Ever wonder what would be inside of a living Lego mini figure? The artwork by Jason Freeny takes a whimsical look at the possibilities with his dissected views of a Lego dude.
Who knew that the plastic facade hid fingers and toes - must be some kind of evolutionistic protection scheme, considering all the little mouths these things end up being exposed to, not to mention the impossible situations they face every day in the line of play duty. And at last, this explains how the little guys can escape from the play scene and turn up months later - they are alive! No doubt the Lego figure waits in state until all heads are turned, then they sprint off, under the nearest couch or table.
It also explains how they seem to multiply - the chart clearly shows a reproductive capacity. I don't want to go into any details here, but at least it is good to know that it was not just my imagination that new figures keep showing up. While studying this, I notice that the chart also shows another detail that could be disturbing - a digestive system. The little guys apparently eat, and if you get enough of them together, the cat could be in trouble. Have you seen fluffy lately?
A bit about Lego Minifigures
When first released in 1974, Lego minifigures were at the same scale as the current minifigures. However, these figures differed in tooling and articulation: they had solid torsos without separate movable arms, solid lower body pieces that were not moveable, and heads without printed features. The first modern minifigures were released in 1978, with seven different figures in Castle, Space, and Town themes.
By 2003, Lego had reportedly produced 3.7 billion minifigures.
