Looking at the Star Wars sets, I'm wondering: how is R2-D2 categorized?
It's[1] not a mini-fig. But it is a character, so it should be more
than just parts.[2]
It's even worse when the red 'R2 Unit'[3] is thrown in for
consideration. This one isn't a main character, doesn't even have a
name, and is made out of more-or-less reusable parts.

[2] I got this mental image of some geezer in a droid store "yep, you
got yer one R2-D2 head, two R2-D2 legs, and one R2-D2 main body.
That'll be $23.95 all together")
