LEGO

The name 'LEGO' is an abbreviation of the two Danish words "leg godt", meaning "play well". The LEGO Group was founded in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen. The Company has passed from father to son and is now owned by Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen, a grandchild of the founder. It has come a long way over the past almost 80 years - from a small carpenter’s workshop to a modern, global enterprise that is now, in terms of sales, the world’s fourth-largest manufacturer of toys.

LEGO Minifigure

A LEGO Minifigure is a small ABS plastic figurine available approximately 4cm tall x 2.5cm wide (1.5” x 1”) as part of the construction toy LEGO. Some are slightly taller like Woody & Hagrid. Some are slightly shorter like Yoda & Stinky Pete.

They were first produced in 1978, and have become hugely successful, with over 3.7 billion produced, and the figure appearing in a variety of media, including movies, books and video games.

Minifigures generally feature six parts (widely referred to as tools in the toy industry): head, torso, hips, arms, hands, and legs; these six parts allow seven points of articulation: swivel head, swivel arms, swivel wrists, and swivel legs. Minifigures are usually packaged as three separate parts in LEGO sets: head, torso and legs. The plastic is acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), a tough material that makes LEGO figures durable.

The plastic is melted into specially designed moulds that produce the different parts of the minifigure. Some of the moulds are also accessories such as weapons (swords, guns, lightsabers, etc.) or everyday accessories (cups, food, and tools Etc.) Heads and torsos always need further decoration, and sometimes the arms and legs do, too. This difficult process is why the figures are more expensive than any other LEGO products. After being painted, the head is placed on the torso, the legs attached, and the arms are snapped on. The figures are finally bagged and readied for sale.

Minifigure heads are cylindrical, and attach to a long, narrow cylinder moulded onto the top of the torso, which allows the head to rotate. This feature also allows items to be attached to the figures over the torso, such as air tanks, capes or breastplates. The heads have a stud on top which is the same size as studs on standard LEGO bricks which could allow one to be placed on it. Head accessories vary widely, and include hair, helmets and hats. The legs rotate independently to 90 degrees forward, and nearly 45 degrees backward. Minifigures also connect to standard LEGO bricks in both a sitting and standing position. The hands of a minifigure resemble the letter C, which allows them to hold many LEGO accessories. There are hundreds of different accessories, including swords, axes, wands, cups, guns, and lightsabers. Additionally, the tops of the hands are approximately the same size as the studs on standard LEGO bricks, which allow LEGO pieces to be placed on top of them. These variations allow Minifigures to be customized, keeping with the modular design of LEGO elements.

The figures are usually found within LEGO sets, although they are also sold separately as key chains and magnets.

At Mix’O’Brix all of our Minifigures are genuine LEGO Minifigures from sets and the key chains with New Tags. None of our Minifigures have magnets or are modified from key chains / magnet or glued. Please be careful of replica machine printed Minifigures sold here on eBay these are not genuine LEGO printed Minifigures. Also check with your seller that your Minifigure comes apart. If they do not they are likely to be modified from magnets

While some are named as specific characters, either licensed from film franchises (such as Star Wars) or of LEGO own creation, many are unnamed and are designed simply to fit within a certain theme (such as police officers, astronauts and pirates).

Minifigures are collected by both children and adults
