LEGO Project Hair Revealed from Archives

LEGO has gone to their history books and have unearthed something called LEGO Project Hair. Back in 1975, the original LEGO minifigures were released with no arms or facial expressions. The higher ups at LEGO wanted more realistic features on the minifigures.

LEGO designer Vittig Hed started up Project Hair in which LEGO would put syntheic hair on minifigures. Unfortunately it didn’t test well in focus groups and it was archived. That is until a few years later when Project Hair was rediscovered during LEGO’s renovation.

LEGO was set to work on it again until 1978 rolled around and the LEGO Space theme was introduced. The release pretty much ended any hopes of Project Hair for good and it was never heard about again until today.

The LEGO Group CEO Talks Trump Tariffs

During yesterday’s financial reporting, The LEGO Group CEO Niels B. Christiansen also talked about the looming tariffs that the United States is putting on countries. Talking to Yahoo Finance, Christiansen said that if there are tariffs for Mexico, it would impact the company but it won’t be their biggest issue but would react for the long-term perspective and not to destroy the momentum they currently have.

As far as raising prices for LEGO sets here in the US, it would depend if the tariffs are permanent or temporary and they would react for the long-term and it’s hard to say at this moment in time. Currently LEGO has a factory in Mexico which supplies the products for North America and Christiansen mentioned that it wouldn’t be closing it even though there’s a Virginia plant slated to be open in 2027.
