I Custom-Ordered Myself as a LEGO

Sep 1

Posted by

LEGO is trying out a new thing called the Minifigure Factory, where you can custom-design and buy your own LEGO mini-figures. It’s only in the Beta right now, and I don’t think it’s open to everybody. I got an invite in a recent LEGO newsletter and for sure I was going to try it out! They only had some limited design options, but I managed to make a pretty good version of myself.

I definitely don’t have that kind of volume in my hair anymore

They got the design of the shirts I wear, including a little graphic to add a pocket, pen and ink splotch. They got the beard and glasses. They don’t let you pick the color or design of the arms, which is a shame. But perhaps things will get better when it opens for real. For now, I’ve got a LEGO me, and he’s pretty neat. Is adorning my office desk for the time being, because if I take him home, I’m probably gonna dress him up like a Ghostbuster or put him in a mech or something.

At the very least, I definitely recommend LEGO’s Minifigure Factory for a good time.

    I’m intrigued by the Minifigure Factory, especially the limited design options, like not being able to pick the color or design of the arms. I’ve had similar experiences with other custom LEGO projects, where the constraints actually sparked more creativity, and I’m curious to see how this beta phase evolves. The idea of creating a personalized mini-figure, like the author’s LEGO version of themselves, is a great way to get started with the Minifigure Factory.
