How to build LEGO H.E.R.B.I.E.

LEGO never made a H.E.R.B.I.E. minifigure, so here's a custom one you can build from real LEGO parts: 23 pieces, 7 steps, about 10 minutes. Free.

Ilmar Degen's original custom LEGO H.E.R.B.I.E.

Design by Ilmar Degen. This little guy is Ilmar's creation, first shared on Facebook. All credit for the design goes to him. We just turned it into step-by-step instructions so anyone can build one.
