> 1. What is the first character you remember creating?
Hmmm. I had an Octan girl, she didn't have a name, but she and her husband
(and octan guy with a red cap - both of them actually stock characters in
the Octan gas'n'wash set) ran a whole line of Octan stations, restaurants
and hotels. ;-)
If you're asking castle, then the first one was Felix; the second was Scar.
> 2. Of your current characters, which did you build first? Last?
Felix is still semi-exsitant, but I think Scar qualifies better, since she
is actively involved in... stuff.
The last one would be... Emmy and Benny, both created around the same
time... both are Daphne's childhood friends.
> 3. Do you have clear “good” and “bad” characters, or is it all relative?
Totally, totally relative, with a few exceptions (Gareth being a clear-cut
good exception, for example).
> 4. Have you ever built a MOC specifically for a pre-existing character?
Yes, basically all of my complete MOCs have been around my stories.

Figs: Way too many to count.
Characters: around twenty to thirty, maybe forty if you count suppporting
characters with less intricate bgs.
> 6. Which Castle subtheme has the best figs?
Tough one. I would probably say KK, for great faces and torsos, but the
problem is, there aren't any "grunt" soldiers there, so second place is RK.
> 7. Is there a type of fig you find easy to make? A type you find difficult?
A type of *fig*? I'm not sure. Peasants come easily, although I try to make
them unique. Soldiers are a bit more difficult, I try to make a good,
reasonable design for different factions of my army.
> 8. Have you ever bought a set just for the figs?
YES. And I don't know if it was foolish or wise. But I paid the $90 for
6091, and the results are Scar, Siffera, Cleo, Marck, Franz...
Also SW sets are awesome for figs. But the pieces there arte usually pretty
good, too.
Actually, I find myself more and more looking at other-theme sets solely for
their figs, and that's dangerous, since I don't have that kind of money to
waste!
> 9. Which non-Castle theme is the best source of Castle compatible figs?
Undoubtly, SW.

Both at the same time. A random background is easier; one that somehow ties
into my story is much harder. I love the challange of creating someone new
that works in with everything. But like Leah, sometimes it all just flows
together and makes sense, too.

| Hi everybody. :-) I thought it would be fun to have a mini-fig survey. I had two different things in mind for this survey, so I used two different terms to better express what I was asking. A “character” is a fig that you have given a name, a (...) (26 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)
