What LEGO Minifigure Is This?

Describe the figure in your own words, add the theme and decade if you know them, and pick yours from the pictures. It is free and needs no account.

A colour with what it is on does the most: “red helmet”, “dark blue legs”, “blonde hair”. Try an example.

How to identify a LEGO minifigure

  1. Say what you can see. Name each colour with the thing it is on: “white helmet”, “dark blue legs”, “blonde hair”. A job or character helps too: police officer, knight, astronaut.
  2. Add the theme if you know it. It does the most after the description. If the figure came from a box, the theme name is on it.
  3. Add the decade if you can guess it. Old figures have plain faces and simple prints; newer ones have detailed prints on the legs and back.
  4. Pick yours from the pictures. The page shows up to 48 figures, closest first. Open one to see the sets it came in.

If you know a set it came with, enter the number and the page lists that set’s figures.

How accurate is it?

We chose figures at random from the 17,373 in the catalog, skipping any whose picture no longer loads, described 35 of them from their pictures without reading their catalog names first, then searched for each. Measured November 03, 2026. With this few figures, take the counts as a rough guide.

What it cannot do

It reads the catalog’s name for each figure, and a name rarely mentions everything a figure shows. Many figures are named only for their character, like “Yvette”, and a description cannot find those: choose the theme and decade and look through the pictures instead. It does not look at photos. The tool itself saves nothing, but your description travels in the page’s address, which the site’s analytics and its record of a shop click note as they do for any page.
