Rarity
Common for customs; not a production LEGO item. Its rarity is limited only by the production of the specific custom brand (e.g., Minifigs.me, Lab9, or Chinese knock-off brands).
Head
Light flesh tone with a printed black beard and moustache, stylized eyebrows, and black slicked-back hair piece. This is a non-standard face print design not found in official LEGO catalogs.
Torso
Dark blue soccer jersey featuring yellow number 10, the French Football Federation (FFF) rooster logo, and a Nike swoosh logo. Light flesh arms with blue short-sleeve printing.
Legs
Dark blue shorts with yellow number 10 and FFF logo. Multicolored printing for socks (white and red) and white/black soccer cleats on the feet.
Accessories
None pictured. Typically sold with a soccer ball accessory or a custom baseplate in third-party markets.
Color Scheme
French National Team colors: Navy Blue (Bleu Noir), White, Red, and Metallic Gold/Yellow accents.
Printing Details
Highly detailed UV or Pad printing. Includes intricate logos (Nike, FFF) and wraparound printing on the legs and arms which often exceeds standard LEGO production complexity.
Variants
Numerous versions exist from different custom manufacturers like POGO, WM Blocks, or high-end UV printers, varying in skin tone accuracy and hair piece selection.
Condition Notes
Since this is likely UV printed, the ink can be raised and susceptible to scratching or peeling with heavy play. Check for ink alignment on the hip-to-leg transition.
Estimated Value
$2.00 - $15.00 USD. Value is low as it is not a genuine LEGO product. High-end custom versions can reach $20, while mass-produced knock-offs are under $3.
Price (New)
Usually $1.00 - $5.00 on sites like AliExpress or $15.00 on boutique custom sites. Genuine LEGO does not have a license for the French National Team.
Compatible Sets
None. However, it is designed to fit with LEGO Sports (Soccer) sets or City stadium MOCs.
Character Background
Kylian Mbappé, the star forward for the France National Team and Real Madrid. Known for his speed and being a key player in France's 2018 World Cup win.
Design Notes
The use of the actual Nike and FFF logos indicates this is an unlicensed product, as LEGO strictly follows IP laws and rarely uses real-world apparel brands outside of specific partnerships (e.g., Adidas).
Similar Minifigures
DFB German National Team CMF Series (71014), custom Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo figures.
Collectibility
Low for purist LEGO collectors; high for soccer fans or 'Custom' collectors. It lacks resale value in the official secondary market (BrickLink).
History
LEGO officially produced a German Team series in 2016 but has not produced a French team. Custom makers filled this gap during the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
Interesting Facts
The hair piece used here is frequently the 'Superman' or 'Dracula' style mold. Real LEGO soccer figures from the early 2000s used a spring-loaded base, unlike this static minifigure.
Display Suggestions
Place in a custom soccer stadium MOC or a 2x2 display brick with other world-class players.
Modification Potential
The hair and head can be swapped with official LEGO parts to 'purist-ify' the figure, though the torso/legs will remain custom.
Overall Assessment
This is a third-party custom/knock-off figure. While it features impressive detail and the iconic French kit, it is not a genuine LEGO product and holds no value for serious LEGO investors, but serves as a fun novelty for sports fans.
