I think this one came up a while ago...you might want to search the
archives.
Anyway, "If memory serves me correctly", here's what was generally agreed
upon:
Minifigs are made of minifig torsos, minifig heads, and minifig legs.
Nobody argued that one.
Battle droids, skeletons, and Gasgano are at a sort of 'semi-minifig'
level. They're close enough that a lot of people call them minifigs,
mostly because they are meant to be "characters".
There may be an intermediate category between the forst two, consisting of
Jar Jar, Capt. Tarpals/Gungan Warrior, and (soon) C3P0. I personally put
them in the first category, but some people disagree on the grounds that
they do not have "minifig heads".
R2-D2 and such I place on the same level as the dragons/crocodiles,
although the R2 pieces are marginally more "generic" than the dragon ones.
I'd call Sebulba a piece because...well...he's one piece. No
articulation, no construction required. Just like snakes, bats, birds,
spiders, scorpions...
