Identify your minifigures
How to identify a LEGO minifigure from a photo
Photograph one complete figure in good light, review the suggested identity, then compare its face, torso, legs and accessories before saving. Superbrick can help find possible matches on iPhone and iPad.
Read the guide FIELD GUIDE / DISCOVERWhat LEGO set is this minifigure from?
First identify the exact figure variant. Then open its details in Superbrick and explore Where this minifigure appears. Catalog appearances show possible sets, not the proven origin of your physical figure.

Compare the helmet, head, torso, arms, cape and legs before choosing a Darth Vader catalog entry. Small differences matter when you identify, collect or value a figure.
