LEGO Stores' Build-A-Minifigure - Ideas for New Prints and Recolors

Recommended Posts

Up until recently, LEGO Brand Stores' Build-A-Minifigure stations have only offered preexisting minifigure parts and prints from previously-released sets. In the past year though, they've become a great source for all-new recolors and prints, seemingly exclusive to LEGO Brand Stores. With newly-issued exclusive parts being discovered nearly on a monthly basis now, I thought I'd be fun to share our ideas and wishlists for such.

So, what exclusive recolors and prints would you hope to see from LEGO's Build-A-Minifigure stations? :classic:

Hmm...the Harley Quinn hair from the LEGO movie version in a single regular hair color would be cool, I love that part. As far as torso prints, it would be fun to see prints of licenses they have, like a “9 3/4” maroon torso for HP.

Here's what I can think of at the moment --

Light aqua surgical cap

Faun Legs

and also the faun headpiece with horns. :)

Hobbit hair in black and blond.

In general, hair pieces in new colors. They've done some of this already and I greatly appreciate it.

Medium legs, as @Robert8 suggests.

Mermaid tails in a wider array of colors.

Top hat in metallic gold or pearl gold.

Like @Robert8 and @Karalora, I'd definitely love to see medium legs. 

Also, recolored animals such as  : 
- Reddish brown, black and light bley bunnies,
- Reddish bown, black and medium nougat chickens,
- Reddish brown chihuahua,
- Dark bley and white rats,
- Light bley and white mouses,
- Medium nougat and dark red small birds,
- Black seagull (as a crow).

And Padmé's long braided hair in medium nougat and/or dark orange.

If there was one particular type of torso design I'd hope to see made available as a Build-A-Minifigure exclusive, it'd be a Rocketeer-inspired, bibbed, double-breasted leather jacket.

Be it in Black, Reddish Brown, Dark Brown, Earth Blue, or Dark Red, it does seem to be the quintessential outerwear style for your archetypical Pulp Era hero... :smug:

Torso prints I would like for my own completely selfish purposes (Note--with a couple exceptions, these are vanishingly unlikely to happen):

  • Black polo shirt (short sleeves!) with black/blue striped necktie
  • Medium azure polo shirt with gray cardigan knotted around shoulders
  • White dress military jacket with gold braid and red sash
  • Black hoodie with purple patches and noticeable white stitching on seams
  • Dark brown collared tunic with frog closures and piping-style trim, both in yellow
  • Black dress military jacket with silver braid and lime-green sash
  • Black leather jacket over plain white tee shirt
  • Tan sport coat with pink necktie

(If these sound familiar to anyone...yes, I am that weird.)

Light blue and dark red little birds (European Blue-tit and Robbin etc), as listed already ;)

Recolours of the new scarf in a less cartoony spectrum

Gandalf beard in white

The new Dumbledore hair in white 

The One Ring in silver 

Frog recolours such as yellow, red etc

Dark grey French Bulldog 

A return of the PotC conch-shell helmet, maybe a white variety

Dwarf beards 

Gimli’s helmet in grey metallic, unprinted

I've built up a good sized detachment of "Prussians" using the double button row torso from the Winter something Firefighter.
Using the Bobby CMF torso for an Officer at the moment.

Just outta curiosity, what are those supposed to be inspired after? :shrug_oh_well:

A double-breasted overwear design would also be fitting for early aviator suits like these... :wink:

I'm a big fan of the YouTuber Thomas Sanders (he actually got famous on Vine; you might remember him as the "Storytime!" guy) and those designs reflect the costumes of the characters he plays in his videos.

Just a few ideas here for some unprinted dual-molded legs (standard height) that I'd like to see... 

  • Black with Dark Green (i.e. "Classic" Green) boots (for Green Lantern Corps, of course).
  • Light Bluish Grey with Black boots (hip piece in LGB, not Black).
  • Olive Green with either Reddish Brown or Dark Brown boots.
  • Light Bluish Grey or Dark Bluish Grey with Earth Blue boots.
  • Tan (i.e. Brick Yellow) with either Reddish Brown or Dark Brown boots.

Yeah, it's a very niche interest, but the less outlandish concepts (the polo shirts and modern jackets) have a chance of seeing daylight at least.

I want a ducking Corgi already! Or to be precise a Cardigan Corgi because that's what we have. But I'd settle for a Pembroke or Welsh.
For the same reason … a Weimaraner! I need brick simulacra of my fuzzbutts so we can have brick adventures together too.

We need some kind of large floppy-eared dog, for sure. I don't know about the rest of you but I have to give TLG the side-eye for trying to pass off a perky-eared dog as a "Dalmatian" in some recent sets.

Some re-release of the Monkey would be nice either via Xtra (standard reddish brown) or BAM (different colors)

Monkey hasn't been seen since 2011 in regular color, or 2016 in Ninjago Sky Pirates, and there are so many more suitable colors now.
