I thought I got all the coolest LEGO sets in history, but a reader pointed out what's probably the most shocking, darkest non-secret in its 50 years: a minifig wearing black tanga briefs. And when I say "briefs," I mean brief. All I can ask is why? Why Mr. Kirk? Why all this painful detail? And is that David Hasselhoff, per chance? [LEGO - Thanks Esteban]

You sure that isn't the Reno 911 set? Looks kinda like Terry.
I remember the speedo lego. either from actual lego or from Lego Island (my first computer game!)
And you all wondered why they were smiling all the time, didn't ya.
Since when do garbage men get to ride trikes?
that speedo comment made me gag on my coffee.
you could've at least shown the princess leia bikini lego
figure and made it worth cliking on the link. Come on Giz what's wrong with you!?
does he really need to be on a skateboard? the potential injuries are staggering.
someone needs to tell that guy that his thong is on backwards

A Lego Cop, A Lego Leather Clad Man, A Lego Construction Work, where's the Indian and the Sailor.
@nissan288: wtf's with the coffee gagging today?
backwards thong?
@Elliuotatar:LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@complexthings:
Right here: [static.blogo.it]
@complexthings: Damn you for stealing my thoughts.
Village People Lego Set for sures.
Sumo wrestler imo.
@HDC: "Your mom's a ukulele... Terry..."
I love Paul Reubens for playing his dad in the movie.
Why is there just one female figurine in the back?
My bad, there are a few female character- but certainly not enough to sustain a population of Lego figurines.
@DeadWriter: That's a man!
I'm far more concerned with the lack of women in professional roles. The only two professional women appear to be a nurse and a waitress. Damn you lego and your sexist "You may only wear the long hair lego piece or the hat lego piece at one time" misogynistic dogma! I'm burning my androgynous chest-and-arms lego piece in protest!
Really more the Lego cast from fight Club.
oh wow these bring back memories, i had all of these as a kid. i don't see whats so dark about it, i mean, did any of you see the crap that people were wearing in the 80's? dark would be a lego guy wearing knee high tube socks with two red stripes.
MINI-FIG PUPPIES FTW!!
"I see your schwartz is a big as mine ... now let's see how you handle it..."
The one in the pin-striped jacket standing next to Steve Irwin is pretty clearly a lesbian though...
I can just hear "Y.M.C.A" playing in the background.
I like the guy with the briefs. He wears briefs and eh doesn't afraid of anything.
were are all of the black lego men?
isn't it just two yellow legs with a black pelvis?
@digitaluddite: That's exactly what it is, but you see the fun is in using your imagination, get it?
Ahh, now you see, and are repulsed like the rest of us!
Lucky you. :\
Has anyone ever seen the Lego Bible? In the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, there is a pic of a Lego guy...ummm...doing something to a sheep...
This is it? Sheez...
When we (my brothers and me) were young, we used to make naked minifigs by taking the yellow space men and sand of the space logo of the torso.
Drawing boobies on them with a sharpie though, turned out to be quite difficult...
Hey! Don't hassel the HOF! Oh, sorry you're right to poke fun, carry on.
The fig certainly has "HassleHead", so I can see where you might suspect. Sometimes I wake up with HassleHead. Scary.
Switch the "l" and the "e" on that. Thank you.
I remember the "Speedo Man" Lego! Thats exactly what we called him: Speedo Man. I had a few of those dudes, he came as a wind surfer with his dune buggy, and another one with the speed boat yacht that floated on water.
Who's that suppose to be on the top-right on the red bicycle?
Eddie Munster?
Nah - it's just the "Village People" LEGO Collection_
the speedo was also in the LEGO Extreme sets, thats the first appearance that i know of. thats extreme as in sports, not attire.
Speedo is one thing. Speedo with a T-Shirt? Now that shit is frightening!
I always thought it was more than a little disturbing that LEGO's solution for putting a minifig in a swimsuit bordered on the obscene...
@digitaluddite: Hes black where it counts.
Oh, come on. You don't seriously thing this is the only set where a male minifig is wearing a plastic banana sling, do you? There are several minifigs in similar outfits. I think the worst is the one at the bottom of the first page who's wearing black butt-floss and a bomber jacket. Scratch that. It's the three guys on the second page who are wearing _armor_ with their jocks.
@dantaylor08:
Actually...she's got more modest trunks on, since they painted part of the costume on her thighs.
@papaguru:
I've seen better (yes, that's an old yellow Classic Space astronaut minifig). Sorry, I can't find a larger version anywhere, as it seems to have been deleted from both Brickshelf and MocPages.
@Dunechaser:
Come up with something better that doesn't involve (expensive) paint deco that'll just rub off anyways.
