Minifig Facts
The old Legoland Figures from the early 1970s, also known as pre-minifigures, were introduced in 1974 and were used in sets before the modern LEGO minifigure debuted in 1978. These figures had no arms or movable legs, featuring a simple design with a brick-built body and a molded head with printed facial features. They typically had a basic cylindrical head with dot eyes and a smile. These figures appeared in early Legoland Town, Castle, and Space sets, serving as the first attempt at adding human-like characters to LEGO playsets.

Review for LEGO set 699 Photo Safari from BrickEconomy
“This early animal-themed set offers an inventive build for its time, featuring a colorful jeep with a trailer and several simple but easily recognizable brick-built animals. The use of arches, fences, and wheel elements adds creativity to the construction, and the set... More showcases early LEGO techniques for vehicle and trailer design. While limited by its era’s parts and minifigures, it remains an interesting example of how LEGO experimented with form and color in early builds.”
