So simple, yet so funny! And well built, too! ;-) I’m still laughing...

A question: Where did those torsos come from?

Spotlighted. :-D

Thanks Nathan

The proto-minifig torsos are from the mid seventies, as Benjamin points out (Thanks Benjamin), and as Bruce mentions in his excellent Evolution of the Minifig essay. I have many that came with the sets I purchased back in the day.

A full proto minifig appeared most recently as Mr Boddy in Mitch Hively’s wonderful Clue Vignettes, albeit, with a different head. Those new flesh tones do look so deathly next to the classic yellow, don’t you think?


Peace and clues, Professor Whateverly
