LEGO Brick Costumes – The Gang’s All Here!

Over the last few years LEGO have served up some fine Minifigure characters, be it in sets, bundled with books & magazines, or via the BaM (build a minifigure). One set of Minifigures stand out more than others and become a whole sub-theme, I’m of course talking about the Brick Costume characters!

They first appeared in CMF (collecting Minifigure) Series 18, a Red Brick Guy and a Blue Brick Girl. These two instantly become popular and loved by most and rightly so, they were different and exciting, a LEGO Brick and Minifigure combined, yes please.

Following the surprise success LEGO issued a Green Brick Guy in CMF Series 20, again everybody rushed out to grab him and add to their slowly growing collection. Since then LEGO have dished out a few new colours via the BaM Stations inside official stores, giving us fans even more colour choice. The BaM is centred on creating your own characters, this makes the newer set of Brick People different as you can essentially place any head and hair on them, their appearance isn’t set in stone so to speak, although there might be a general consensus as to which parts work best.

This is the very nature of LEGO, you don’t need to follow any preset paths, you can mix & match Minifigure parts and create something new and exciting. Below are the characters we choose to go with, including the brand new Orange Brick Person!

That’s right, since the start of the year you can now build a new colour of Brick Person via the BaM Station at your local LEGO Store, increasing the collection of Brick People one brick at a time.

As you can see we went for a Brick Guy as this was how LEGO introduced him via ‘official’ photos, we’re suckers for keeping things ‘official‘ and had to go with the same hair piece and accessory, which happens to be a camera.

As you’d imagine his brick torso is compatible with other LEGO elements, obviously, making them great for attaching to the previous Brick People and including in your MOC (my own creation).

A lot of fans display them like us (image below) all connected in a line and perhaps giving a jolly wave. We’ve also included a photo of the new Orange Brick Guy meeting the other colours. We love setting up and taking these types of candid photos, it’s gives the characters life.

Please head down to the comments section and let us know if you collect these fun LEGO Brick Costumes, also which colour would you like to see next? We’ve mocked up a handful of charand new colours, including Brown, Burgundy, Pink and Yellow. We can’t decide which one we want more, I think I’ll go for…. Burgundy!
