Have always been wanting to get an official Lego NBA minifigure, decided to put in a few bids for this one.

Just looking at the photo, I assumed it is official, and not a basketball fan but do know of Bryant, so assumed he's no.34 on the Lakers team. Decided to do a bit of research today before bidding ends - I now believe the photo does not show Kobe, it shows Shaquille O'Neal's torso, and the head maybe belongs to Tony Parker - can anyone confirm or advise otherwise? Much appreciated.

That looks like the shaq figure but the face looks the same - seller maybe has wrong torso on it? Kobe is #8 like this one: http://bit.ly/1blGymb.

You are spot on. This is a mixture

Seems like you summed it up well with the head and torso mismatch.

 

Hope this helped!

Thanks all, you guys are great - faster than light response!

It is actually a fraudulent listing. That being said if people haven't been bothered to research what Kobe's jersey number was at the time....

Yeah, I know - live and learn. Have contacted the seller to request that my bid be cancelled - I suppose if I were to buy one, might as well get a proper official one.

Someone else has now put in a higher bid, about 30-40 seconds after I messaged the seller.......hmmmm.....I think I'll just leave it at that and walk away. Thanks again all for the heads up.

I was about to say - Kobe is not #34.
