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 post LEGO Project Hair Revealed from Archives appeared first on The Brick Fan.

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. As a Rakuten/Linkshare Affiliate, I earn from qualifying purchases.

LEGO’s Disney product line is a popular theme, and in recent years the theme has offered some remarkable models. With sets ranging from mosaics to elaborate castles, LEGO has definitely gone beyond building vignettes of scenes from Disney movies. It’s no wonder that AFOLs are drawn to the theme and have come up with some amazingly cute MOCs.  One such AFOL is my friend Tamami Takado from Japan (@lego_nano_1 on Instagram). I met Tamami at Japan BrickFest in 2023, and we’ve kept in touch since then. As a “Disnerd” myself, I was drawn to Tamami’s builds. I was happy that Tamami’s work was chosen to be displayed at the LEGO House Masterpiece Gallery from 2024 to 2025! Her two models, a Habitat stack based on Beauty and the Beast, and the Disney Christmas Parade represent Tamami’s work: cute, charming, and capturing our love for all things Disney+LEGO!
