BRICKSTORY: What we call an “adult” in today’s modern minfigure scale, this figure was actually used as a baby back in 1979 along side the larger, brick-built figures of the Homemaker theme (see 263 Kitchen as an example). This use of modern minifigures as a baby or a child was done only twice: with this figure in 269 Kitchen as a baby with a bib, and as a child in the bath in 261 Bathroom). This Homemaker baby figure is fairly hard to find 42 years later, but nearly impossible to find with unique bib stick that gets affixed to vest piece (the same piece that was also used for construction workers and even for the Knights in the 375 Castle set). While not the most exciting minifigure, it does have some unique history and a great Brickstory.
