Sports / Soccer / Football (Custom)
Year Released
Approx. 2014-2018 (Based on the Portugal kit design and Nike Mercurial/Swoosh details)
Rarity
Uncommon as a custom. While not an official LEGO group product, high-quality Pad Printed customs of specific athletes are produced in limited batches compared to mass-market sets.
Head
Light flesh tone with printed dark eyebrows, determined smirk, and cheek lines mimicking Ronaldo's features. Features a black slicked-back pompadour-style hairpiece.
Torso
Dark Red soccer jersey with horizontal pinstripe detailing. Features the number 7, a Nike Swoosh, and the Portuguese Football Federation (FPF) crest. Light flesh arms with red short-sleeve printing.
Legs
Dark Red shorts with the FPF crest on the right leg and Nike Swoosh plus number 7 on the left. White and black sock-top printing above red boots with additional Swoosh details.
Accessories
None visible in image, though typically sold with a soccer ball or a custom plastic display 'pitch' stand.
Color Scheme
Dark Red (Team Crimson), Light Flesh, and White. Accents include Gold/Green for the crest and White for the Nike branding.
Printing Details
High-quality UV or Pad printing. Includes detailed logos on the chest and both legs, which exceeds standard LEGO detail density for that era. Features 360-degree leg printing for the socks.
Variants
Multiple custom makers (Citizen Brick, Minifigure.com, OYO) have produced versions; this specific one uses a LEGO-compatible body rather than the OYO 'blocky' style.
Condition Notes
Look for print fading on the Nike Swoosh (common with handling). The light flesh arms are prone to stress marks at the shoulder if posed frequently. Minor scuffing on the hairpiece.
Estimated Value
Custom market: $15 - $25 USD used; $30 - $40 USD new in custom packaging. It holds no official LEGO 'Blue Book' value but has niche value for sports fans.
Price (New)
Originally sold via custom shops for approximately $20.00 to $29.99 per figure.
Compatible Sets
None (Official). Compatible with any LEGO City or Sports themed stadium MOCs.
Character Background
Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the greatest footballers of all time, legendary for his time at Manchester United, Real Madrid, and the Portugal National Team.
Design Notes
The designer utilized the 'short sleeve' printing technique on the arms and intricate sock-wrap printing to differentiate it from standard LEGO city figures. The face is a caricaturized version of the athlete.
Similar Minifigures
Official LEGO DFB German Football Team (2016 CMF), custom Lionel Messi, or custom Neymar Jr. figures.
Collectibility
High for soccer enthusiasts and custom collectors; low for LEGO purists. Value depends entirely on the popularity of the player.
History
Follows the trend of 'Custom Minifigure' shops filling the gap left by LEGO's limited sports licenses (mostly restricted to NBA and DFB Team).
Interesting Facts
The kit design mimics the 2014 World Cup / 2016 Euro Portugal home jersey. Note the specific placement of the Nike logo which mirrors professional match-day photography.
Display Suggestions
Place in a dust-proof acrylic case alongside a miniature trophy or inside a LEGO-built stadium (Set 10272 Old Trafford or 10284 Camp Nou).
Modification Potential
Parts can be swapped for a Real Madrid or Al-Nassr custom torso. The head is widely used for other 'celebrity' custom figures.
Overall Assessment
A high-quality boutique custom figure. While not a genuine LEGO-designed character, the printing quality is professional and serves as a centerpiece for a sports-themed collection.
