This LEGO minifigure doesn’t quite live up to her label. The mega-sized Roxie, newly unveiled at Legoland Windsor Resort, towers at an eye-watering 30 feet and tips the scales at over six tonnes.
These dimensions make Roxie the world’s tallest minifigure, but fret not, she’s not on a rampage—she’s here to race! The character is the face of excitement and adventure as the mascot for the Minifigure Speedway, the resort’s latest adrenaline-pumping attraction officially opening this Easter.

With a hefty £10 million (US$12.7 million) investment on the ride, the park is gearing up to introduce thrill-seekers to the first-ever LEGO-themed dueling rollercoaster. The addition pits Team Legends against Team All Stars in a high-speed chase that’s as much about strategy as it is about speed, reaching velocities of up to 56 km/h (34.8 mph) both forwards and in reverse.

While Roxie might not be constructed from traditional LEGO bricks, her creation by a specialist pit crew makes her a mighty build. The unveiling of the sculpture comes at a perfect time, as Legoland Windsor opened its gates this February half-term for visitors eager for a glimpse of the action.

“Roxie takes pride of place in our new attraction, Minifigure Speedway. There’s nowhere else in the world you can see Roxie, she’s entirely bespoke to us here at LEGOLAND Windsor—we can’t wait for everyone to see her!” expresses Helen Bull, divisional director at LEGOLAND Windsor Resort.
