LEGO has been building minifig-scale snowmen with varying levels of success for decades. I’ve seen some people speculate in online communities that perhaps LEGO has never seen an actual snowman before (even though it has been snowing in Billund, Denmark this last week!). I certainly won’t go that far, but I will say that some of their designs align with what I would consider to be the ideal of a snowman far more closely than others. This thought process led me to wonder: is there a “best” LEGO snowman? If so, how would I find it? Well, this is BrickNerd, so the answer to me was clear: by spending way too much time looking for and judging every minifig-scale snowman LEGO has yet made. Do You Want to Build a Snowman? (I promised myself I wasn’t going to use that song title in this article and already I failed… sigh.) Let’s...

Nutcrackers and Toy Soldiers are two Christmas icons steeped in holiday tradition. With their distinctive uniforms and classic designs, they have long been a staple of holiday decor in homes around the world—and have each been reimagined in LEGO form several times. Join BrickNerd as we stroll down memory lane to explore the many LEGO interpretations of Nutcrackers and Toy Soldiers. Nutcrackers: The Tall and the Small For those who are unaware, Nutcrackers are traditional wooden carvings, often resembling soldiers or royalty, equipped with a lever-operated mouth to crack nuts. Their association with the holiday season primarily stems from the popularity of the “Nutcracker” ballet, a festive story in which a nutcracker figurine comes to life. In LEGO form, Nutcrackers are a bit more challenging due to the moving function of the mouth. As you will see, most iterations include this play feature while others don’t. Technically the Best Let’s start...
