Turn yourself into a brick-built figure.

A small figure of yourself on the shelf sounds simple, yet making it look like you is hard: the likeness lives in the face, and bricks are square.

LEGO® is a trademark of the LEGO Group, which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse Nooks. Nooks kits are custom brick sets, not official LEGO® sets.

So the figure is stylised. It doesn't try to be a photograph. It picks out the few features people know you by and gets those exactly right.

What a figure captures

• Hair: the shape and colour first. Curls, buns, a fringe, a shaved head and a ginger beard all read clearly in bricks.
• Accessories: glasses, hats, earrings and headphones are often the strongest likeness of all.
• Clothes: a favourite colour, stripes, a team shirt.
• Expression and pose: laughing, side-on, arms crossed.

Figure, bust or scene?

• A bust (head and shoulders) is compact and shows the face and hair in the most detail. Good for a desk.
• A full figure shows the outfit and pose.
• A scene puts the person somewhere: a café table, a kitchen, a ski slope. See couples sets for two-person scenes.

The photo to send

Send a clear, well-lit photo of the face, roughly straight on, and add a full-length one if you want the whole figure. Natural light works best, and keep your glasses on if they are part of how people know you. More in the best photos for a custom brick set.

Who it is for

• Yourself, as a desk piece or a profile picture come to life.
• A parent or grandparent: see a gift for a dad who has everything.
• A friend, a colleague leaving, a teacher, a team.
• A whole family, as a scene.

Design with your agent

Connect a compatible agent through the connection guide. Bring a clear photo and describe the details, size and parts budget you want. Your agent can work on the same project you open in the Nooks workbench.

Preview and check

Inspect the model from several angles, review its validation results, and ask your agent to revise it. A design still needs your review before you source parts and build it.

Your manual and parts list

Export the digital step-by-step manual, parts list and BrickLink wanted list from the workbench. The manual follows the saved design; keep the exports together so the parts and steps match.

Estimate and buy parts

Upload the wanted list to BrickLink to check seller prices, availability, shipping and taxes.

Download the wanted-list XML and upload it to BrickLink to choose sellers and buy parts directly. Nooks provides the digital design tools.
