A printed head can completely change the appearance of a minifigure, from friendly and cheerful to serious, spooky, robotic, alien, or unusual. This collection includes standard minifigure heads, mini-doll heads, dual-sided designs, creature heads, robotic faces, and other printed styles. For more background on how these parts developed, see our guide to the history and design of LEGO® heads.

Browse LEGO® Heads by Type

Different head styles suit different figures and custom builds. Standard minifigure heads use the familiar cylindrical shape, while mini-doll heads have softer, more rounded proportions. Dual-sided heads feature two printed expressions on one element, allowing the character’s appearance to be changed by rotating the head.

Browse LEGO® Heads by Colour

Colour is often one of the first details to consider when choosing a head. Yellow provides the classic minifigure appearance, while nougat shades, brown, black, transparent, and other colours can help match an existing figure or support a custom character design.

Browse LEGO® Heads by Expression

The printed expression determines much of a minifigure’s personality. Smiling, smirking, angry, sad, crying, worried, and unusual faces can help set the mood of a custom character or provide a closer match for an incomplete figure.

Collection filters can provide more precise results using visible details such as age appearance, alternate expression, emotion intensity, eye colour, eye direction, eyebrow style, eyelashes, mouth type, teeth visibility, scars, freckles, wrinkles, and print coverage.

Browse LEGO® Heads by Facial Feature

Facial hair, glasses, eyepatches, masks, makeup, and other printed details make it easier to narrow down the look you need. Use these collections alongside the available filters to find specific combinations of facial features.

Browse Special and Non-Human LEGO® Heads

Not every printed head represents a standard human face. This section includes robotic, skeletal, alien, zombie, animal, pixelated, and seasonal designs suitable for custom figures, fantasy builds, science-fiction scenes, and display projects.

Find a Head by Visible Details

You do not need to know the exact part number to narrow the collection. Combine filters for expression, eye design, eyewear, facial hair, facial markings, makeup, mouth shape, head mould, species, character type, and other visible characteristics.

Available attributes include eyewear colour, facial-hair style and colour, eyebrow shape and colour, freckles, dimples, beauty marks, scars, wrinkles, eyelashes, lip colour, eye damage, alternate expressions, double-sided printing, and the area covered by the print.

How to Identify a LEGO® Minifigure Head

Start by comparing the visible details on the head, including its base colour, expression, eye design, facial hair, eyewear, markings, mouth shape, and whether a second face is printed on the reverse. The filters on this collection can help narrow the possible matches even when you do not know the exact catalogue number.

Each product page displays identifying information such as the MPN and Element ID. Once you have found a likely visual match, compare these identifiers with the product images, print placement, base colour, and any reverse printing before selecting the part.

Small differences in eyebrows, eye highlights, mouth shape, cheek lines, facial hair, or alternate expressions can indicate a different version. When an exact replacement is needed, do not rely on the character name or general expression alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy LEGO® minifigure heads individually?
Yes. Individual heads are useful for replacing a missing part, changing a figure’s expression, or creating a custom minifigure without buying a complete set.

How can I find a LEGO® head without knowing the part number?
Use the collection filters to combine visible characteristics such as colour, expression, eye style, facial hair, glasses, facial markings, mouth type, head shape, and print coverage. Once you find a likely match, check the MPN and Element ID shown on its product page.

What is the difference between an MPN and an Element ID?
The MPN identifies the particular part or printed design used in the catalogue, while the Element ID helps identify a specific part and colour combination. Both identifiers are shown on our product pages to help customers confirm an exact match.

Can I use any head on any minifigure body?
Standard minifigure heads are intended for standard minifigure torsos. Mini-doll heads have different proportions and are designed for mini-doll bodies, so they may not provide the expected appearance when mixed with standard minifigure parts.

What is a dual-sided LEGO® head?
A dual-sided head has a different printed expression on the front and back. Rotating the head allows the figure’s expression to be changed, usually with hair or headgear covering the unused face.

How do I identify a double-sided head?
Check whether the element has a second expression printed on the reverse. You can also use the double-sided and alternate-expression filters when browsing the collection.

How can I check whether a LEGO® minifigure head is genuine?
Compare the mould, plastic finish, print alignment, colours, and identifying details with trusted reference images. Poorly aligned printing, unusual surface texture, incorrect colours, or an unfamiliar mould may be warning signs, but no single visual feature proves authenticity on its own. Wear and age can also affect genuine used parts.

Why do two similar LEGO® heads have different catalogue numbers?
Heads that appear similar may differ in expression, eye detail, eyebrow shape, facial markings, reverse printing, base colour, print placement, or mould variation. These differences can result in separate catalogue identifiers even when the overall design looks nearly identical.

Catalogue databases may also reorganise or link entries when previously separate mould variants are later treated as related versions of the same basic design. Because BrickLink catalogue numbers, LEGO® Design IDs, and LEGO® Element IDs serve different purposes, compare the identifier shown on the product page together with the colour, print, mould, and product images when confirming an exact match.
