Skeleton

Year released: 1995

Theme: Pirates/Castle (originally)

Bricklink ID: gen001

As far as iconic LEGO minifigures go, the classic “floppy arm” skeleton is hard to beat. Introduced in 1995, it saw widespread use across a range of themes such as Castle, Pirates, Adventurers, and many more. The figure was eventually phased out by designs with clip-and-bar arm connections starting in 2007.

While the characteristic “floppy arms” might have been somewhat impractical for posing, this minifigure still holds a special place in the hearts of many LEGO fans, and serves as an icon of the 90s era.
