The sets are built on letter-shaped bases, featuring colour cues from each player’s national team, jersey numbers and a collectable plaque, plus a LEGO minifigure of the player to bring the moment to life. All of the players reflected on this unique collaboration, with Ronaldo saying, “It’s not every day you get to be transformed into a LEGO set!”.

For fans who want to honour CR7, his set forms a sculptural R-shaped brick base showing Portugal’s colours and Ronaldo’s iconic CR7. Inside the model, fans can find detailed easter eggs tracing Ronaldo’s journey, alongside a Ronaldo LEGO minifigure and a collectable plaque.

Mbappé reflected on how his story is conveyed with the set: “Football has taught me to dream big and to constantly push my limits. This LEGO set tells part of my story, but above all, it captures the energy and creativity that make this sport so special.” Speed, precision and French style come to life with Mbappé set, which is built on an elegant M-shaped brick base with France’s national colours and a standout number 10, representing his jersey number.
