I redesigned the Minifig Page, to make it more organized and easier to browse. I shamelessly borrowed the table layout from one of Pawel's pages(1), mostly 'cause I'm not very good with HTML. :) Anyway, I'd to hear people's thoughts on the layout (...)

(...) It looks like a Belville part. 5890 has two, one yellow, one white. I've also seen it in a few other sets I think (5808 has one I think, 5895 has one, 3117 has two), 3115 has an even bigger table (which is in two halves). (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)
