Lego Legion

I have been slightly obsessed recently.

I knew the photograph I wanted to take, it just took me several months to get it right. I had to assemble a suitable cast, find the right angle, create even lighting, and control the depth of field. To onlookers it may have looked like a grown man playing with toys, but this was a serious undertaking.

Finally I got the shot I wanted: a Lego Legion.

    Not obsessed. Just a boy who hasn’t grown up!

    Amazingly they all have all their hands and arms as I’m sure the ones I used to play with lost limbs along the way.

    I bought several boxes of brand new men! All carefully selected to give a range of hair, hats etc. If you look there are also two female lego men. They are surprisingly hard to find.

      From a medical point of view –

      surely they are lego women as opposed to “female lego men”.

      Or is your new hobby surgery on little lego people?

    interesting…

    I think the technical term is lego minifigure, therefore perhaps “woman minifigure”

    Yes I did perform some surgery. I completely removed the head of one individual and placed it on the body of another. I also switched over the legs. Patient recovered from the procedure with minimal complications.
