We’re nearing the end of our reviews of the new LEGO Editions FIFA sets and the next one we’re checking out is Cristiano Ronaldo – Soccer Legend (43016). This set hs 854 pieces and retails for $79.99.
Build
The build mainly features a brick-built model of Cristiano Ronaldo. The main model I’ll be reviewing is the main one which is in his Siuuu celebration pose.
The first part of the buid is for his torso which is actually two separate parts. The arms are on ball joints and the elbows have some swivel while the fingers are on clips. Ronaldo’s head is also on hinges and there’s only a little bit of movement back and forth. The head does have a printed face as well as his number 7 on the jersey. For the lower torso, it’s funny that LEGO used the modified hood panel for his abs.
The legs are build very similarly, just opposite. The way the hips are built, there’s some shaking of the hips. In addition, there’s just enough bulkiness to them to show his thigh and calf muscles. The feet are on ball joints but they’re just needed to get the slanted angle. There are pins right beneath the slope piece on the shoes to secure the figure.
The base is just a grassy field and there’s a plaque on the front showing Cristiano Ronaldo’s name as well as his signature on a printed tile.
At the back of the base, there’s a large brick-built CR7 that plugs in to the base with some Technic pins.
Results
The LEGO Editions Cristiano Ronaldo – Soccer Legend (43016) is for demographics that are fans of Ronaldo. The model gives a good representation of his Siuuu celebration. The face printing is somewhat questionable but if you squint, you can probably see his face. I do wish that LEGO would’ve included a minifigure of Ronaldo as well.
