Awesome Minifigs

Making a Giant Chocolate LEGO Minifig

Making a Giant Chocolate LEGO Minifig

We recently checked out a supersized LEGO minifig that a maker created with a 3D printer. Not to be outdone, pastry artist Amaury Guichon has gone even bigger – only his giant minifig is made out of chocolate, making it substantially more edible. Amaury’s 4-foot-tall mini-chef showpiece sits alongside a huge chocolate LEGO brick.

3D Printing a Giant LEGO Minifig

3D Printing a Giant LEGO Minifig

If there’s one thing we know about LEGO minifigures, it’s that they’re mini. It’s right there in the name. Maker Fabien Pohl wanted a bigger minifig, so he supersized the little dude using his Creality K1 Max 3D printer. After printing and sanding all the parts, he spray-painted them to a shiny gloss finish. He also made a dapper banana outfit for his minifig.

LEGO Star Wars Galactic Senate

LEGO Star Wars Galactic Senate

The Galactic Senate scenes in the Star Wars prequels weren’t always the most captivating, but the Senate chamber was an impressive set piece. A team of LEGO builders created this incredible Minifig-scale replica of the chamber. Christoph, Tobias, Hendrik, René, and Markus built the main structure, while attendees of a LEGO conference each made a pod.

Blue vs. Red Minifig Illusion

Blue vs. Red Minifig Illusion

Despite what your eyes are telling you, the blue and red LEGO space explorer minifigs in this image are the exact same size. Mathematician Henry Segerman shows how perspective and a custom 3D-printed structure produce this mind-bending optical illusion.

LEGO Minifig Spin Test

LEGO Minifig Spin Test

LEGO machine builder Dr. Engine wanted to see how fast he could spin a Minifigure, so he rigged up multiple Technic motors and gears with a goal of spinning the little guy at up to 10,000 RPM. If Minifigs could lose their LEGO lunch, this here would do it.

Realistic LEGO Minifigure

Realistic LEGO Minifigure

Ever wonder what a LEGO Minifigure might look like if it was a living, organic creature? Well, wonder no longer. Adam from North of the Border sculpted this character with a dad bod, clamp hands, a flattened scalp and jawline, beady black eyeballs, and the look of perpetual ennui.

Slow-Mo Water Balloon Nukes

If there’s ever another world war, please let it be fought with water balloons instead of weapons of mass destruction. Mr. Jimmy Zou has the right idea, though if you were one of those LEGO minifigs you might be pretty sore after being nailed with so much water. Thanks to Beyond the Brick for the compilation video.

Beyond the Brick shares a noisy, yet hypnotic look inside one of the production lines at LEGO’s Kladno, Czech Republic, as a nearly endless stream of freshly-molded minifig parts roll out of sifting machines to be stamped with graphics to give them their identities. We love the part at the end showcasing all the designs.

The concept design includes interchangeable faces and t-shirts, and articulated hands, arms, and legs. The jumbo size meta-bricks are a nice touch too. Show your support on LEGO Ideas.

Zombie Time

Zombie Time

We’re doubtful that the makers of The LEGO Movie franchise will ever make a zombie movie, but that’s okay, because Paramotion Films has already gone and done it for us, with their extremely well-executed short film that proves that dismemberment doesn’t have to be gory – at least when it comes to minifigs.
