BrickList: All sets with the pre minifig minifigs

All sets with the pre minifig minifigs

I am quite surprised that no one so far has made this list!

Here are all the sets with the pre minifig minifigs. They only lasted from 1975 to 1977. The figs already have a yellow head but no face. And no moving arms or legs, just a slightly glimpse of arms and feet.

Men got on their head a cap or cowboy hat, women got the famous pigtail. A 1x2 plate becomes a belt or a neckerchief for cowboys. So, 4 parts with up to two additional parts made a minifig in those days. In 1980 there was a cameo of this sort of minifig, find out in which set that was!

The list is in order of the set numbers.

10. 365: Wild West

I got it in my childhood. Also the paper baseplate made it through the years, but not the stickers. I recently found three of them sticking on the right bricks on the LEGO Fanwelt 2012 in Cologne, lucky me!
