LEGO Minigure template courtesy of Coloring Home. The sky is the limit when it comes to LEGOs, including the Minifigures! I've gone ahead and drawn a few examples, but don't let that hold you back. I used Pixlr, a free online image editing website. You (or your grown-up) can print out this image (just right click it and open in a new tab to print) and grab some crayons, colored pencils, or markers to design your own Minifigure! It can be a superhero, Star Wars character, or you! You can even use an extra sheet of blank paper to make your Minifigure some hair or a hat-or a few!Īnd if you don't have a printer at home, you can download the image instead and color it in Microsoft Paint or a similar software.

And even though I don't own any LEGO sets anymore, I still enjoy them a lot-and I'm sure you do too! So as winter break winds down, whether you own your own LEGOs or not, feel free to take some time to design your own LEGO Minifigure the old fashioned way! See what kinds of fun designs you can come up with yourself.Well, there's probably people out there who don't, but I'm not one of them. I didn’t end up ordering one, but I had fun configuring my own IGN guy. You can configure and order your own LEGO minifigure here. The company hints it will add more customization options in the future, and says it welcomes suggestions from fans.

The resulting minifigures are just like the ones that come in LEGO sets, so they’re 1.5 inches tall. By far the best part about LEGO Minifigure Factory has to be the printed elements.Earlier in the year, the LEGO Group launched a Build a Minifigure service online that let builders use existing bricks to assemble their likeness in LEGO. You can enter text in a variety of fonts and colors, and decorate it with images from a number of categories like sports, animals, accessories, and more. You can select what kind of shirt or outfit you want for your minifigure. Where you have the most creative options is on the torso. The legs and accessory options are also pretty straightforward. There’s not an overwhelming number of options, which makes it pretty easy to view all of the possibilities that might appeal to you. You can pick your figure’s face and haircut or hat. It’s not quite as fully featured as Microsoft’s lab, but it does offer quite a bit of LEGO minifig customization. The Minifigure Factory reminds me of the Xbox Design Lab, where you can customize your own Xbox controller.
