The use of different tones of colour came about when LEGO decided that minifigures should look "authentic" to the way they were portrayed, this later expanded into licensed themes such as Star Wars to display correct characterization. Minifigures like Centaur and Cooper have more than two legs and minifigures like Genie and Nadakhan don't have legs.Īccording to, most minifigures are coloured yellow to display equalization in ethnic society. LEGO has made a peg leg that can fit in the leg sockets, seen in minifigures such as Captain Brickbeard and Rizzo. There is also legs called "Medium Legs" which are commonly used for teenagers in the Harry Potter theme. These short legs are most commonly used for children in the City theme. There are long legs like those of the Toy Story character Woody, which can still rotate, and short ones like Yoda's or Dobby's, which cannot rotate. They also attach to normal LEGO bricks in either a sitting or standing position.
The legs can rotate independently beyond 90 degrees forwards and approaching 45 degrees backwards, making a total rotation of 135 degrees. Minifigures such as Vampire Bat and Man-Bat have combined wing/arm pieces.Ĭomparison of Part 41879, Part 970cm00 and Part 970c00 LEGO has made extra pieces that fit in the hand socket, like pirate hooks or boxing gloves. The tops of the hands are also roughly the same size as the studs on LEGO bricks, allowing various LEGO pieces to be placed on top of them. There are hundreds of different accessories, including axes, magic wands, cups, guns, swords, food, documents, etc. The hands of a minifigure are shaped similarly to a "C", which allows them to hold many LEGO accessories, as well as plates and tiles (by their sides), or on the top of the minifigure's hand. Modified torsos also exist, such as ones from the Ninjago theme that are designed to go on top of other torsos to provide additional limbs these include an overlapping piece on the upper torso and can also include shoulder armor.Ī few LEGO arms, such as some of the Minifigures theme, have printings on them. Torsos are often printed with various details reflecting the design of a character, including blank spaces indicating a slimmer body type as on a female character. The torso is fitted with a peg on top to allow for the connection of the head and/or other accessories. Minifigure torsos have a fairly traditional shape, flat across the bottom and narrowing towards the curve of the shoulders. These variations allow minifigures to be highly customizable. Head accessories are varied, including hair, helmets, hats, and hoods. The standard heads (LEGO has made other forms of heads for weird aliens and such) also have a stud on top,which is the same size as studs on LEGO bricks, to which things can be attached. This also allows special items to fit over the torso, such as air tanks, rucksacks, capes or breastplates. Minifigure heads are cylindrical and attach to the peg on top of the torso, which allows the head to rotate. However, some head accessories, such as helmets and mohawks, can make minifigures slightly taller. Each basic minifigure has the same height as four normal stacked bricks. Minifigures typically come packaged as three separate parts in LEGO sets: head, torso/arms/hands, and hips/legs. Extra content is included for sticker graphics and as well as some interesting prototype background information.A basic minifigure is composed of several separate essential LEGO pieces: head, torso, arms, hands, hips, and legs. Models having more than one build variant are clearly illustrated in order to follow the correct build workflow. These instruction books are carefully illustrated and designed to make the building experience clear and concise. The illustrations below shows examples of my instructions and a typical build experience when you have acquired all of the necessary parts to build the model. Also included are electronic part list files in plain text and Excel spreadsheet formats to assist you buying the parts required to build these kits.
For that extra level of detail and realism, these kits also contain custom sticker sheets designed to be printed by you on to self-adhesive sticker sheets available from most office supply stores. These instruction kits are carefully designed to help you build detailed models of real prototypes using standard LEGO® parts. I currently sell my custom LEGO® set instructions on my company website, Fx Bricks.
