Rarity
N/A (Custom Item) - Rare in the sense of availability limited to specific vendors
Head
Light Flesh skin tone with an angry expression, furrowed eyebrows, and the character's signature thick black mustache and sideburns. It is topped with a large black afro/coiffed hair mold.
Torso
Dark Red/Burgundy martial arts gi open at the chest to reveal a defined, hairy chest print. Features a brown belt with a simple gold buckle and slightly shorter sleeves than standard.
Legs
Dark Red/Burgundy legs with printing on the lower shins to represent white socks and red martial arts shoes with white laces and soles.
Accessories
Light Bluish Gray bar (4L) held in the right hand, representing a pipe or training staff. The character is typically associated with a World Champion belt or a cape, which are absent here.
Color Scheme
A primary palette of Dark Red and Light Flesh, accented by Black hair and Brown/Gold belt details.
Printing Details
Pad-printed on official or compatible ABS parts. Features front-side torso detailing for chest definition and leg printing to denote the footwear transition. Lacks back or arm printing commonly seen in high-end customs.
Variants
Standard custom version; other variants by high-end makers like 'Engineio' or 'Citizen Brick' may feature 360-degree printing and more detailed hair molds.
Condition Notes
Possible minor scuffing on the torso; custom prints can sometimes be more prone to 'chipping' than official LEGO ink if not treated with a top coat. Joints appear to have standard clutch power.
Estimated Value
$10.00 - $25.00 USD for typical custom figures sold on eBay or specialized webstores; resale value for unbranded customs is generally low.
Price (New)
$15.00 - $30.00 USD (Estimated retail from custom vendors)
Compatible Sets
None. This character has never been officially produced by LEGO. It is designed to fit in 'MOC' (My Own Creation) Dragon Ball Z dioramas.
Character Background
Mr. Satan (known as Hercule in the west) is the world martial arts champion in the Dragon Ball series. While often comedic relief and vastly weaker than the Z-fighters, he is a beloved character known for taking credit for saving the world.
Design Notes
The design utilizes 'flesh' printing over a red base, which is a difficult technique to ensure color opacity. The hair mold is likely a customized or third-party piece designed specifically for this character's silhouette.
Similar Minifigures
Custom versions of Goku, Vegeta, or Master Roshi; officially, the 'Discosauce' hair pieces or Disco Batman hair share some similarities with the afro mold.
Collectibility
High interest for Dragon Ball fans but low investment value for LEGO purists. Value is entirely dependent on the reputation of the custom house that printed it.
History
LEGO has never held the Dragon Ball license. As a result, a massive 'gray market' of custom pad-printed figures has emerged over the last decade to fill the void for collectors.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a custom, this figure captures the 'Akira Toriyama' art style, particularly in the eye and mustache design, very accurately compared to other fan-made versions.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Dragon Ball Z custom figures on a clear acrylic stand. To represent his fame, place him in a City-themed stadium or press conference scene.
Modification Potential
Excellent. Parts can be swapped with official LEGO City or Star Wars flesh-toned figures. The hair is highly sought after for '70s-themed customs.
Overall Assessment
A well-executed custom minifigure of a popular anime character. While not an official LEGO product, the print quality and specific character molds make it a standout 'purist-style' 3rd party creation.
