Description

A footballer as a display build

Black and white form the model's core structure, with green and bright light blue used for kit colours and background detail. Without a minifigure, the set instead relies on a larger, more detailed build to pick out individual features more clearly than a small figure could. At 958 pieces, it sits in the mid-range for sets of this kind, leaving enough room for detail in the pose and expression. For football fans, the result is a model that goes well beyond a simple miniature figure. The larger build also allows characteristic details of the pose to come through clearly rather than only being hinted at.

310 parts for a detailed build

With 310 unique parts, this is one of the more part-diverse sets in this range relative to its total piece count. The parts list on this page shows every element with its colour, useful for a build with this much variety when you are looking for something specific. Capturing a sportsperson's pose and movement in particular calls for many differently shaped pieces to suggest dynamism rather than a stiff, static stance. The parts list also shows where especially many small elements were used for details such as the face or kit folds.

The Editions range for sports fans

The Editions range focuses specifically on well-known figures from sport and other fields, building them as standalone display models rather than conventional themed sets. That sets these builds apart from vehicles or buildings, since a single person sits at the centre of the design. For collectors who already own other Editions sets, this model adds another familiar face from football to the range. Across the range as a whole, that covers a range of sports and personalities rather than sticking to just one area.

For football fans and collectors

With no minifigures, this set is clearly built as a display piece aimed at football fans and collectors of the Editions range. At just under 1,000 pieces, it offers a demanding build that works well as a gift for anyone into the sport, regardless of whether they build sets regularly themselves. The finished model also works well as a conversation piece in an office or living room.
