Benedikt Howedes (CMF)

The Benedikt Howedes minifigure is a must-have for LEGO soccer (football) fans and collectors of the German national team minifigures. It represents a specific player from a specific tournament, adding a layer of real-world collectibility that appeals to sports enthusiasts.

This minifigure features unique printed elements, including the German Football Association (DFB) logo with four stars, representing their World Cup titles, and Howedes' name and number on the back. The detailed printing and accurate hairpiece contribute to the figure's desirability.

This minifigure appeared exclusively in the LEGO Minifigures - German Football Team series, released in 2016. As a blind-bagged collectible minifigure series, acquiring specific figures like Benedikt Howedes required either luck, trading, or purchasing from the secondary market. This limited release contributes to its relative scarcity compared to minifigures found in standard LEGO sets.

The German Football Team series was available worldwide, but its limited production run and the nature of blind-bag distribution mean that complete sets and individual sought-after figures like Howedes command a premium on the aftermarket.
