(...) Was it? I seem to recall owning a few classic space sets before my sister got her Kitchen homemaker set. What was the release chronology? Some time ago there was a discussion of "first minifigs," but I can't locate it at the moment. Dave! (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) The minifig as we know it was originally a baby in another scale. My guess is it was adopted as-is to make large scale building easier (ie, reduce the overall scale) without designing/sculpting/tooling up machines for new figs. eric (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

selectivly compressing the minifig. The minifig is too wide for its height and that makes it impossible to truly build to minifig scale. Does anyone know the reason for the selective compression? (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)

(...) I agree. Models that consist mostly of one colour are normally boring. However, the use of different parts in the Shiva gives it a cool texture which works very nicely! Cool model, and very inspirational. Fredrik (24 years ago, 10-Jun-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.minifigs)
