The person behind the LEGO® minifigure passed away yesterday. Jens’ idea was introduced in 1978 with the first Space and Castle sets, something he had a hand in too.
Today, the LEGO corporation has manufactured an estimated four billion of these little representations of people which are usually four bricks tall. Exceptions have been made for the numerous licensed properties, children, Friends and monsters.
Thanks for all your dedication and imagination Jens! You’ve contributed to something children from 3-300 can enjoy!
