But by your definition, JarJar IS a minifig:

"I agree it's gray. but to me a minifig has to have the torso capable of
accepting legs (per the def'n posted), minifig hands, and a minifig
head. "

The fact that he doesn't come with a standard minifig head doesn't change the fact
that his torso can take one.  Pop a smiley on him, and he is 100% minifig.

(...) No, you're reading it too fast because I wrote it too fast... (...) Capable, HAS, HAS. Jar Jar doesn't HAVE the minifig head, he's only capable of having it. The HASes were implied. (27 years ago, 8-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
