First Appearance The first LEGO minifigure was released in 1978 — it had movable arms and legs, and it changed LEGO forever!
Population Power If LEGO minifigures were real people, they'd be the largest population on Earth — there are over 8 billion minifigs worldwide!
Green Minifigs Are Rare Green LEGO minifigures are less common than colors like yellow, black, or red, making them highly collectible in certain themes.
Most Expensive Minifig Some rare minifigures, like the solid gold C-3PO, have sold for thousands of dollars!
Standard Height A standard LEGO minifigure is about 4 cm (1.6 inches) tall. So your “tallest” version is way above average!
Mini But Mighty Minifigures are used in nearly every LEGO theme — from Star Wars and Ninjago to Minecraft and Harry Potter.
Modular Magic Minifigures are made from several interchangeable parts: head, torso, arms, hands, legs — great for customizing!
Printed Smiles The original LEGO minifig face was just two black dots and a smile. Now, faces have expressions, makeup, glasses, and more!
LEGO’s Own “Minifig Factory” There's an actual Minifigure Factory at LEGO HQ in Denmark that prints thousands of custom minifig faces per day.
LEGO Doesn’t Say “Dolls” LEGO is very clear: these are minifigures, not dolls — because they’re all about imagination and story-building!
