Lego minifigure
A minifigure is the same height as four bricks
A Lego minifigure, or simply minifig for short, is a cartoonish model of a person in a Lego set. As minifigures are of a standardised scale — four bricks tall, excluding hair and hats[1] — so are the Lego sets that feature them.
They were introduced in 1978, as part of the Legoland standardisation,[2] and have been a prominent fixture of Lego sets ever since.
