LEGO The Art of the Minifigure

By Brian Barrett

A beautiful visual celebration of the iconic LEGO® minifigure – its history, evolution, and status as a cultural icon.

The LEGO® minifigure is one of the most recognisable and collectible toys on the planet. Over the span of 40 years it has evolved from a simple yellow figurine to a global pop culture icon. This landmark volume celebrates the colourful history, evolving design, and lasting impact of the one and only LEGO minifigure. Driven by compelling interviews and essays, lush photography, infographics, and never-before-seen visuals from inside the LEGO archives and beyond, this book is a wide-reaching visual exploration of why the minifigure matters – as a beloved toy and as a singular cultural icon.
