LEGO Harry Potter Minifigures: Quidditch Teams

LEGO Harry Potter Quidditch Teams
Now Showing

These four Quidditch players will be appearing in set 4743, Quidditch Match. Playing for Gryffindor we have Harry and Oliver Wood. Slytherin is fielding Draco Malfoy and Marcus Flint.

Minifigure Parts and Accessories

Each figure is composed of five parts: hair piece, head, torso, cape, and legs.

The torsos feature sweater designs in the house colors. There are also the house coat of arms on the left-hand side. The overall sweater design is new and has not been featured on a Harry Potter minifigure in the past. The closest part I could find was this.

The legs on all of the figures have white legs and hips without print.

It's difficult to tell what material the capes are made of on each of the figures, or if there will be print on the back. We can tell that the Gryffindor players will have dark red capes, while the Slytherin capes are green and white.

The each of the figures come with a broom (part 4332), brown for the Gryffindor players and black for Slytherin.

Set pictures also show two brown helmets that can be used on these players. These helmets appear to be part 30171.

Army Building Potential

The ABP for these figures is 'moderate', mostly due to the sweater design with the intent to develop entire Quidditch squads.

Big Draw

The sweater design is nice and has potential for custom designs.

According to Brickipedia, the set is expect to retail around $20 USD. A great price for five minifigures plus additional parts!
