Minifigs of celebrities

[JopieK]

I found a link to a Dutch/Flemmish page:

http://www.nieuwsblad.be/Article/Detail.as...MF18092008_066#

Maybe it was already posted but didn't see it until now:

Others will be David en Victoria Beckham, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie and Danni Minogue. Figs will not be sold, just for the celebration of 30 years minifigs.

It's a damn shame they're not going to even produce these for sale...

What's the point of them in that case, anyway?

[JopieK]

for us using them as an example for customs.

I think LEGO has made molds for the hairpieces so they might reuse those.

I think they are just drawn in 3D, not made for real, or these are very bad pictures. Anyway, Amy Winhouse looks very cool.

I'm sure they are 3d renderings, but the article hints to real versions doesn't it?!

Yes, but we know how reliable the media is on these things, don't we?

Yups in Holland they ignore McCain and only tell good things about Obama ;) But anyway, I think this is more or less based on a press release from TLG, wouldn't you say?!

[JopieK]

It might be a hoax after all (the papers said it was coming from LEGO however).

Update from Jan Beyer:

Hallo, es ist eine PR Kampagne von LEGO UK und die Figuren sind nur digital gemacht - es war/ist niemals der Plan diese Figuren real zu produzieren.

Translation: So it is a PR campaign from LEGO UK and those figures are only made digitally, it was and is never the plan to produce these figures.

This Italian page states that it's a very limited edition, though not for sale (while that's just unlimited misinformation, reading JB's words).

I read they also made Alan Titchmarsh from BBC garderners world which I would like to see with a big greenhouse.

And Cliff Richard would be also nice in a battlepack with The Young Ones.

[Monkfish44]

Well how could anybody believe LEGO would make these? A crackhead, a singer that dances around half dressed...yeh... :P

She looks WAY better in plastic.

This was on my nightly news yesterday, but I didn't post as I couldn't find pictures. Of course, I had a little hissy fit when the reporters said:

"LEGOS"

and "LEGO people"

Ah yes, this was on the morning news a few days ago here in NZ too. The TV presenters thought they were hilarious,and one wanted to know where he could buy them! Very funny indeed, to bad they're not going into production.

[King Kahuka]

Funny funny.

I wish they'd make Obama and Mccain minifigs. And a debate table set, with built in power functions!

[pr0visorak]

Those minifigs look cool! I wish they could make more of celebrities like the jonas brothers or even oprah.It would be real sweet if they could make a minifig version of phua chu kang(An ah beng show that is done in singapore.)
