tension as joints on bootlegs often crack or lose friction faster than genuine parts.
Estimated Value
$1.00 - $3.00 USD. Since it is not a genuine LEGO product, it has no value in the LEGO secondary market (BrickLink/BrickOwl) and is sold primarily for its character novelty.
Price (New)
Usually bundled in sets of 8 characters for approximately $5.00 - $10.00 on wholesale marketplaces.
Compatible Sets
None. The Dragon Ball IP has never been officially licensed by The LEGO Group (as of this date).
Character Background
Whis is the Angel of Universe 7, the attendant and martial arts teacher of Beerus, the God of Destruction. He is known for his immense power, speed, and love of Earth's food.
Design Notes
The designer of this bootleg successfully captured the distinct upward-slanted eyes of Whis and the unusual neck ring, though the plastic quality lacks the glossy 'ABS' sheen of official LEGO parts.
Similar Minifigures
Other customs like Lord Beerus, Super Saiyan Blue Goku, and Golden Frieza, which are typically sold by the same unofficial manufacturers.
Collectibility
Low. Collectors of genuine LEGO generally avoid these, though they are popular for 'MOC' (My Own Creation) displays for fans of the Dragon Ball franchise who want minifigure-scale representations.
History
These appeared shortly after the debut of the movie 'Battle of Gods' and the 'Dragon Ball Super' series when fan demand for minifigures outpaced official licensing possibilities.
Interesting Facts
The 'Pearl Gold' neck piece is a completely unique mold that does not exist in the official LEGO library, a hallmark of high-effort bootleg brands.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Dragon Ball characters in a custom 'Tournament of Power' arena scene. Handle with care, as the gold paint on the neck piece can flake with heavy use.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Given its low cost, it is a great candidate for painting, gluing, or modifying without worrying about devaluing a rare official piece.
Overall Assessment
This is a non-official LEGO 'knock-off' of the character Whis. While it captures the character's likeness well for fans of Dragon Ball, it has zero resale value to LEGO collectors and should not be mistaken for a genuine product.
