Thanks for doing this -- it's a start on a great resource. I question one of the faces you have posted, however.

I enjoyed it a lot, but one thing is bothering me. Do you count heads with an open stud different from one with the same pattern with a closed stud? Just curious.

Hmm, it works for me. I click on the "minifig browser" part of the navigation bar at the top, and then I get a drop down menu (left side of page) to pick a theme. I pick a theme and, voila, the Brickset info on minifigs for that theme appears. In (...) (22 years ago, 28-Aug-02, to lugnet.build.minifigs)
