Sounds like a breakfast item doesn’t it? Lego my Minifigs!!

Actually, Minifigs is short for minifigures, the name that Lego has given the little people that will inhabit Lego Universe. On the Lego Universe website, there is an interview with Micki, who is Lego’s minifig expert! I’ve gone ahead and chosen some highlights of the interview. If you want to check out the entire interview on Lego Universe’s own website, just click on the link at the end of this article.

Question: Can you give a sneak preview of what the minifigs will be able to do in the game?
Micki: What if I told you that....you can jump, run, fight, build, buy, sell, chat, team up, solve puzzles, go on quests and much, much more!

Question: Can I design my own minifig and use it in the game?

Micki: You’ll be able to customize the mini figure in lots of new and exciting ways.

Question: Can I get my current LEGO Club minifig in the game?

Micki: You'll be able to transfer your avatar from LEGO Club into the game... and be ready for action.

Question: Are the minifigs going to be 3D?

Micki: The minifigs will be in 3D, and will be looking pretty cool.

Question: Will I be able to have some cool accessories for my minifig?

Micki: Players will earn accessoies as they play to continually building their collection. Then will be able to add and change accessories as they play in the many different LEGO Universe Worlds.

Wow! Sounds like the minifigs are going to be awesome! Make sure you go check out the entire article. Here is the link:
