Und was wäre LEGO Harry Potter oder LEGO Star Wars ohne ihre Hauptdarsteller? Allgemein LEGO A/S ist ein Unternehmen aus Dänemark, das mit seinem Spielzeug seit Beginn an groß und Klein verzaubert und zu stundenlangem Ineinanderstecken der LEGO Steine anhält.
Nach dem Baukastensystem werden die verschiedensten Modelle beispielsweise in Form von LEGO-Figuren, Gebäuden und Gegenständen gebaut und können nach Belieben ergänzt und verändert werden. Geschichte Erstmals kamen LEGO Figuren 1974 auf den Markt. An Kopf und Armteilen drehbar, besaßen sie noch kein Gesicht, und der Unterkörper war aus normalen LEGObausteinen zusammengesetzt. Vier Jahre später stellte man dann die heutzutage noch üblichen menschlichen Spielfiguren vor und nannte sie Minifigs. 1979 wurden auch Tierfiguren entwickelt, und mit der Zeit kamen immer wieder Figuren zu verschiedenen Mottos auf dem Markt, wie beispielsweise 2002 die Actionfiguren Galidor? oder 2004 die Ritterfiguren von Knights Kingdom?. Bestandteile In der Regel sind LEGO Figuren ca. 42mm hoch (Maßstab ca.1:40) und können an Kopf, Ober- und Unterkörper in ihre Einzelteile zerlegt werden. Währende die Beine über ein Scharniergelenk bewegt werden und über dieses mit der Hüfte verbunden sind, können Hände, Arme und Kopf in sämtliche Richtungen gedreht werden.
