Number 2 in our LEGO Quick Build series is actually a group of three characters coming to storm your desk. These are small figures using minifig helmets that you can build in just a few minutes. Usually I keep at least one or two small builds on my desk, and these guys just feel perfect for the job.

My initial idea was to build a stormtrooper figure and I decided to use my favorite one (the helmet at least), which is the First Order Stormtrooper. Right after I started building him, I thought that Boba Fett would look so much cooler and I dropped the trooper. And then I just built all of them! :D

Boba Fett

Here are the pieces that you'll need to create Boba Fett:

The build starts with the most powerful piece, at least in my book, the modified 1x1 brick with studs on 4 sides in black with two 1x1 black plates and two 1x2 jumper pieces on the sides.

Stormtrooper

After Boba I built the Stormtrooper too, which uses the same body with the same pieces, only this time in white and black only. The only difference is the back, where I've used a 1x3 plate to add two 1x2 wedges and one 1x2 ingot. The ingot holds also one 1x1 white plate to even it out.

Iron Man

I wanted to do something more dynamic and so I tried Iron Man taking off. It uses the same torso, but the legs are a bit different.

There you have it, three fun figures to play with. You can basically build any character using the body, and I would love to see what you will come up with.
