The diminutive minifigure – also known as the minifig – is a ubiquitous plastic anthropomorphic caricature of the human body that measures around 1.5 inches/4 cm (or four bricks) tall and sets the scale for the popular System subtheme of LEGO sets.
Conceived in 1975, the first minifigure was a simple yellow-skinned mannequin that bears no resemblence to its modern counterpart which arrived in 1978. The initial Star Wars characters had yellow skin tones until 2003 when the first minifigure with an accurate skin tone was released.
