LEGO Lionel Messi Soccer Legend buildable figure - 958-piece display set with plaque (white/blue kit)

This LEGO Editions Lionel Messi – Soccer Legend (43015) set gives fans and builders aged 12+ a creative, hands-on way to celebrate one of football’s greatest players. The 958-piece model recreates Messi in either his iconic victory pose or a dynamic running dribble, and includes a specially co-molded face piece, a new soccer ball element and a printed name plaque for shelf-ready display. Instructions are provided in print and digitally through the LEGO Builder app, so builders can zoom, rotate and track progress in 3D as they assemble every detail.

What does the set include and how authentic is the likeness?

The set includes 958 pieces, a newly designed co-molded face element, a co-molded soccer ball and printed parts that spell MESSI, plus a large number 10 and a printed plaque. The sculpted kit captures signature gestures and kit details that make the model instantly recognizable to fans.

• 958 total pieces for detailed construction
• New co-molded face and soccer ball for realistic features
• Printed ‘MESSI’ lettering, number 10 and name plaque included
• Two build options: victory pose and running/dribbling pose

How do the two build options work and which pose is best for display?

The model can be assembled in either of two configurations: Messi pointing to the sky in his victory celebration or posed mid-run with a ball at his feet. Both builds share core components but swap position-specific elements so the model looks natural in either stance. Choose the victory pose for dramatic shelf presence or the running pose to suggest motion.

• Modular construction lets you rebuild between poses
• Pose-specific components ensure stable display in both stances
• Dimensions: approx. 27 cm high, 21 cm wide, 14 cm deep in victory pose
• Stands solidly on desks, shelves or bedside tables
