Rarity
Niche - Custom printed figures are typically produced in limited batches by independent shops.
Head
Medium Nougat skin tone with stylized anime-type eyes and a small smile; topped with a Black 'Spiky Fin' mohawk hairpiece (resembling the LEGO part 98370).
Torso
Medium Nougat torso with a black and gold vest design; featuring gold arm bands (wristbands) printed on Medium Nougat arms. The printing style is flat digital pad or UV printing.
Legs
Light Bluish Gray base with printed baggy pant creases, an orange and black sash/belt detail at the waist, and orange/red printed boot details at the bottom.
Accessories
None depicted; typically displayed with power-blast effects or martial arts staff (not included in image).
Color Scheme
Medium Nougat (skin), Black and Gold (vest), Light Bluish Gray (pants), and Orange (accents).
Printing Details
Highly detailed 360-degree style printing including arm wraps and wraparound leg details; typical of modern boutique custom minifigure creators.
Variants
Various 'Uub' customs exist from creators like Dragon Brick or Phoenix Customs; this specific variant uses a Medium Nougat base rather than Dark Orange.
Condition Notes
Custom UV prints are prone to 'chipping' if played with; the hairpiece (Part 98370) is prone to tip snapping if dropped.
Estimated Value
Used: $15–$30 USD for high-quality customs. Incomplete/Loose: $10 USD. As it is not an official LEGO character, value depends entirely on the brand/creator recognition.
Price (New)
Retail for these custom boutique figures usually ranges from $15.00 to $45.00 depending on the printing complexity.
Compatible Sets
Not applicable; compatible with any Dragon Ball themed MOC (My Own Creation) or modular city displays.
Character Background
Uub (Ubuu) is the human reincarnation of Kid Buu from the Dragon Ball Z and GT series, first appearing in the final chapters of the manga.
Design Notes
Uses standard LEGO anatomy but applies non-LEGO IP textures. The hair mold is a genuine LEGO part often seen in the Ninjago or Nexo Knights lines.
Similar Minifigures
Custom Goku, Custom Vegeta, or the LEGO Series 20 Tournament Knight (for similar hairpiece usage).
Collectibility
Moderate for anime fans; low for purist LEGO collectors who only collect official IP sets.
History
LEGO has never officially licensed the Dragon Ball franchise; therefore, a robust secondary market of custom designers has filled this gap since the mid-2010s.
Interesting Facts
The skin tone 'Medium Nougat' was heavily utilized in the LEGO Star Wars and Friends lines, making it the perfect base for ethnic or sun-tanned character customs.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside a custom Majin Buu figure or inside a transparent acrylic case to prevent the UV print from fading in sunlight.
Modification Potential
The head and hair can be swapped onto a 'Goku gi' (orange) torso to represent his training outfit after the End of Z.
Overall Assessment
This is a well-made custom minifigure representing Uub. While not an official LEGO product, the print alignment on the legs and torso suggests a high-quality boutique print. A great pickup for Dragon Ball fans, but not a financial investment for traditional LEGO collectors.
