Random minifig of the day: belvmale17

oh
oh no

It's hideous. Throw him into the fire.

That is horrifying.

Must…resist…making joke…about…the Hoopty…

Fresh Prince of Bel-Ville needed some air.

This is the result of us using a monkey's paw to wish for the RMotD date range to be expanded.

*Screams of absolute horror intensify*

oh!

Ken, you're not a Lego minifigure.

I can't believe that Huwbot would put that image on the home page uncencored!

Minifig of the day indeed

The lifejacket he wears wouldn't help much.

How long until we get 'My Dad'

"Our members collectively own a total of 125 of them."

That's 125 too many of these in existence.

I don't know if this would be creepier with the figure actually wearing clothes, or not.

I’m calling the cops

Is he related to My Dad?

I'm reporting huw to the lego city police for putting this up un-censored in front of kids!

121 Brickset members openly admit to owning this creepy kid.

Least uncanny human design in a Meta Quest game:

Ah, so four people have denied it since @haldir counted 125! Understandable

If you put this in the same room as My Dad, I will call the cops.

In Europe it's called "My Illegitimate Half Brother"

Interesting, I take photos of my used sets to post for sale using the same technique of a grey plate floor and one upright.

Not that I would ever think to photograph this.

And people debate whether or not Classic Space droids are minifigures!

Darn. Not only am I late to the show, I'm going to need extra popcorn.

"Infinitely better than mini-dolls!"

To quote the wise sages of kingdoms now long lost to time:

"You are entitled to your opinion. Even when it's wrong."

I shall alert the Grand Archives, so that they may add a record of it to their Hall of Evidence That Opinions Can Be Wrong.

I know what you're thinking, and yes, the Archive did need more than one plaque to display the Hall's full name.

"okay, now Huwbot's just trolling us."

HuwbotGPT has apparently grown sentient and is trying out its sense of humor, and taste.

He definitely has His Eyes

"TLG wanted to call it My Boy, after My Dad, but they realized it would be a really bad name."

Yeah, they also considering releasing My Girl, but then realized it wasn't worth the temptations...

Yes, he keeps them in a case on the bookshelf.

Nick Bluetooth, 'bout age 7...no:)

A CMF series of figures like this would certainly stop people ripping the boxes open.

Does not exist, because ABS doesn’t melt. It has a glass-transition temperature, above which it ceases being a true solid and takes on a consistency more like chewing gum. Increase the temperature enough from there, and it will simply combust.

Now that’s an Auton.

that would depend entirely on whether or not it predates Christianity. if no, then go ahead. if yes, then i would recommend silver bullets, basil, garlic, precisely 375 grams of tungsten carbide, pig blood, 9 ounces of wormwood, and tater tots."

Mount Doom??

He looks to me like he's a distant relation of the Technic fig.

And joke about this figure as much as you like, but in terms of articulation he beats both the minidoll (naturally) and the minifig.

And it would have been Madness.

"Nuke the site from orbit; it's the only way to be sure."

Dude. Please. Put some clothes on.

I mean, it's not *so* bad; the Belville figures at least have underwear printed on them. Just wait until the inevitable day when an unclothed Scala doll shows up as Random 'Minifigure'...

Seriously though, I personally am okay with the Belville figures (the children at least; the adult ones are more unnerving to me). With their extensive articulation, as AustinPowers mentioned, I could see them being a good base for creating custom action figures; just need some paint and whatever material you'd use to sculpt some modifications to the design (including clothes, naturally). It's something I'd be pretty interested in trying myself, in fact, given the opportunity.

And people say Bionicle isn't Lego.

1998…is this the time that Lego was almost dead as a company? Because it would make a lot of sense.

They should add one of these to every CMF series simply to stop people ripping the boxes until they got home.
