About DFB Minifigures

Real players, not invented characters

Most collectible minifigure series feature fictional characters or figures from films. This one, filed under the Collectible Minifigures theme, instead depicts real footballers from the German squad of 2016, along with head coach Joachim Löw (71014-1). Each player's set name includes his shirt number: Manuel Neuer (1) (71014-2), Shkodran Mustafi (2) (71014-6), Benedikt Höwedes (4) (71014-5), Mats Hummels (5) (71014-4), Bastian Schweinsteiger (7) (71014-7), Mesut Özil (8) (71014-8) and Jérôme Boateng (17) (71014-3) are among them. That focus on real people makes the series stand out from the numbered waves released in the same year.

Same build, different details

Every one of the largest entries has exactly 6 pieces, so the figures share a common construction and differ mainly in printing, hair and number. For football fans the appeal is lining up a full team; for minifigure collectors the series is a distinctive, single-year set with a clear end point. The parts list on each page helps confirm that a loose figure is complete before you add it to your collection.
