Lego has been making the modern version of their minifigures since the late 70s. These figures act as play pieces to use with Lego building-block sets. They can interact with the buildings, vehicles and environments built by a child. They’re basically like any other action figure meant to be used with a playset.
The main difference with Lego minifigures is that they are made up of 9 to 10 pieces. These pieces can connect to standard Lego bricks. They can also be swapped around with other figures to make your own custom characters. These Lego figures stand approximately 1.5-inches tall.
Over the years, LEGO has acquired a lot of licensing rights to make sets based on famous movie, cartoon and comic-book properties. The sheer variety of minifigures produced makes them fun to collect and display. One of the neat things about collecting Lego minifigures is that they cover multiple franchises in the same style and scale.
One of LEGO’s most popular franchises is the vast Star Wars universe. Lego has made vehicles, playsets and minifigures based on every Star Wars movie and most of the animated series. Here are 20 of the best Lego Star Wars minifigures available to date.
