do red minifig heads exist? —Christopher Masi

I know that plain yellow and plain black minifig heads exist, but I have no idea if the minifig head brick comes in red. I checked the Lugnet inventories, but minifig heads are not organized by this criteria. In fact, the black minifig heads from (...) (25 years ago, 11-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: do red minifig heads exist? —John Gerlach

(...) UFO sets #6836 and #6979 look to have a red-headed minifig. But, I'm squinting at a Shop at Home catalog, so I'm not 100% certain. JohnG (25 years ago, 11-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: do red minifig heads exist? —Tom McDonald

(...) Yep, UFO. If you don't mind using NEVR-DULL you can take off the printing and still remain a purist because those pieces were made without printing too. Among other colors, they were also available in trans-clear. -Tom McD. when replying, you (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: do red minifig heads exist? —Ben Gatrelle

I think what Christopher was asking about are bricks that are one color with no printing, like the yellow and black he mentioned, and the clear ones I am aware of. I have personally never seen solid red heads with no printing, but I am always amazed (...) (25 years ago, 11-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

However, Selcuk, those were the old type of minifig head without the slotted hole in the stud on top of the head. For the true purists, AFAIK, there are no sets with the more modern slotted head in red. Of course they do actually exist; I'm sure (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: do red minifig heads exist? —Gary R. Istok

Thanks Mark, I started that RTL thread about 7 months ago. And it was due to that 277 Fireplace set, whcih has 9 minifig heads (4 black, 5 red). And all of them are in the old "Type 1" minifig head style (no hole in top). It is interesting to note (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

Re: do red minifig heads exist? —Tamyra Teed

Gary, one more thing I've noticed about the heads, there are really 3 different types.. if you look at some of the older solid stud ones, they are more squarish... the edges aren't as rounded.. I'm not sure if they came between the 2 you mention in (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

I vaguely remember what you're talking about. Now I'm gonna have to go back and check all my old fat rounds. That would account for a 3rd type. That's great! Thanks! Gary Istok (...) (25 years ago, 12-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

As we've said, the unprinted red ones were only available years ago. You'd be better off in purchasing the relevant UFO sets today, and simply removing the printing.
