If you're a football fan, a collector, or looking for the perfect gift for someone who is — MINIX football figurines are the most complete officially licensed collectible series in the sport. This guide covers everything you need to know: what MINIX is, how the products differ, which players are available, how to display them, and how to buy smart.
What Is MINIX?
MINIX is an officially licensed collectible figurine brand that produces highly detailed miniature figures of the world's top football players. Every MINIX figurine is produced under official license from the relevant clubs, national football federations, and player rights holders — meaning every product is authentic, legal, and traceable to the real player or team it represents.
MINIX is not a toy brand. It's a collectible brand. The figures are designed for display — on shelves, desks, in cabinets, and in fan caves — not for play. The detail level, official licensing, and limited production runs make them genuine collector items.
The Two Main MINIX Formats
12cm Individual Figurines
The flagship MINIX format. Each 12cm figurine is an individually packaged, display-grade collectible featuring a single player in their official kit. These are the most detailed figures in the MINIX range and are priced from $17.99–$19.99 each.
12cm figurines are the right choice when you want a specific player — Cristiano Ronaldo in his Portugal kit, Lionel Messi in Argentina, Kylian Mbappé in France. They're individually boxed, display-ready, and the most giftable format in the range.
7cm National Team 5-Packs
Five players. One box. Maximum value. The 7cm 5-packs feature five players from the same national team in a single officially licensed set. At $37.99–$44.99 per pack, they offer the best per-figure price point in the MINIX range and are the top-selling gift format.
Available for Argentina, France, Germany, Netherlands, Croatia, Portugal, and more — each 5-pack is officially licensed and includes the team's biggest names. The Argentina 5-Pack (Messi, Dibu, Lautaro, Mac Allister, Mastantuono) and Portugal 5-Pack (Ronaldo, Vitinha, Neves, Leão, Nuno Mendes) are the two best-sellers.
The MINIX Collections
World Cup 2026 Collection
The biggest football tournament on the planet — and the biggest MINIX collection to match. The World Cup 2026 range covers the top national teams with both individual 12cm figurines and 7cm 5-packs. Available teams include Portugal, Argentina, France, Germany, Netherlands, Croatia, and Spain.
This is the most in-demand MINIX collection right now. High-demand figures like Ronaldo, Messi, and Mbappé sell through quickly during tournament season. Shop the full World Cup 2026 MINIX collection →
Football Legends Collection
The players who defined the game — now officially licensed in MINIX format. The Football Legends series covers icons across multiple iconic kits:
- Pelé — five iconic kits including Santos, Brazil, and New York Cosmos
- Diego Maradona — five legendary editions including Napoli, Boca Juniors, Argentina, and the Goal of the Century edition
- Alessandro Del Piero — Italy and Juventus kits
- Paolo Rossi — 1982 Italy World Cup kit

The Legends series is the collector's collector choice — figures that appreciate in cultural value over time and represent the history of the game, not just the current moment.

Are MINIX Figurines Officially Licensed?
Yes — and this matters. Every MINIX figurine sold at SportGearPlus is officially licensed by MINIX and the relevant clubs, federations, or player rights holders. This means:
- The player's likeness is used with their permission
- The club or federation has approved the kit design and branding
- The product meets quality standards set by the licensor
- You are buying an authentic collectible, not a replica or knockoff
The counterfeit MINIX market is real. Unlicensed figurines are sold on marketplaces and through grey-market sellers — they look similar but lack official licensing, have lower quality control, and have no resale or collector value. Always buy from an authorised retailer.
How to Display MINIX Figurines
MINIX figurines are designed for display. Here are the most popular setups:
- Shelf display — Line up figurines by team or league on a dedicated shelf. The 12cm format works perfectly on standard bookshelf depth.
- Desk display — A single 12cm figurine of your favourite player makes an ideal desk companion. The base is stable and the figure stands independently.
- Fan cave wall unit — Combine figurines with scarves, programmes, and other memorabilia for a full fan cave display. Group by club or national team.
- Gift box display — The 5-packs come in display-ready packaging. Some collectors keep them boxed for maximum collector value.
MINIX as a Gift — Buying Guide by Budget
- Under $20 — Any individual 12cm figurine. Perfect for a specific player fan. Ronaldo, Messi, Mbappé, Haaland, Salah — all available at $17.99–$19.99.
- $37–$45 — A national team 5-pack. Five players, one box, officially licensed. The Argentina, Portugal, France, or Germany 5-Pack are the top picks.
- $50+ — Mix and match. A 5-pack plus a specific individual figurine. Or two 5-packs for a collector building out their national team shelf.
