Minifigure



Minifigures, minifigs, or just figs are little figures that represent people in LEGO&reg; products. They are represented on My LEGO Network as Stickers, or more commonly as the avatars for the MLN players.

Minifigures as avatars
At the beginning a new MLN-page everyone has the same starter minifigure. You can change your avatar using the "change avatar" button at the top left of your Private Page.

There are:


 * 11 different hair styles in 7 colors (you can also make your avatar bald.)
 * 24 different hats
 * 22 eyebrows
 * 50 types of eyes in 4 colors
 * 28 different mouths
 * 16 beards in 5 colors
 * 38 outfits
 * 10 trousers (although you see them very seldom)
 * 6 skin colors
 * 34 backgrounds

You have 77,931,786,240,000 possibilities for making a minifig without using glitches such as the Invisible Avatar Glitch and Echo's Avatar Glitch.

As minifigs are very important for identification purposes, almost all Networkers have one. Only very few do not (see Networkers with images for avatars.) There are also some who do not have a individual minifig but a starter one as they are not finished yet (Jamie and Simon.) LEGO-Networkers usually have accessories "normal people" do not have, sometimes even real pictures (e.g. the BIONICLE Networkers).

If you got the Alter Ego Module, it will produce a second minifig, an 'opposite' of what your minifig is.

Stickers
There also are many Stickers of famous minifigures from LEGO sets in MLN. As there are so many, here are the different kinds of stickers.


 * LEGO Themed (BIONICLE, CITY, etc.)
 * Old LEGO Theme (Exo-Force, Johnny Thunder, etc.)
 * Duplo

Some of the minifigs also are LEGO Duplo&reg; figs.

Avatar on MLNW
To get your MLN avatar on My LEGO Network Wiki (MLNW):

If you're still having trouble, you can just ask for Kjhf or another member who you see with an avatar, to do it, however we will only be able to get the avatar as shown by your Public Page, in the style like Troyl's, rather than the full avatar like Kjhf's.
 * 1) Press print screen on the keyboard to make a "screen shot" when you are on the "customise my avatar" page on LEGO.com.
 * 2) Head into an editing program, such as Paint, and paste in the screen shot (Ctrl + V).
 * 3) Crop the screen shot so that only the avatar is visible in the window. (If in paint, deselect the screen shot and go to the edge of the picture window. There should be a square half-way down the line edge. You can click (and hold) and drag to "crop" the image.)
 * 4) Save your avatar as a file such as "'s Avatar.png".
 * 5) Upload the picture to MLNW via the Image uploading tool.
 * 6) You're done! Just remember to categorise your image under Category:Avatars and insert the image onto your userpage, as unused avatars will be deleted.
