Anatomy of a minifig
Jason Freeny, a talented artist and designer, rendered the anatomy of a minifig in stunning detail. Wait, I never knew our minifigs had so much guts, and pretty much everything else is included as well, down to the family jewels.
Check out Jason’s website for more interesting works and deviant art that showcases the artist’s amazing creativity.

Are you sure they look like that?

But what we REALLY need is a chart showing where the best cuts of meat are on a Minifig. :-)

Yeah, this needs to go on my wall.

Wow. This is WAY more than I ever wanted to know about a minifig. :o

Why don’t minifigs have noses but the skeleton [figs] do?

Bloody freaking awesome!! This looks to be a new work. I hope that he makes a poster of this (or t-shirt or other swag) available in his shop.

It looks as if the only internal concession to the nature of the minifig is the U-shaped hands… everything else just doesn’t seem right. Especially since there are skeleton minifigs, I suppose. I’d have liked to see this kind of a diagram of an actual LEGO skeleton with these guts.
Oh well! It’s… interesting!

It be awesome. I love how the skeleton looks so short and stubby, you could imagine him just waddling around.
October 14th, 2008 at 11:03 pm
I am at the same time both repulsed and fascinated.

Misses the mark for me. The internal detail is too… fussy. And Jai is right, there is already a skele-fig that could be (literally) fleshed out.

Surprised the skull doesn’t have a stud.
I’ll never feel right pulling the legs off again!

This should be produced in poster form.
Perhaps framed.

The super-detail is part of the charm! If it was just the cut-away fig with a skeleton fig inside it, it would be nearly as neat/disturbing.
Agreed that the skull needs a stud, though.

Why did the skull need a stud? This just tells us valuable information that the stud is actually cartilaginous!
Also the poster is available to buy

Great. Now I won’t be able to take a minifig apart without cringing. ><;

OMG why did you link to that site?
I’ll never be able to eat a gummi again!

I never knew my minifig had a heart.

SUCH A RIPOFF !!!!
google this: Michael Paulus cartoon skeletons or Hyungkoo Lee cartoon skeletons sculptures.
October 19th, 2008 at 5:41 pm
lm confused, so did Michael Paulus rip off Hyungkoo Lee or visa versa?..

Jason used to sell T-shirts with this awesome design on Zazzle (I own one). But Zazzle kicked it off the site due to ‘possible copyright infringement’. I wonder why – did Lego copyright their minifig to such an extent that you can’t make (and sell) parody drawings? I find that hard to believe.
