About Team GB

Olympic athletes in minifigure form

Instead of the usual mix of professions, monsters and costumes, this series focuses entirely on sport. Each figure represents a discipline in which the British team competed, and each name pairs an adjective with the sport: the Agile Archer, the Brawny Boxer, the Stealth Swimmer, the Tactical Tennis Player. The series was aimed mainly at the British market, which makes it less familiar to collectors elsewhere than the numbered waves released in the same year.

Piece counts across the team

The Flexible Gymnast (8909-6) and the Wondrous Weightlifter (8909-7) have the most parts, with 9 each. The Relay Runner (8909-3), Tactical Tennis Player (8909-5) and Agile Archer (8909-9) come in at 7, and the Brawny Boxer (8909-1), Stealth Swimmer (8909-2) and Judo Fighter (8909-4) at 6. The small differences come down to sports equipment such as a bow, a racket or a barbell. If you build a stadium, a swimming pool or a sports hall, these figures give you ready-made athletes, and the parts lists show you which piece belongs to which competitor.
