Mini-Fig Survey —Leah Cardaci
Hi everybody. :-) I thought it would be fun to have a mini-fig survey. I had two different things in mind for this survey, so I used two different terms to better express what I was asking. A “character” is a fig that you have given a name, a (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Joel Jacobsen
	(...) Ooo... good survey! (...) I think it was around the time that the Pirates came out and we began seeing figs with more than just smiles on their faces. I made a camp of elves (loosely based on the Elf Quest graphic novels by Wendy and Richard (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —John D. Forinash
	(...) I don't know which was the first, but I conjured up a half dozen minifigs to use as figurines for a D&D game way back in ancient history. (...) Hm. If you want to include space people, the first was probably Tex, captain of my explorer ship. (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Bradley Dale
	(...) I don't give my custom minifigs names, backgrounds and personalities. I let them live their own lives. I made the cast of Jurassic Park once, Hammond and Nedry turned out great. And my LEGO Superhero, Timmy Torso Man! (...) I wouldn't call any (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Mini-Fig Survey -2- —Richard Noeckel
	(...) ++Great line of Questions Leah!!! O.K. I've got a few more question for everybody. 11. ‘Who’ has the “LARGEST Castle army in the world”! (Not counting TLC)? 12. ‘What’ is the amount; in independent ownership? (Over 5000)? 13. ‘What’ is the (...) (23 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

		Re: Mini-Fig Survey -2- —James Brown
		(...) I'm not sure how this slipped below my radar... My actual "army" isn't very big at all, actually. I've got 150 'figs under arms, and about a dozen or so characters on top of that. My wife's BF army is a bit larger than that... probably about (...) (23 years ago, 9-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

			James I noticed that you mentioned that your wife had quite a few Black Falcons. How many does she have total? (...) I am trying to determine who has the largest collection of Black Falcons. I would be interested in know how many actual black falcon (...) (23 years ago, 10-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Jeff Stembel
	(...) Hmmm, that would probably be one of the various minifig "me"s that I've made; most likely from Town. (...) Auld Dragon was my first, but he started out as my Castle minifig "me." :) Last would prolly be... hmmm... I'm not to sure, actually... (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Christopher Pisciotti
	(...) Just created my first bunch. I'd previously modified, ie changed arms, legs, but never thought about creating characters until I saw Wilson Raska's Castle World stories. I did use samurai armor and Rock Raiders helmets with police figs to (...) (23 years ago, 28-Feb-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Jimmy Park
	(...) Just out of curiousity, I noticed that a couple of people felt that the Fright Knights was the best subtheme. Now, personally, I hated the Fright Knights. They almost singlehandly put me in my Lego Dark Ages while they were out (with Ninja (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

		Re: Mini-Fig Survey —John Carroll
		(...) Fright knights were the last straw that sent me into the dark ages. (it had been a slow decline that began with the dragon masters) I had no desire to get any of the FK sets at all. Ninj/starwars revived me. In retro spect The FK sets and fig (...) (23 years ago, 1-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

		Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Leah Cardaci
		(...) I think basically what people liked the FK for was the non-Willa figs. IMHO, the figs with the silverball mail, silver breastplate, and red fleur-de-leis (is that spelled right?) torso, were great Castle figs. Even the Bat Lord’s torso has (...) (23 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

		Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Joel Jacobsen
		(...) I won't say that I thought it was the best, but it wasn't .bad. Lots of 2x2x?? black columns, the arches as others have said, the crystal ball, black dragons (as you said), I even like the large green plates to a degree - though actual base (...) (23 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Nathan McDowell
	(...) I had some futuristic Black Falcons that wore those black captain's hats (really don't know what to call them [it's too late for a coherent though right now], the police used them a lot though) and they were specific guys with specific (...) (23 years ago, 2-Mar-01, to lugnet.castle)

	Re: Mini-Fig Survey —Timothy Carl Buchheim
