BRINGING LEGO® PLAY TO LIFE
将乐高®游戏带入生活
IN THE 1960s and early 1970s, the focus in LEGO® building was on constructing models like houses, cars, and trains. But something important was missing: people to live in the houses, drive the cars, and run the trains!
20世纪60年代和70年代初,乐高®建筑的重点是建造房屋、汽车和火车等模型。但是缺少了一些重要的东西:人们住在房子里,开汽车,开火车!
If children wanted characters to play in their LEGO creations, they had to make them out of bricks themselves. To address this need for role-play and storytelling, the company first created large, buildable family figures, and later shrunk them down to a size that would fit in better with smaller LEGO models.
如果孩子们想让角色在乐高玩具中玩耍,他们必须自己用砖块制作。为了满足角色扮演和讲故事的需要,该公司首先创造了大型的、可构建的家庭模型,然后将其缩小到更适合小型乐高模型的尺寸。
In 1975, a figure was launched with a blank yellow head, a torso with arm-shaped bumps, and a single solid leg. In 1978, this forerunner to the minifigure was updated with moving arms and legs, hands that could hold accessories, and a face painted with two dots for eyes and a friendly smile.
1975年,推出了一款头部为空白黄色、躯干有手臂状突起、单腿实心的人像。1978年,这一小型人像的前身进行了更新,手臂和腿都在移动,手可以拿着配件,脸上画着两个圆点作为眼睛和友好的微笑。
The famous LEGO minifigure was ready to play!
著名的乐高迷你们已经准备好玩了!
BIRTH OF A LEGEND
传奇的诞生
To create the prototype for the first minifigure, designer Jens Nygård Knudsen and a team of colleagues sawed and filed LEGO bricks into a miniature human form.
设计师Jens Nygård Knudsen和一组同事将乐高积木锯成一个微型人形,并将其锉成一个模型。
Three years and 50 additional prototypes carved in plastic and cast in tin later, he produced the updated modern- style minifigure. Among the sets it debuted in was set 600, featuring a policeman and a buildable brick patrol car.
三年后,他又制作了50个塑料雕刻和锡铸的原型,制作出了最新的现代风格的迷你雕像。在其首次亮相的布景中,布景为600,其中包括一名警察和一辆可建造的砖头巡逻车。WHAT’S A MINIFIGURE?
迷你图是什么?
A LEGO® MINIFIGURE is a small, posable figure of a person or being. Most minifigures have rotating arms, legs, hands, and heads. They have connectors on their bodies that are compatible with LEGO bricks and other elements.
LEGO®迷你人像是一个人或人的小型、可摆姿势的人像。大多数迷你们都有旋转的手臂、腿、手和头。它们的身体上有与乐高积木和其他元素兼容的连接器。
They often represent famous archetypes, such as firefighters, astronauts, and knights. A minifigure can be disassembled and combined with parts from other minifigures to create an entirely new character.
他们通常代表著名的原型,如消防员、宇航员和骑士。一个小人物可以分解并与其他小人物的部分组合,以创建一个全新的角色。
The faces of many minifigures carry a friendly smile, but some have other expressions—even multiple ones! Minifigures drive cars, live in castles, fly spaceships, and fill the world of construction with endless possibilities for fun, role-play, and imagination.
许多小人物的脸上都带着友好的微笑,但有些人甚至有多种表情!迷你们开车,住在城堡里,驾驶宇宙飞船,让建筑世界充满无限的乐趣、角色扮演和想象力。
1970s
七十年代
The 1970s were when it all began. First, there were big, buildable people with round yellow heads. Then came mini-sized, solid-bodied figures with swappable hats and expressionless faces.
20世纪70年代是这一切开始的时候。首先,有着圆圆的黄色脑袋的高大的、可建造的人。然后是微型的、结实的身躯,戴着可交换的帽子,脸上没有表情。
Finally, in 1978, the best parts of both were combined to create a smiling little character with movable arms and legs.
最后,在1978年,两者的最佳部分结合起来,创造了一个手臂和腿都可以活动的微笑小角色。
The LEGO® minifigure was born, and with it came three new lines—Town, Castle, and Space—creating an entire world of constructible buildings, vehicles, and accessories to bring it to life.
乐高®微型人像诞生了,随之而来的是三条新线:城镇、城堡和空间,创造了一个由可建造的建筑、车辆和配件组成的完整世界,让它焕发出生机。 1985
1985
THE LEGO® SYSTEM in play with its endless possibilities celebrated its 30th birthday in 1985, with a record number of new minifigures released and the launch of Airport as part of the Town subtheme.
乐高®系统在1985年庆祝了它的30岁生日,发布了创纪录数量的新迷你们,机场的启用也成为了小镇主题的一部分。
Both Town and Space saw strong assortments this year, while Castle took a bit of a back seat before making a comeback in 1986. This year offered further proof that the dynamic world of LEGO building and LEGO minifigures would continue to change and grow every year.
今年,小镇和太空都出现了强劲的组合,而Castle在1986年回归之前有点退居二线。今年进一步证明,乐高建筑和乐高迷你们的动态世界将继续每年发生变化和增长。HEADS UP, EVERYONE!
大家注意!
the basic design of the standard minifigure head—a rounded piece with a stud on top—has not changed since the early years. The first heads always smiled, but in 1989, LEGO® Pirates introduced new face prints that included beards, eyepatches, and a range of different facial expressions.
标准迷你人头的基本设计——顶部带有螺柱的圆形件——自早期以来一直没有改变。第一批人总是面带微笑,但在1989年,乐高®海盗推出了新的面部照片,包括胡须、眼罩和一系列不同的面部表情。
The launch of licensed themes in 1999 saw a massive innovation— specially molded heads created for less humanlike characters, and soon many other themes introduced these, too. The reversible head was introduced in 2001, which allowed a minifigure to change his or her expression when they felt like it.
1999年,授权主题的发布见证了一项巨大的创新——为不太像人类的角色制作了特别的模制头部,很快许多其他主题也引入了这些。可翻转头部于2001年推出,允许迷你们在他们喜欢的时候改变表情。
