The Lego Group had humble beginnings in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark. In 1916, Christiansen purchased a woodworking shop in Billund which had been in business since 1895. He earned his living by constructing houses and furniture for farmers in the region, with the help of a small staff of apprentices. His workshop burned down in 1924 when a fire, lit by two of his young sons, ignited some wood shavings. Undaunted, Ole Kirk took the disaster as an opportunity to construct a larger workshop, and worked towards expanding his business even further; however, the Great Depression would soon have an impact on his livelihood. In finding ways to minimize production costs, Ole Kirk began producing miniature versions of his products as design aids. It was these miniature stepladders and ironing boards that inspired him to begin producing toys.

Those were all entries in the FC Historical Figures Contest. Participants were challenged to put together figures of historical people using faces/hair/bodies/etc from existing LEGO figures. So comments like “John Lennon could double as Harry Potter” and “Louisa May Alcott could double as Princess Leia” come from the fact that those heads are from the LEGO Harry Potter and Star Wars sets, respectively. BTW, the Mark Twain figure won.

I like how everybody has a picture of himself as comparison, but William Wallace is Mel Gibson.

[…] En la web The Contaminated han puesto una serie de fotos de personajes famosos convertidos en muñecos de Lego. Entre ellos están John Lennon, Fidel Castro, Pelé, Michael Jackson o William Wallace. Algunos están bastante conseguidos mientras que otros simplemente se parecen un poco. Si eres fan de Lego, no puedes perderte el ver la colección completa. […]

Okay, I hardly think that just drawing some glasses on a lego man that you can claim it’s John Lennon ! And I tried VERY hard to see some resemblance to Michael Jackson but…And Nelson Mandela ? WTF ? Nothing like him at all…
