I NT RODUCTI ON Monochrome minifigures (in short called monofigs) are LEGO minifigures assembled with 9 parts all in the same color: A head, a torso, 2 arms, 2 hands, hips and 2 legs. Currently there are 37 completable colors, so a full set of monofigs consists of a total of 333 different bodyparts. It can be a daunting but very fun and rewarding task to complete all colors. This guide will focus on the completable colors with a large photo and a short description along with some facts and trivia about each color, and you will learn the answer to all of these questions: Which color was the first to be completed in 1979? Which color has taken 23 years to complete? How many monofigs can be completed from discontinued colors? Which colors are only missing a single bodypart to be completed? Some colors are easy to complete, while others can be more challenging (and/or) expensive. Each monofig has been given a difficulty rating ranging from “easy” to “very hard” giving you an idea of how much work (and money) will need to be put into assembling each of the colors. On the following pages you can see a preview of the main sections of the guide. You can buy a copy of the book here: WWW.MONOFIGS.COM
