The minifigs really did change the “feel” of legos. I’m old enough to remember a childhood without them. They’ve gone on to spawn games featuring the minifig characters, even movies based around them. I got a Y-Wing for Christmas, and the minifigures make the set feel more alive. Rest in piece, real man of genius.

LEGO is awesome, there’s even a song, but without minifigs I wouldn’t have been able to make my Mini-me!

Yes. I first had lego in 1965, in Denmark. No figures then, Playmobil had them but that was a different box.
I remember reading kind of much later that Lego had been around for decades. But in the internet age, I see it was old, the plastic one we all know came about six years before I first saw it. So almost new in 1965.
