Although I didn't know it at the time -- a Castle Blacktron figure.

The Castle Blacktron figure first, Lady Blacktron figure last. Although
there were a lot of witches in between.

It's somewhat relative, but I think there are some semi-clear cut boundries
for characters to cross. I think it's more interesting when one realizes
that good or bad is often dictated by circumstances. It is my belief that
given the correct circumstances most people are capable of acts of both
undoubted virtue as well as appallingly unforgivable ones. Ask yourself:

That's practically all I am doing of late.

Sheeesh! I have built dozens of characters, but perhaps only a handful have
truly elaborate backgrounds.

Classic castle (Maiden, Queen, peasants, blacksmith), and original
Forestmen. I like positioning them in extremely dynamic poses as if they
literally used foliage as springboards and ran along the tops of branches.

Well, the Friar tuck hairstyle has been giving me some trouble...

Forestmen. I have most of those sets a few times over now...

I am partial to Blacktron I -- and I now have a rather extravagant amount of
those 5 sets and some of the Space Police (Blacktron I related kits) besides.

I think it writes itself if you give it time. And a lot of things flow from
fundamental components.

| 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)
