Lego's



Lego's is one of the most iconic toys there is out there. The form of Lego’s is very simple and playful because one alone can’t do much but many can make almost any other form. Lego’s isn’t like play-doh where it isn’t permanent but Lego’s bond strong together. The many varieties of Lego’s give a person many choices to express their creativity. Lego’s almost represents a unit of mass where anyone can play god and make anything they want. In the recent years Lego’s has let people be in charge of making classic scenes from movies such as Star Wars and Indiana Jones. The funniest part of Lego’s is having the ability to easily change these scenes to a person’s imagination.

The form of the Lego’s is unified by the same round nipple shape sticking out the block which then connects to any other Lego that has the round whole that fits the nipple. This universal use for the Lego lets anyone just pick apart pieces of a Lego and let their imagination go wild. The Lego can physically let people make toys of their own to play with rather than conforming to another toy. More and more Lego's are escaping the block form to a new sleek form which can make creations more realistic to toys now. The content for Lego’s is simple which is to build whatever you want to build from an endless option of  parts just like a mechanic or even God, it lets people have freedom they don’t have in real life. Other toy companies have tried to make unified by using magnets and rods, but Lego is the simplest one to be made into any form while still being a clear visual object. It would be easier to make a dog of Lego’s than a dog of play-doh.
