?? You lost me. I think we're talking about current minifigs, not the
pre 197x ones, and I'm not too concerned about printing. My thesis, such
as it was, is that a minifig has to have a minifig head, of whatever
color and printing, but that just a head is not enough. It has to plug
into a minifig torso. Under my thesis, skeletons, Jar Jar, the new
droids, etc all are interesting, but not minifigs.
