Description

Figures you assemble yourself

The focus of this set is not vehicles or buildings but people. The family is put together from individual bricks, and that is exactly the appeal: you build faces, bodies and clothing yourself from the elements provided. That was a different approach from the ready-made play figures that came later, and it gives the set a hand-made character of its own. It suits anyone who enjoys a creative task and likes working out how to turn plain bricks into characters.

Four colours, 17 types

Black, yellow, blue and red are the main colours. Yellow suits heads and hands, blue and red suit clothing, and black suits hair and details. With 78 pieces in 17 different types the choice is small but enough to build several figures of different sizes. The parts list shows which elements these are and what quantities are in the box, in case you want to check a second-hand set for completeness before you buy or start building.

Playing and storytelling

A family makes it easy to tell stories: everyday life, a day trip, a visit to the miller. If you own other sets from 1974, you can place the figures beside the windmill, the aeroplane or the locomotive and create a small world. The set can also be displayed, ideally together with other figure sets from the range. Because the parts are so simple, the build goes quickly without any prior knowledge, and the figures stand firmly.

Reuse in your stock

After playing, you can use the bricks for something else. The “What can I build?” tool on this page shows which models can be put together from the parts, including in combination with the rest of your stock. Yellow and black bricks in particular are versatile and work for vehicles, animals or buildings. In this way a small family becomes a supply for many further projects and ideas of your own.
