Since LEGO provides both female minifigs and male minifigs, it is only natural that there would be Minifig Babies. First of all, it is the way of the world. Secondly, how else could someone account for the countless of minifigs that currently roam the earth? The latter question is what led to the adorable creation of the Minifig Babies.
Conceived and created by Citizen Bricks, an online resource for custom-designed small toy collectibles, the Minifig Babies come in two versions. The pink represents a baby girl while the blue signifies a baby boy. Of course, to keep up with the times, Citizen Bricks might want to consider creating a few genderless Minifig babies. When purchased, the artists' warn, "Gender chosen randomly, as is Nature's way."
