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.

I agree, Todd.

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. I agree that some of the older space fig robots aren't yellow
headed, nor is Darth. But I'd call them minifigs anyway.

Skeletons, monkeys, Jar Jar, the new robot... all fail.

Todd is right, though, fuzzy associations actually allow for more
precision.

To each his own.

(...) 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. (26 years ago, 8-May-99, to lugnet.general, lugnet.starwars)
