I don’t know if we have ever done this before. Post a picture of your LEGO minifig representation of yourself. (This may or may not be related to something I want to do for the 10th anniversary of the LUG.)
This is my current sigfig combo. I’ve recently switched to a longer hairstyle, but kept the same face even though the beard is not quite right. The outfit changes to fit the situation.
Not being a mini-fig guy myself, and assuming there are other folks in the club like me, where might one find a digital tool for minifig creation to allow us to maybe respond to your request?
And trust me you do not want to see the front side of the “guy” in the my profile pic lol… (Haven’t found any faces in Studio…just the blanks).
Tim, I found this online tool you might find useful
I have been working on revamping my online presence when it comes to Lego. A Sig-Fig is something that comes with that. Give me a few days and I will get back to ya
Did better than I thought I would. Prob could use a more fitting head and maybe some kind of very short hair/hat, but it’s a start.
the problem with having a bald head as a distinguishing feature in real life is that the absence of hair is a less distinguishing feature in the LEGO world.
Let me get back to you. I have to dig up my woody legs.
Here is what I use as my Sig Fig in flesh and traditional yellow. The yellow one is more like my beard style but I could not find a good version of that in flesh tone yet. Of course there is always the thimbnail one I use which is an actual, 3D representation of my head!
Okay so I completely forgot to post pictures of this, and I have a pretty packed weekend, So here is the Components to my SigFig.

My sigfig has long been the 1979 police captain with the blue mug, the one I use for my profile pic on steelcitylug.com. I don’t know if you want a better pic of him than that. The original one from my childhood has aged considerably since 2005, to the point that he’s not really usable, but at some point I BL’ed a bunch as stunt doubles.

He is not complete without his mug:
I don’t remember how the mug came to be associated with the minifig, but it dates back to my childhood (my original heyday for building was 1978-1981). Until today, I thought it was because the mug was on his desk in the police station, but the mug isn’t even in that set. I could only have gotten it from the Knight’s Tournament set.

Maybe this will work.
I still dont know why my posts here wont upload. Tom, sometime tomorrow I will send you a PM with the picture of my Sig-Fig. I look forward to seeing what you do with it.
>> I still dont know why my posts here wont upload.
My step one is to reduce the pixel width of the photo to 1200. If you’ve already tried that, my step two is to complain loudly and bitterly about it on the forums but not have anything change. There is no step three.
Here is my completed sig fig, for now. This will likely change over time but I think it captures my look and the style of my builds rather nicely.
Seeing mini dolls are taller than mini figs, I’m going to go with this one, for now.
Mkay, cop-out.
I have to dig up my Woody legs.
This is the way.
Also: get a custom printed “Whipped Cafe” torso and we might be able to let the minidoll slide…
