These magical minifigs have us under their spell [Minifig Monday]
On Minifig Mondays, we take a break from brick-intensive builds to appreciate the creativity found in the minifig scene. We prioritize characters made with official LEGO elements where the combination of accessories and expressions creates a personality that entrances the viewer. On that note, this week’s theme is magic using minifigs, and this set of characters has us spellbound!
Captain Dark Shark creates a wandering feline sorceress that surely has nine lifetimes of adventures to share. Even though the head draws from the Wizarding World (a polyjuice-ified Hermione), this fig gives big anime or cozy game vibes.
ASortaOkayBuilder also brings a Potterverse cat to the table for this apprentice illusionist. The poor wizard strains under the load of too much study material!
Thorgrihm‘s wizard brings serious intensity with his orange face and that muscle-man mustache. The builder draws on many fun purple elements from recent years, paired with a classy golden staff.
Red Impala is himself a wizard at making characters with all official parts that seem like they must be custom made. For this cultist, the builder påairs a Stuntz helmet with an inverted visor. The shield is from the Egyptian Warrior, flipped upside down. Don’t cross this fellow.
Brickbot Studios bursts into the mix with this sporetastic Myconid mage. The D&D critter head now tops a Harpy torso. I love the staff and mix of shrooms growing from the mage’s backside.
Jacob Manahan presents a pair of aging druids walking through the woods while a forest sprite looks on. The buider is fond of using those Jawa eyes for magical beings, even for his sigfig.
Jacob also takes advantage of late witner snow for this chilling Queen of Winter sorceress. The Mummy Queen‘s headdress in reverse is such an eerie and unexpected use of that element.
Falcon Figs brings a dose of fun to this all-too serious alchemist thanks to just the right face. That’s quite a collection of jars and flasks too!
Rounding out our magical minifig tour, we present this squid-faced hydromancer from 2p_figs. The Quarren head looks great on a fantasy body, and that staff is perfect. Perhaps most impressive is the technique for summoning the water warrior.
We hope this roundup of spellcasters leaves you feeling inspired. Let us know in the comments if there are other minifig builders you’d like to see us cover and what themes we should explore in the weeks to come!
