Random minifig of the day: frnd0642

ewwwww, friends. JK though, he's fine. Honestly though, I love to see Brickset select the most random figures for this because one; it lives up to its name, and two; I learned about something in LEGO that I didn't already know.

Same.

I like his hair.

It’s the only part of a mini doll I keep. The rest goes in the trash

Quick lore!
Zac, is Aliya's charismatic and talented cousin from France, who effortlessly excels in various pursuits, from martial arts to soccer. While his achievements could easily fuel arrogance, Zac is always trying to share the spotlight, making everyone feel included, and eagerly embracing new experiences in his transition from a sheltered upbringing to the vibrant life in Heartlake City alongside his cousin. He is also one of Leo and Niko's best friends and later joins the same football/Soccer Team

In this case I don't know if the hair deserves any better - to me it looks like an oddly asymmetrical and pretty ill-fitting wig or like he has tried to decorate a helmet to make it look like hair.

So he’s not a Lego Maniac?

Nice minidoll, good looking outfit overall.

I bought a couple of his hair for a Miles Morales fig. It worked ok but it was annoying that the hair is asymmetrical and the front flicks to the side. Irrelevant now that they've done Spiderverse minifigures and made a new hairpiece for Miles.

Fun fact: minidoll heads, minifig baby heads, and Scooby-Doo heads are interchangeable. Happy Halloween!

I can't help but read statements like those as a cry for help. There's no need to be so insecure. You don't have to like Friends and/or minidolls, but you don't need to throw away perfectly good ABS either. Do you not have loved ones you could give the minidolls to? You could gather your minidolls up, put them in a cardboard box, and leave them at a the doorstep of your local orphanage. Not only is it thematically on point, you'll brighten the days of some forlorn children.

Or you could just make a weird flex, I guess."

I mean, even if you don't want to brighten children's days, you could still sell them on the secondary market!

You can also put a Toa Mata head on a minidoll. Unity, Duty, and... Something!

At that point it seems more like putting a minidoll body on a Toa Mata head. Pretty sure it’d be mostly head.

Finally.

The LEGO Maniac.

There's no "finally" about it. This is the third Zac (or Zack) we've had in this feature. The first was another minidoll: https://brickset.com/article/93550/random-minifig-of-the-day-frnd336 (the Friends figures have been renumbered, the doll in question was https://brickset.com/minifigs/frnd0336), and the second was https://brickset.com/article/110283/random-minifig-of-the-day-ww012.

Never liked these Friends minifigs too much, I really like a lot of the sets themselves, the colours, often retro looking cars, fun signs etc. So I do buy a few Friends sets.

That said, I agree with previous comments about how dumb it is to throw these out.
While I don't use these personally, the hair is useful, and for now I just set the minifigs aside.
I'll never throw them out though, maybe I'll donate them to a thrift shop, or sell them for cheap.
