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.

“This 1975 Western-themed LEGO set offers a fascinating glimpse into vintage LEGO design. Featuring classic buildings like a saloon, bank, and sheriff’s office, along with quirky minifigures and unique builds for horses, it captures the charm of its era despite lacking... More interior details or modern minifigure articulation. The cardboard base and nostalgic design touches make this set a delightful collectible for fans of LEGO history.”
