Here's a topic or two..
I was just thinking... If you call the 'Town' scale people minifigs, what do
you call the Technic scale people? - Maxifigs??
Anybody else remember the really _BIG_ people? pre-minifigs? they had arms
like Technic, but were about 1.5 times the size with huge heads, thier lower
bodies were just regular 2x2's down to their feet which I think was a couple
of 2x3 plates.
there were a whole familiy of them, mum, dad kids etc must've been in the
early Seventies.
- Discuss.

| AFAIK, "maxifig" is the unofficial name for the "big people" of the 70's (the ones that you mentioned below), which are also called as "bendyarm"s. I haven't hear any approved term for technic figures, but I prefer calling them "technifigs"..:-D (...) (26 years ago, 28-Oct-98, to lugnet.general)
