Yeah, I realize it's kind of a cheat, but if TLC is going to release sets on an
irregular schedule, what are we mere fans supposed to do?

I don't have any solid data to go on, but I'd bet that any of the other
individual playthemes had fewer than 13 new, unique figures released in a
12-month period.
If any playthemes did have more than 13 figures, it would be in either Castle or
Pirates, I think.

Especially the *great* part. Except for the Padme fig, but let's not talk about
that now.

R2-D2, R5-D4, and Battle Droid are definitely figs. Not minifigs, because they
don't use the right parts, but figs. It takes great creativity to use their
parts as anything else but what they have been designed to be.
Sebulba and Gasgano are also characters, can't do anything else with them, but
they're so cheesy I hate including them
Droid Star Fighter and the Pit Droids are also characters. They are made of
standard parts, but they're still characters. I tend to include them.
The Sith Spy Droid and Han Solo in Carbonite I included in my list just to be
completely thorough. I don't really think of them as figs or characters.
