Build a personalized, brick-compatible minifigure of yourself, your partner, or a friend — then download a complete build guide so you can bring it to life with real bricks.
Want a gift that's actually one of a kind? With Brick3d's free online configurator, you design a custom minifigure piece by piece — body type, hair, shirt, eyes, bottoms, and boots — and see it update in 3D as you go. When you're happy with it, download a complete PDF build guide with a full parts list, then assemble the real thing yourself with compatible bricks.
It works like a character creator in an RPG, except what you build doesn't stay on screen — you get a downloadable, step-by-step guide to build it as a real, physical minifigure. People use it for anniversary and Valentine's gifts, birthday presents, self-portrait minifigures, matching couple sets, and even custom party favors.

What you actually get
Designing your Brickmen: 7 simple steps
The configurator walks you through seven customization steps. At every step you can rotate and zoom the 3D model to check the fit before moving on.
1Choose a body type
Pick a static body — the classic style used in most brick-built minifigures — or a version with articulated, moving hands. The moving-hands body lets two figures hold hands, which is a favorite for couple sets.
2Pick a top
Choose between a t-shirt or a shirt, then set the color to match a favorite outfit, team, or personality.
3Choose a hairstyle
Select from a range of hair shapes and colors to get the closest match to the real person (or go for something entirely fictional).
4Set the eyes
Pick an eye style to nail the expression — from classic minifigure eyes to more stylized options.
5Choose bottoms
Select pants, shorts, or a skirt in the color of your choice.
6Pick boots
Finish the look with a footwear color and style.
7Download your instructions
Once you're happy with the design, download the build guide as a PDF: a cover sheet, a full parts list with part numbers and colors, and clear assembly diagrams for every stage of the build.

Frequently asked questions
Is the configurator free to use?
Yes — designing your Brickmen and downloading the PDF build guide is completely free.
What pieces do I need to build it?
Your PDF includes a full parts list with exact part numbers, colors, and quantities, so you know exactly what to buy. The pieces are widely available from third-party brick retailers.
Can I make more than one figure, like a couple set?
Yes. Many people design two figures together — the articulated-hands body type is designed specifically so two minifigures can hold hands.
Do I need any building experience?
No. The instructions are step-by-step diagrams designed for any skill level, just like a standard brick-building set.
