Those collectible little LEGO people called minifigures have taken the world by storm and this book serves as the ultimate reference guide for them all. This book features pleasing full color photography throughout and catalogs more than 160 minifigures in entertaining detail. Each page is dedicated to a different minifigure and is packed with fun and interesting facts about its design, production and unique attributes.
This Encyclopedia was written by Daniel Lipkowitz--the same author who created the colorful, The LEGO Ideas Book-- and the quality shows. Lipkowitz apparently had great access to the minifigure design team as the book kicks off with a short overview of how a minifigure is made, then includes trivia throughout the book that is the stuff of experts. For instance, Lipkowitz shares that the hair on the Shakespeare-like minifigure was created in 1983, then the collar was created by the same designer 29 years later!
Built into the cover of this 208 page book is an exclusive, Toy Soldier Minifigure, offering yet another reason to snap up this book.
Whereas this book reads more like a set of trading cards-- with each page standing alone--the younger set will enjoy the vibrant pictures while adults will enjoy the humor. Serious collectors of all ages, meanwhile, will relish learning the insider details of their growing minifigure collection.
By Ashley Glennon
When I was young, LEGO and, particularly, minifigs didn't exist. In my son's time LEGO wasn't the LEGO it became and minifigs still didn't exist. My grandson, however, has known LEGO and minifig since his earliest moments or at least since he no longer tried to eat them.
So I came late to LEGO and minifigs, but a million years ago I was a filmmaker and when I saw videos on YouTube of what others had done with LEGO minifigs and stop-motion photography, I became a fan. My grandson has moved on, not entirely away, from LEGOs, but his interest is slackening - while mine is increasing. I am researching the possibilities of creating my own custom minifigs and bought this book in hopes of learning mroe about the drawing styles that make LEGO minifigs so appealing and photogenic.
This book with its closeup and well done photography of more than 160 minifigs is a treasure trove. The informative and often amusing text is a bonus.
For the money, regardless of your purpose - research, st7 op-motion photography, collecting, playing or just dreaming - this book is an excellent value. However, as others have pointed out, the binding is very poor. After only three readings, the binding on my copy appears to be ready to separate in two places.My review is based n the quality of the contents, not the binding, but you should be aware that this book will not stand up to even normal handling.
