Today, LEGO releases about 800 different minifigures each year
0:05
There is a minifig for all themes. For example, I can show you Superman, Robin Hood from the 90s
0:20
Jack Sparrow, Shaquille O'Neal from the Lakers, or, for example, you can see a robot from the classic space in the 80s
0:33
There is a LEGO Friends, there is a LEGO Elvis, and it's SpongeBob
0:42
At the end of the 90s, LEGO launched on the market the LEGO Star Wars theme
0:49
I have 242 minifigures in my collection. For example, you can see Ashok Hatano from the film The Clone Wars
1:01
Its price is about 30 euros here in Italy today, and probably a little less in Europe
1:08
C-3PO in the first type, and another type, they are two different minifigures, and so two different codes
1:20
We can see here Darth Vader. From the need to expose my collection and protect the minifigures from the dust
1:31
I designed and patented this little box. I gave the name Fabio from the union of the word box and my name, Fabio
1:44
Each display contains about 16 minifigures. There is a code for each minifigure
1:52
In the 70s, minifigures didn't have movable arms and legs, and they were composed by four pieces
2:01
a base, a torso without movable arms, an head without expression, and the hat
2:08
Even LEGO Duplo minifigures you can see here on the bottom are very, very simple
2:14
It's very cuddly and nice. In 1978, were born the classic minifigures with movable arms and legs
2:26
with the classic expression. For example, you can see here a worker
2:30
but there is a minifigure from the city, or a fireman. In 1979, were born the Fabuland series
2:42
with the body of a man and the head of an animal
2:46
My preferred one is the Walrus. His name is Captain Walrus, and I think it's very, very nice
2:55
In the 80s, when I was born, and I remember my first set was a digger
3:01
with a worker in a black overalls and red helmet. Inspiration to collect minifigures began in 1989
3:11
LEGO launched on the market the Black Seas Barracuda. They had faces improved by adding details
3:18
such as the bird or the pirate A-patch. Another ship, another bigger ship, it's a MOC that I created in 1998
3:31
From 1975 to today, LEGO has released about 12,000 of different minifigures
3:41
And so, I have a lot of work to do. I hope you enjoyed this video, and bye-bye from Fabiox
