Mats Hummels (CMF)

The Mats Hummels minifigure is highly desirable for LEGO collectors, particularly those interested in sports figures and German national team memorabilia. As a representation of a famous footballer, it appeals to a niche audience beyond typical LEGO fans. The official DFB (German Football Association) licensing adds to its authenticity and collectibility.

The minifigure's unique printing, including the Adidas and DFB logos, along with Hummels' name and number, make it stand out. Collectors also value minifigures in excellent condition, with minimal wear on the printing and accessories.

This minifigure appeared in only one set, the LEGO Minifigures - German Football Team series (71014), released in 2016. This single appearance contributes to its relative scarcity on the aftermarket compared to minifigures found in multiple sets. The blind-bag nature of the CMF series also increases the challenge of acquiring this specific figure, as buyers don't know which minifigure they are getting. As a result, its rarity is moderate, making it a sought-after piece for collectors.

The Mats Hummels minifigure holds moderate investment potential. Its value is influenced by the popularity of both LEGO minifigures and football memorabilia. The single set appearance and retirement of the set suggest a potential for gradual appreciation, especially as the minifigure becomes harder to find in sealed condition. Comparable sports-themed minifigures from licensed sets have shown reasonable value increases over time, indicating a similar trajectory for Hummels.
