The LEGO Group’s April Fool’s Day gag for 2025 debuts some truly cursed minifigures that, thankfully, never saw the light of day.
After last year's 100,000-piece Minion model, a majestic horse in 2023 and an especially unnerving joke in 2022, the LEGO Group is returning to the latter for 2025's annual April Fool's Day tradition. This time, it's all about adding realistic hair to minifigures.
Of the many pranks the LEGO Group has introduced this time each year, the concept of minifigures imbued with synthetic hair is a special kind of cursed, and it's posited that this was trialed in 1975 – a full three years before the first minifigure debuted.
Hopefully, the images provided won't put you off minifigures entirely. Still, the LEGO Group thankfully pivoted back to plastic hair in time for the debut of minifigures – or that's how the April Fool's Day 2025 gag goes, at least. The LEGO Group has likely never considered synthetic hair for its minifigures, though they included such hair in the Scala dolls in 1997.
LEGO minifigure hair has come a long way since its origins, with all kinds of styles and colours that continue to innovate to this day. Whether the LEGO Group will eventually make good on this prank or not, minifigures don't currently have synthetic hair, and we should all be thankful to have avoided such a cursed reality.
Several sources across the LEGO rumour community are also getting involved in April Fool's Day this year, and there may be some truth to the pranks, but be mindful to take everything with an extra pinch of salt today.
