Lego is testing a new online minifigure maker called the Minifigure Factory that will allow you to create your very own Lego person.

You can use the tool to choose different heads, headwear, torsos, legs, and accessories for your minifig. You can apply decals and text for the torso. Lego will be preventing users from making inappropriate Minifigs. You can choose from a laptop, pretzel, and pizza. You can only purchase one Minifig per household.

The Minifigure Factory looks to be similar if you have used Legos online build a minifigure tool. The level of torso customization that you can get with Minifigure Factory is not offered by build a minifigure.

Lego says the site has limited availability, so you should be aware of that. I had access to it for a little while, but now I don't. In a notice, the company said that some parts and features may not be available and that the page may be unavailable from time to time.

I cobbled together a version of myself using parts from different sets, but it didn't look right, even though I had two lightsabers and a hoverboard. I can make a Lego version of myself with the help of Minifigure Factory. If you want to make a full-on action figure of yourself, you will be able to do that thanks to a recent announcement by the company.
