Well, the latest minifigure series is out there and Lego is pulling no punches, once again displaying its wonderful capacity for versatility and creativity in its products. Among some of the more colourful characters this series are Shark Boy, a Jewel Thief, Fat Queen, Faun, Daggy Janitor and Ballerina complete with Tutu.
As these Lego themed figures progress, they continue to represent a broader and broader cross section of society while increasing their attention to detail. The injured figure on crutches features a black eye, band-aids, bandaged head and plaster cast.
This is art-work (at least in the Lego community) at its best. Combining elements of reality and fantasy to create pieces that are fun, cute, imaginative and aesthetically pleasing. If art is all about capturing elements of our realities in imaginative, unique and creative ways, then Lego is adding its 2 cents and more to the modern artistic community.
