We’re big fans of this massive minifig and their supersized LEGO spaceship!

LEGO’s up-scaled minifigure models (or MiniBigs, as I like to call them, which is going to catch on any day now I’m sure) have proven to be a popular concept for creative AFOLs to run with. Pascal Hetzel must have seen our April Fool’s post and created his own big classic space minifigure. But, not content with merely creating a massive minifigure, he’s built a supersized spaceship to go with it! And true to Neo-Classic Space form, it’s got plenty of greebles and texture, making it far more than a simple up-scaled model. If you can call such things simple, that is!

This thing is so big, I’m sure it would’ve reached the 100-stud long threshold required of SHIPtember builds. If you want to see more enormous LEGO ships, be sure to check out our archives!

LEGO debuts Creator 1-of-3 line with upscaled Classic Space Minifig spread over three sets [April Fool’s!]

Acknowledging that the size and complexity of sets has become overwhelming for many builders, LEGO announced today the Creator 1-of-3 line that promises to let fans build at their own pace. The first wave features a scaled-up Classic Space Minifigure serialized over 3 separate sets. Together the sets contain an intimidating 694 pieces, but don’t sweat it! With the 1-of-3 line, the model is split into more manageable stand-alone kits with modest piece counts designed to lower anxiety.  LEGO Creator 1-of-3 40125 Classic Space Torso, the largest of the wave, consists of an up-scaled Minifigure torso containing 274 parts and features the iconic Classic Space logo and posable arms and hands. Set 40126 Classic Space Legs trails its torso counterpart with 231 pieces and features movable legs, while set 40127 Classic Space Head rounds out the trio with 189 pieces, comprising of a blue helmet and the iconic smiling yellow Minifigure face. While it’s possible to collect them all to build a fully posable up-scaled Minifigure that stands 10 inches tall (25.5 cm), there’s no pressure to do so. Each section makes a wonderful display piece on its own. We can expect all these sets to hit store shelves on May 15th. Read on for info and pictures for each specific set.
