Once again it's time for me to delve into a blind packaged item and show you just what you'd be getting yourself into if you were to buy these things. This week I'm taking a look at Sports Stars Football (soccer, not American football). This is a series by Character Building, and they usually do reasonable quality figures and playsets in a Lego (but no Lego honest!) style. Let's take a look at the package.
As you can see, various footballing types there, this is series 1 and there are in fact 12 of these to collect! How exciting! I don't really have a preference this time so let's just open her up and see who we get.
Meet Van Der Vaart (at least that's what his shirt says, I don't actually watch much football at all so I wouldn't know)! Bears a striking resemblance to a certain other well-known brand which I may or may not have already mentioned above (wink wink).
The figure is nicely put together though the plastic does feel a little on the cheap side, but not like it's going to break easily. I can confirm that the holes in the feet are perfect for fitting onto the pegs on standard Lego bricks so the figures should be fully compatible. Obviously the aesthetic of the figure is quite nice depending on if you're a football fan or not. It's not my cup of tea but I can see kids who're massive football fans loving these things so I'll give them a good thumbs up. Nice work, character building.
