BrickForge FAQ
What's a MiniFig?
Short for "miniature figure"
a minifig is simply a small scale modular action figure. The most common
minifigs are produced by LEGO, MegaBlocks, MiniMates & Microman.
What is MiniFig
customization?
Although pretty much self-explanitory this hobby involves reworking,
designing, painting, shaping and accessorizing existing minifigs to
better suit your personal needs. There are varying degrees of
customization from simple body-part swap to custom-designed
stickers/decals to sculpting and painting your own minifig parts.
Plastic Injected
Accessories?
BrickForge offers several professionally molded products to better equip
your minifigs. Injection molding is a manufacturing technique for making
parts from thermoplastic material. Molten plastic is injected at high
pressure into a mold, which is the inverse of the desired shape.
BrickForge has chosen to use ABS plastic and base its color palette off
of the same as LEGO parts (99% color match).
What sort of
Accessories?
BrickForge specializes in all types of elements to be used in a variety
of MOCs. Weapons, Helmets, Armor, Hairpieces, Animals.......more
to come!
How can I get some?
Simply register at our
online store and have at it! Be sure you have the permission from a
parent.
Do you sell decals for minifigs?
Both RedBean and Armothe have created hundreds decal/sticker/wrap designs
for minifigs over the past few years. Unfortunately we do not have the
capacity at this time to list them and offer them for sale. They will be
made available at some point in the future.
There appears to
be a gap in my animal.
BrickForge animals consist of two sides that are snapped together to
make a complete piece. The cow consists of four pieces due to the head
movement. Occasionally, during our assembly process, these pieces do not
get snapped as tightly as they could be. All that's needed is a bit of
extra pressure to better close the gap. For pigs, press tightly in the
space towards the bottom of the snout. For cows, this spot is usually
located just behind the front legs.
Warning!
The simple nature of miniature-scale replica weapons requires that a few
of our products contain somewhat sharp tips. BrickForge parts are meant
for display and should never be used as actual weapons. Please keep out
of the reach of small children lest they attempt to orally (or
otherwise) insert them.
