Issue 124 of the monthly LEGO magazine continues to explore how the minifigure was created back in the 1970s, revealing how the various prototype models led to the design team coming up with the proportions for the static stage extra character, which were then carried over into the articulated minifigures fans know and love.
The most talented fans in the world have their models on display in LEGO House’s Masterpiece Gallery. Take a guided tour through the amazing builds that are currently on display in the Home of the Brick, with comments from some of the talented creatives behind them.
LEGO House Managing Director Kathrine Kirk Muff also stops by to build a LEGO set and have a chat. She shares stories from her fascinating career, including the earliest conversations about LEGO House, creating the global employee Play Day and launching Build to Give, the initiative that gets sets to children in need of play. Of course, Kathrine also provides a few hints about what’s coming next in the heart of Billund.
