My vote would be to keep the count of figures as the number of mini-figs
(of course for Scala this should be the number of dolls, etc). I would
not count Sebulba as a figure.
There's actually a can of worms here... Why do we have this one count of
special pieces without any other special pieces counted? A possible
solution would be to add a 2nd field for number of large non-human
figures under which one would count R2-D2, Sebulba, Horses, Sharks, etc
(but not kittens, birds, snakes, bats etc). Then more complete data for
a reasonable category of special parts is being presented, and a good
solid line can be drawn. This is also a reasonable category to count
since there are standard retail sets which are esentially just
mini-figs. There aren't any standard retail sets which contain just one
other type of piece (other than bricks) (well, ok, there is base plates,
perhaps that category could be included, with a text field for
description of types).
