| Hi Fellow Lego enthusiasts,
I'd like to open a can of worms and state that Animals that are based on
Characters should be classed as Minifigures.
We now have "Brick Built" figures being included as Minifigures (EG: Unikitty
& Super Mario) However Animals that are Characters in their respective TV show
or Movie are considered Animals? (EG: Scooby Doo from Scooby Doo & Lotso the
Bear from Toy Story)
What are your thoughts?

Even LEGO is now confused as to what a minifigure is. Take a look at the press
release for their new Sonic the Hedgehog set, which hit fan sites yesterday.
Their press release refers to it containing five minifigures yet only one of
them has traditional torso and legs. Whereas they are more careful on their own
website, where they only refer to one minifigure.

That a great question. Here my thinking is anything that built by bricks should
be a mini build. an example of this is minifig sw0767 for example.

I don't see an issue with there being a category of Brick Built Figure and
encompassing that under the general "Minifigure" banner.
Examples of that being giant Ant Man and all of the Super Mario enemies.
I personally have a massive issue with we are now considering brick built characters
as minifigs however Animals are not!.
Also it's irritating looking at your collection in a digital setting and
it shows I own x number of Scooby sets but 0 Scooby Doo figures.
I also think if the character/figure is advertised on the box with the other
minifigs then it should be included Lego themselves are calling it a figure.

In the descriptions on their website, LEGO does not routinely use the word figure.
They use minifigure to mean things typically built from traditional minifigure
parts and character for other assemblies.

Errr OK, in which direction ? Did the Racer become minifigs or did the Cars move
elsewhere ?

So, are you suggesting that I can move my Racers from custom lots (where they
have been languishing for a long time) to designated minifigures ?

I think it would be a safe move.
