Ok, so this might open a can of worms, but is there a reason why some statuettes
are minifigures and others are minifig, untensil, decorated?? Or is it just
up to whatever the person who adds it feels like doing?

My sense is that if they were supposed to be a small minifig then it was added
as such and if it was used as an actual statue/toy then it was added as a utensil.
Astronaut guy doesn't seem to follow the pattern.

Yep.

I tried to have this fixed almost three years ago and was rejected by the catalog
admins at that time without even an explanation.

You are exceptionally polite in your persistence.

Hence the reason why I communicate with users about every Inventory Change Request
I do not approve. Users deserve that respect.

The intention of the recent update to this page:

https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=170

was to clarify situations like this. Take a look and see if it does.

If it doesn't, then please offer suggestions on improving the standards so
that it is clear where individual statuettes should go.
