Nifty! You might want to consider adding how initially, minifigs were used as
children for maxi-figs. And it’s not terribly important to evolution, but how
the little stripes are drawn onto the neck-peg for proper face rotation.
Hm. Also COULD put in that heads, torsos, arms, and hands are counted as one
piece in piece counts, and how legs and waists are a seperate piece. Could also
expound on the history of the plume-- or the first instance of mismatched
left/right arms and legs. Ooo, or how flippable visors changed after a period of
disappearing.
Hm. First appearance of minifig footwear? Hook hands? Peglegs? Cloth capes! Um.
What else.... Did you mention fleshy-color-figs? (I’m forgetting whether you put
that in or not)...
A neat idea!
