You are right ... I will take some pictures of my "unique" figures and do a
little table/writeup about them.  Designing those guys alone is almost as fun
as
building structures (if not more fun for myself - I like to get lost in my
little lego world;).  But ... they still have to have some kind of environment
to work in, eh?  I designed one of the Deamons using Darth Maul's head ... and
another using Sting Rays's heads ... and the Mummy's.  Darth has wings - I'll
try to take some snaps of him this weekend.
