Last week, LEGO announced that the LEGO Minifigure Factory has returned to the LEGO Shop after launching the beta for it a few years back. Here you can personalize your own LEGO character, sigfig if you will, for a price of $11.99 per minifigure. LEGO recently gave us an opportunity to check out the new additions to the system including more heads, bodies, and accessories.

During the process of making your character, you can choose from a wide combination of head, headwear, torso, legs, and accessories. The torso has more details that you can choose from such as the clothing, decorations, and text. For the clothing, you can pick from solid, plain, patterns, or outfits. The outfits have more stylized options that you can choose from. You are able to design the torso on the back as well with the same options.

One thing I noticed when designing the back of my minifigure is that the coloring on the physical minifigure is a little darker than what you see on screen. As you can see below, I personalized the back of the torso and it seems fine on screen but when I look at it in hand, you can barely see the letters. I had to super zoom in on the minifigure to try to make out the words. I would suggest if you’re using a darker torso color, use bright letter. You can also see some issues with the pad printing with the minor scratches.
