The new LEGO Originals Wooden Minifigure is a 5:1 upscaled version of the classic design. It stands at over seven inches tall and measures four inches wide and three inches deep. It comes with an FSC-certified oak body and two yellow trademark LEGO plastic hands.
As such, it’s the first-ever toy to include both wooden and plastic parts since the 1130 Bedford firetruck released in 1959. In addition, it features a black laser-cut LEGO branding on the stud of its head.
