Recently we gave you a sneak preview of an exciting new web app on the LEGO.com Pick a Brick site: Create a Minifigure. As of today, the beta version has gone live in the UK! Unfortunately it is not available elsewhere.
Design your own minifigure from the available parts – you can create up to 40 minifigures in one order. Once you have designed one, it's easy to duplicate it too, for personal army building!
This article contains affiliate links to LEGO.com; we may get a small commission if you purchase.
Feel free to check it out on mobile too, because it was designed primarily to be used on mobile devices.
The service offers a large number of the minifigure elements available on Pick a Brick, but nothing exclusive. It is effectively a nicer way to purchase minifigure elements.
Notably the skin tones are all yellow currently. The FAQs provide this answer: "Create a Minifigure is a brand new experience that we are testing for a limited time. As a result, some features and parts are currently limited. However, more customisation options may be added over time to enhance your LEGO® minifigure-building experience."
Prices are clearly marked, and indeed the menus of elements are arranged from cheapest to most expensive – a very kind way to help us spend less... perhaps?
The images are high resolution, which is great, although they do take a moment to load, I'm noticing.
Even if you are not in the UK, you can try out the UK version, but you cannot purchase:

Interesting endeavor, although I'd like to see more heads with natural skintones.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely just a different interface for ordering minifig PaB elements. No fleshtone heads is likely because this scheme is for complete figs and mixed yellow/flesh isn't an appealing presentation for one of their primary trademarks. Since the manufacturing line is identical to PaB, customizing hand tones with heads is far too advanced.
