Homemaker Figure

Homemaker Figures, also known as Maxifigures, were the figures used to represent people within various Homemaker sets from 1974 through 1982. They are composed of a head piece and one of several different types of hair pieces, with the rest of the body usually built from basic System bricks.
These figures, along with the LEGOLAND Minifigure were first released in 1974 and marked the return of figures to Lego since the HO scale figures released in 1956. After modern Minifigures were introduced in 1978, they would be used together with Homemaker figures to represent a baby or a doll.
These figures would later evolve into a similar Technic figure that made its first appearance in 1986.
== Notes ==
* Some hairpieces (man, woman) can be assembled in two configurations because they have two front sides, enabling to change the hair dressing with the same part (turning it). This allows, with the same part, to have both the boy and the man hair dressing, or the girl and woman hair parts.
* The arms could be made of several lengths (one, two or more) because they are made of several parts. This helps to recognize adults (double length) from children (single length).
* The arm parts have been used later for other purposes, including the arms of 6880 Surface Explorer or the 6822 Space Shuttle. In this new usage the hands have been replaced with grippers, for instance. The colours have moved from vivid colours (blue, yellow, red) for clothes to technical colours (grey, white) for arms and technical systems.
* The head has three attachments, two on the side (ears) one on the top. Hair pieces are fixed on the two ears and hats on the top.
