What is the piece that holds the pant legs together called? Is there an "official1" name? Or is there just a commonly agreed on term?

1Official meaning something mentioned, even in passing, by Lego in some way.

They are referred to as "Minifig Hips" almost everywhere: [partlink:970:4].

The LEGO Pick-a-brick service doesn't sell them without legs, and just refers to the whole construction as "Mini Figure Mini Lower Part":

Pick-a-brick Lower Body Part

    Since that's utterly boring, I suggest we just start calling the thing what it actually is: a thong. Or a speedo.

    @Joubarc Like the Beach Troopers from the LEGO Star Wars games? Apr 18, 2012 at 9:39

    And surely it's only a thong/speedo they are a different colour from the the legs, otherwise it's just waistband and flys/hips. Apr 18, 2012 at 9:43
  • I just call it a belt

  • I once used the hips as rollers in a set, they look a bit like that with legs removed Mar 9, 2020 at 11:05
