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.

Celebrate Vincent van Gogh’s Birthday with LEGO

Celebrate Vincent van Gogh’s birthday today by indulging in some of the sets that LEGO has released. In the past few years, LEGO has made a few sets for the artist with the first one being the LEGO Ideas Vincent van Gogh – The Starry Night (21333). This set recreates the iconic painting in a 3D design. The other set was just released at the beginning of March which is the LEGO Art Vincent van Gogh – Sunflowers (31215). This set also has a 3D feel with the design replicating the brushstrokes and the different shading techniques used for the flowers. Both sets can be hung on walls so if you’re looking to decorate your house, these aren’t bad choices.

If you wanted the LEGO Star Wars Captain Rex Y-Wing Microfighter (75391), Amazon has further discounted the set and this time it’s up to 48% off. The set is now priced at a measly $6.97 which is a great deal on it. The Captain Rex minifigure alone in a few years will probably be worth more than the price of the set after it retires.
