OK, here's one guy who won't be suing a rhythm game maker. That's because Queen guitarist Brian May paid strict attention to the use of his likeness, and insisted that his flowing tresses get a pristine Lego sculpt.

"I think my Lego character is wonderful. I want one," he said, according to BangShowBiz.com "We had discussions about the hair, there were a few emails. They had to negotiate to use my likeness, but it's a nice thing."

That's May's plasticy perm above, depicted with Lego Freddy Mercury in the game. May said a jealous Joe Elliott, the Def Leppard singer, called him up to complain that he didn't get a minifig version. "Joe Elliott rang me up and said he was pissed off because they didn't make one of him," May said.
