LEGO Kiddiefigures: Star Wars Edition
May the Fourth be with you. And no, I have not suddenly developed a lisp... It's Star Wars Day!
Honestly though, for me, every day is Star Wars Day.
In the past 15 years, LEGO has had many licensed themes, including Star Wars. But before the company acquired those licenses, we had to make our own versions of those themes with our own LEGO collections. I think it takes a lot of creativity and imagination not to have special pieces that are made specifically for these characters. I came up with an idea a few months ago for a special approach to building LEGO minifigures where you only use pieces that existed before LEGO released the official theme, which in my case, for the most part is actually how I made these characters into minifigures when I was a kid. I call them Kiddiefigures. I like the idea of capturing the classic LEGO aesthetic by incorporating kind of outdated pieces, such as the classic smiley face.
So here are my Star Wars LEGO Kiddiefigures, Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader.
