| | Hi everyone, I hope you’re all having a great afternoon.
I recently bought a load of zotaxian minifigures. When they arrived I noticed
something strange, one of the grey overlord minifigs has a LEGO logo printed
on the back, and his legs appear to be glued to the torso. Any ideas why this
might be? Is he worth more/less?
Thanks in advance, Stan

Character based animals like these are a complete mess. None of them are minifigures
according to the LEGO descriptions.
|
Actually, the 2013 book LEGO Minifigure Year by Year: a Visual Dictionary states
that a minifigure must consist of the standard minifig parts, and shows that
figs like skeletons and mini dolls are not figures, as they do not use enough
regular figure parts to actually count as one.
Confusing, huh?
|
Not really on LEGO's side. LEGO's definitions are really quite clear,
at least for modern sets, as they state which characters in sets are minifigures
and which are not, using language like figures, characters, droids, etc when
they are not minifigures.
For example, Barracuda Bay: "The set has 8 minifigures including Captain Redbeard,
Lady Anchor, Robin Loot and twins Port and Starboard for pirate role-play action,
plus a shark, pig, 2 parrots, 3 crabs, 2 frogs and 2 skeleton figures."
They are also clear that C-3PO is a minifigure, and R2-D2 is not: "This immersive
build is a great way to relax and reconnect with your Star Wars passion. A Dewback
LEGO figure and 2 Landspeeders complete a wonderful display piece. Bring your
Tatooine scene to life with 21 LEGO minifigures, including Luke Skywalker, Han
Solo and C-3PO, new-for-October-2020 Ponda Baba, Garindan and Labria, plus an
R2-D2 LEGO droid figure" (from the Cantina.)
It is BL's definitions that are confusing and inconsistent.
|
The confusing thing is that they state they are not minifigures, then proceed
to include them and tons of variants in a book ABOUT minifigures

I'm not against this idea but I have a feeling the Admins/Bricklink will
be plus you also have to consider how far we can stretch things because if you
give every minifig two entries does that actually benefit Bricklink for the better?
I mean do we really want to see caped and non caped versions for each and every
minifigure for example? Well I would'nt have a problem with that either but
there are certainly some minifigs that would benefit a lot more from having two
entries and it may be better starting at these before overcomplicating the catalog
with too many entries when there is only one single part different between them

Probably not....

Either way given TLG only gave him a very basic minifig head as a body and did'nt
include arms or even his legs if he has them I think its clear that this area
of the minifig is supposed to be hidden out of view therefore making him seem
incomplete without the trash can to serve its purpose
