LEGO Minimoog Project Moving On To Next Stage
Designer Eliot O’Brien recently shared this concept for a 1:1 LEGO Minimoog on the LEGO Ideas site.
The site lets anyone share ideas for potential LEGO products, and visitors can vote on the projects that they like.
The project has already reached 10,000 supporters, which means that the idea will move on to the next stage.
Here’s what he has to say about the project:
“This project submission serves to honour the legacy of one of music history’s most iconic instruments. Captured at 1:1 scale, this faithful recreation replicates the look and feel of this legendary synthesizer inside and out. With rotating knobs and pitch wheels, pushable keys and a rotating control panel. The rear of the control panel is even removable, revealing the collection of circuits and electronics inside that truly bring this model to life!
As an avid electronic music listener and (very amateur!) producer. I wanted to make product idea that follows with my passion, and provides a great display piece for fellow music fans, that would fit right alongside other music-themed sets Lego has produced in the past.”
Because the project has reached the 10,000 supporter goal, it’s moving on to the next stage. Here’s what LEGO has to say about it:
“We now officially advance this project to the Review phase.
A ‘LEGO Review Board’ composed of designers, product managers, and other key team members will examine the idea. We’ll build concept models and determine if the concept meets our high standards for what it takes to be a LEGO product. This includes factors such as playability, safety, and fit with the LEGO brand.
Every potential LEGO product goes through a process like this and must meet the same standards.”
