Hi everyone,

I am looking to custom print onto some Lego minifigs and am completely new to
all of this. For anyone who has experience, where do I source the parts that
I print on? Do the minifigs have to be completely blank to be printed on? I've
been tasked with sourcing parts for a minifig printing company and have no idea
where to begin.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Dan

Do you have a link/what to put in search? I am having a nightmare navigating
BrickLink at the moment. Thank you

For torsos, take a look here:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=973&in=P

They are a bit complicated as they get catalogued by arm colour, or you can just
search for "torso assembly plain".

Legs are easier,

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=970c00#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22UK%22,%22rpp%22:%22500%22,%22iconly%22:0}

 
Part No: 970c00  Name: Hips  and Legs Plain
* 
970c00 (Inv) Hips and Legs Plain
Parts: Minifigure, Legs

For both you probably want to restrict to new and UK sellers only, at least to
start with.
