The small posable figure with a cylindrical head that populates most LEGO® sets.
A minifigure is assembled from a few parts: head, torso with arms and hands, hips and legs, plus hair or headgear and accessories. Figures are collected in their own right, and a rare one can be worth more than the set it came in. BrickDb catalogues minifigures separately and lets you own them outside a set.
