Rarity
Unique Custom. While the head and hair are official LEGO pieces, the torso and legs feature non-LEGO (third-party) custom printing or high-quality decals to represent the England 2000s era Umbro kit.
Head
Light Flesh, Male, Cheek Lines, Smirk (LEGO Part 3626c). This specific face print is widely used, notably for characters like Han Solo in certain Star Wars sets. Hair is Spiky Reddish Brown (LEGO Part 98385).
Torso
Custom printed white football jersey featuring the England Three Lions crest, blue number 7 (associated with David Beckham), and the Umbro double-diamond logo. Arms are dual-molded or printed with flesh tone and white to simulate short sleeves.
Legs
Custom printed black shorts with white socks and blue boot details. Features the number 7, the Umbro logo, and the England crest on the thighs. Includes printed sock trim lines.
Accessories
None pictured. Typically displayed with a LEGO soccer ball (Part 72732) or a trophy element.
Color Scheme
White, Navy Blue, and Red (England National colors). Primary colors: White (Jersey/Socks), Black (Shorts), Reddish Brown (Hair), Light Flesh (Skin).
Printing Details
Highly detailed UV or Pad printing on a custom scale. Unlike official LEGO Sports figures from 2000-2006, this has full leg and side-leg printing which exceeds standard LEGO production complexity for that era.
Variants
Many custom creators (like United Bricks or Minifigs.me) produce similar football stars. This specific version uses the 2002-2004 era England away/home mashup kit style.
Condition Notes
The light flesh arms appear slightly yellowed or mismatched in the photo. Custom prints are more susceptible to scratching than official LEGO pad printing. Check for 'play wear' on the hip joints.
Estimated Value
Used Custom: $15.00 - $30.00 USD. Value is subjective as it is not an official LEGO Group product, but depends on the reputation of the custom printer used.
Price (New)
N/A. Custom minifigures of this detail level typically retail for $25.00 - $40.00 when new from boutique customizers.
Compatible Sets
None. However, it fits perfectly with the LEGO 3409 Championship Challenge or 3420 Soccer Bus (German/International variants).
Character Background
David Beckham, former captain of the England National Team. Famous for his 'Number 7' jersey, free-kicks, and global celebrity status during the late 90s and 2000s.
Design Notes
Uses 100% official LEGO head and hair but third-party torso and legs. The inclusion of the Umbro and FA logos indicates it is a 'custom' meant for adult collectors, as LEGO rarely licenses third-party kit sponsors.
Similar Minifigures
Official LEGO Sports minifigures (2000-2006) like Zidane or Figo, and the DFB German National Team Collectible Minifigure Series (71014).
Collectibility
Moderate for football fans; low for LEGO purists. Collectors of 'The Beautiful Game' in brick form highly value these accurately detailed custom players.
History
LEGO officially produced a soccer line from 2000-2006 but lacked licensed player likenesses for the English team. This custom fills the gap left after the 2002 World Cup sets.
Interesting Facts
The head chosen for this custom is often used for Han Solo, which fans find humorous given Beckham's own 'rogue' hero status in English sports history.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a tiered stadium MOC (My Own Creation) or a small acrylic case with a custom printed 'England' nameplate.
Modification Potential
The head can be swapped for a 'Modern' Beckham look (using a beard print) or the hair can be swapped for a blonde 'Man Utd' era style.
Overall Assessment
A high-quality custom representation of a sporting icon. While not an official release, the print accuracy to the 2000s Umbro kit makes it a standout piece for sports-themed collections.
