I've got to disagree about Majisto.  All the "specialness" on Majisto are
parts. Just parts, parts that can be removed from one fig, and used on another
fig. Without the wizard's hat, beard, cape and wand, Majisto is just a blue
peasant. No special torso, just a reuse of an existing pattern (umm, the
peasant torso did exist before the big M, right?).  In my mind, this makes
Majisto the *best* prepackage character/minifig LEGO has ever made.

That, and the fact multiple Majisto-figs make sense in a Castle setting.
(Unlike multiple Johnny Thunders in an Adventurers setting).

Yeah, I tend to agree that Majisto's torso is rather good for making peasants--
although I still wish I had more other colors of the peasant torso... offhand,
I can only think of grey, green and blue tunic torsos... I think the best would
be brown, and maybe also tan or white... but blue and green "should" be a bit
less common, I'd think...
