I think the 'Stifficanus' should be 'Rigorius'?
And the 'Erectus'? Aren't they really 'Mobilus'? I mean, even the Stifficanus
are standing erect.
What about the Minifigicus Maximus (or are those Maxifigicus
Neanderthalensis)?
They have faces, torsos, arms, but no real legs - and are much bigger. Are
they part of the evolution chain, or are they a dead end? Perhaps they are the
forefathers of Technifigus Mobilus?
