Have you ever looked at those classic yellow LEGO Minifigures and thought they don’t quite capture your essence? Well, your worries are over, thanks to advancements in 3D printing technology. An innovative Etsy shop has launched a service that allows you to get a 3D-printed replica of your head, which can be attached to a LEGO body, bringing your Minifigure fantasies to life.
The shop, known as Custom3DMinifigures, is run by the talented Alex Thompson, who offers this unique service for just $30. To create your personalized head, Alex requests two photos: one of your face and one from the side. Once you upload these images, they’re transformed into a vibrant, full-color 3D model, resulting in a remarkable (and slightly uncanny) 15mm LEGO head piece.
These custom heads are made from a durable sandstone material, ensuring they are both colorful and long-lasting. They’re reasonably priced, making it easy for you to 3D print heads for your entire family. Alternatively, you could send a couple of these quirky heads as a humorous surprise to your best mom friends. You can even order a custom cake topper for a wedding that is sure to be a conversation starter!
Production of the heads can take up to four weeks, and you have the freedom to choose your hair color and style. While the Minifigure bodies are not included, each head is designed to fit perfectly onto the LEGO bodies you already own—whether they’re from your collection or your kid’s.
LEGO bricks have an undeniable charm that appeals to all ages. Children adore playing with them, while adult collectors find joy in building intricate sets alongside their kids. Interestingly, it has been reported that LEGO sets can even yield a better return on investment than gold—seriously! These 3D printed heads are just another fun reason to love LEGOs.
While there are various platforms where you can customize traditional Minifigures, these 3D models are far more lifelike and make excellent gifts. They offer a personal touch that kids will appreciate, showcasing how traditional toys can be reinvented in exciting ways.
