Random minifig of the day: rac100

If not for seeing the figure before I saw the set name, I would have expected Star Strike to be a Space set, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Drowsy drivers should pull over.

Wow, so. That's a thing.

Same here. If I ever get any of mine out of storage, I might well plunk some Star Wars heads on those bodie and put them in some Microfighters.

Heh...he 'reaction' mirrors mine seeing him...

Also, people are writing that he look drowsy or hypnotized...I think he looks: surprised, scared, over-caffeinated...or maybe all-of-the-above.:)

Another one that stretches the definition of the minifig

When they say “keep your eyes on the prize” is this what they mean? Or is this what happens to you?

BTW: I am an anesthesiologist and I never saw someone with this facial expression.

At least it has a traditional minifigure head and headgear.

4575 2001 says hold my beer

Did Lego intend their expression to look like they're having PTSD flashbacks?

He has seen some stuff

"Incredible design. Need more of this energy in modern figs, just pure menace."

Theres another fig like this from 2002 that has a bloody cast printed on their head.

Drugs are for mugs.

What are the definitions for a (couple of parts) to be considered a Minifig? Are the helmets of the collectible F1-cars Minifigs?

US government: "Say no to drugs!"

Star Strike:

"The sun has gone down and the moon has come up
And long ago somebody left with the cup
But he's driving and striving and hugging the turns
And thinking of someone for whom he still burns"

I didn't know that kind of "minifig" existed. Very surprised. I had to read the title RMoTD to be sure that it was it. Now that I have seen the set it came in, I got it. Not a very versatile one I guess.

The cake is a lie!

I thought the top line was his mustache, but now I see it is his mouth, and the bottom line his chin(?)

Frog

Oh hey, had this guy! I remember he and his buddy https://brickset.com/minifigs/rac098 's sets, like 1239 Subzero of the year before, being part of a promotion in Tesco where you could get them free (or maybe just cheap? It's been a while, the specifics elude me...) when you bought a certain amount of Walls Ice Cream products.

As never the kind of kid to say no to free Lego, I definitely convinced my Mum that the promotion was worth going for...!

They were the only Drome Racers sets I owned; and, as others have observed, that theme's facial designs were definitely rather "out there" when they weren't reuses from other themes. Still, these two seem almost normal when compared my favourite example of bizarre Drome Racers faces: https://brickset.com/minifigs/rac103!

I know you're not supposed to explain the joke because it makes it not funny anymore so I'll just answer this cryptically:

Racer.

Gymnast. Pianist. Lyricist.
