Celebrity LEGO Minifigures That Prove LEGO Knows Pop Culture

Your favorite celebrities have been shrunk down to minifigure size, and collectors can't get enough. Celebrity LEGO minifigures rank among the most sought-after pieces in the LEGO community, capturing beloved actors, historical figures, and pop culture icons with impressive accuracy.

From sitcom legends to Marvel Studios executives, the LEGO Group has given famous faces the brick treatment. These minifigures of real-life stars stand out through their attention to detail—Heath Ledger's menacing Joker grin, Vincent van Gogh's signature red beard, and the unmistakable outfits of the Friends cast. At Game of Bricks, we've spent years helping collectors display these prized sets with premium lights, and we're ready to break down every celebrity minifigure worth adding to your shelf.

Sitcom Legends in Minifigure Form

Seinfeld (Set 21328)

The show about nothing became something incredible in LEGO form. Set 21328 features Jerry Seinfeld, George Costanza, Cosmo Kramer, Elaine Benes, and Newman—each capturing their iconic personality through carefully designed prints and expressions.

Fan designer Brent Waller spent hours rewatching episodes to nail every detail. The results speak for themselves: Kramer's wild hair, George's anxious expression, and Elaine's signature style all translate perfectly to minifigure scale.

Friends (Sets 21319 & 10292)

Could these celebrity-inspired minifigures BE any more accurate? The Central Perk set (21319) delivered Ross Geller, Rachel Green, Chandler Bing, Monica Geller, Joey Tribbiani, Phoebe Buffay, and Gunther—all based on David Schwimmer, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, Courteney Cox, Matt LeBlanc, Lisa Kudrow, and James Michael Tyler.

The Apartments set (10292) expanded the collection with updated outfits and introduced Janice for the first time. Rachel's iconic plaid skirt, Ross's too-tight leather pants, and Joey wearing all of Chandler's clothes are just some of the episode references captured in these figures.

Entertainment Industry Icons

Walt Disney (Set 43230)

The Walt Disney Tribute Camera set celebrates Disney's 100th anniversary with something rare—a minifigure of Walt Disney himself. Standing alongside Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, the Walt minifigure represents one of the few real people to appear beside fictional characters in an official LEGO set.

The 811-piece collector's set features a vintage movie camera with working mechanisms and a director's clapperboard. Every Disney fan and collector of famous LEGO figures should consider this one.

Vincent van Gogh (Set 21333)

Art lovers celebrated when The Starry Night set arrived with a Vincent van Gogh minifigure—the first and only painter given the LEGO treatment. His distinctive red beard, blue jacket, and painter's palette make him instantly recognizable. The minifigure stands on an adjustable display arm with his easel, ready to create his next masterpiece.

Kevin Feige (Set 76269 Avengers Tower)

Here's one that surprised everyone. The massive 5,201-piece Avengers Tower includes 31 minifigures—and one of them is Kevin Feige, President of Marvel Studios. Dubbed "Marvel Jesus" by fans for architecting the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Feige's minifigure wears his trademark baseball cap with an Avengers logo and carries a coffee and taco (a nod to the famous shawarma post-credits scene).

LEGO officially calls him "Kevin the Avengers fan," a charming way to include a real industry figure alongside Tony Stark, Thor, and the rest of Earth's Mightiest Heroes. This makes the Avengers Tower one of the most unique sets for celebrity LEGO minifigures collectors.

Actors as Movie Characters

The Dark Knight Villains (Set 76303)

Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight gave us unforgettable performances, and LEGO captured two of them perfectly. The Batman Tumbler set includes Heath Ledger's Joker with that haunting painted face and messy green hair, plus Aaron Eckhart's Two-Face featuring a stunning new hair piece and scarred face print.

These actor-based LEGO minifigures honor two of the most compelling comic book movie villains ever. Two-Face comes with his trademark silver coin, while the Joker holds a wad of cash (despite his famous disregard for money). The first-ever Two-Face minifigure based on The Dark Knight has been highly anticipated by collectors.

The Weasley Family & Harry Potter (Set 76437)

The Burrow Collectors' Edition features the complete Weasley family for the first time ever. You'll find minifigures representing Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, plus all nine Weasleys, including Rupert Grint as Ron. Bill and Charlie Weasley appear as minifigures for the first time—Charlie wasn't even in the films, so LEGO worked with Warner Bros to create his look in dragon leather.

Complete Weasley Minifigure Lineup:

• Arthur Weasley
• Molly Weasley
• Bill Weasley (first ever)
• Charlie Weasley (first ever)
• Percy Weasley
• Fred Weasley
• George Weasley
• Ron Weasley
• Ginny Weasley

The 2,405-piece rickety house includes features like a Floo Network fireplace and self-cleaning pots. This is the ultimate set for Harry Potter fans who want complete LEGO minifigures of their favorite stars from the Wizarding World.

Animated Favorites & Anime Characters

The Simpsons Family

Springfield's legendary fast-food joint has finally arrived in LEGO form. The Krusty Burger set recreates Homer's go-to eatery with a kitchen, dining area, restroom, and drive-thru—all packed with Easter eggs that longtime fans will recognize instantly.

The set includes seven minifigures: Homer, Bart, and Lisa Simpson, Farmer Krusty (from his Mother Nature Burger commercial), plus three first-time characters—Sideshow Bob holding his trademark pie, Squeaky Voiced Teen with a mop, and Officer Lou keeping watch with a coffee. Homer's iconic clown car from the "Homie the Clown" episode sits ready for the drive-thru.

Lift the roof and fold out the walls to reveal a kitchen with an ice cream machine and Buzz Cola dispenser, a seven-seat dining area with a ball pit, and a bathroom with a broken mirror. This is the first major Simpsons LEGO set since The Kwik-E-Mart in 2015.

One Piece Characters

LEGO's collaboration with Netflix and Tomorrow Studios brings the Straw Hat Pirates to brick form. The 2025 collection includes the Going Merry Pirate Ship with Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. The Baratie Floating Restaurant set features 10 minifigures, including Vice Admiral Garp, Dracule Mihawk, and other beloved characters.

Key One Piece Sets (2025):

• Going Merry Pirate Ship: 1,376 pieces, 5 minifigures, $119.99
• Battle at Arlong Park: 926 pieces, 5 minifigures, $79.99
