Viktor Krum, Shark Head, Red Legs

This Viktor Krum minifigure, specifically the 'Shark Head' variant, is highly desirable for collectors of Harry Potter LEGO. The unique shark head piece immediately sets it apart from other versions of the character, representing his transformation during the Triwizard Tournament's second task. For fans of the books and movies, this is a memorable and visually striking moment.

The minifigure's detailed torso print, featuring his shirt and the distinctive bear print, adds to its appeal. Condition is always a key factor for collectors; a minifigure with pristine printing and no scratches will command a higher price.

This minifigure appears in only one set, the Triwizard Tournament: The Black Lake (76420-1), which was released in 2023. While not a limited edition in the traditional sense, its single set appearance contributes to its relative scarcity on the aftermarket compared to minifigures appearing in multiple sets. The set is now retired, further limiting the availability of this minifigure.

Given its single set appearance, unique shark head mold, and the enduring popularity of the Harry Potter theme, this Viktor Krum minifigure has good investment potential. The retirement of the set containing it should lead to gradual appreciation in value, especially for figures in excellent condition. Comparable minifigures with unique molds from the Harry Potter theme have seen significant price increases over time. Keeping an eye on aftermarket trends and demand will be crucial.
