Random minifig of the day: sw0965

"Why everyone saying no minifig here? Is it because of the crotch gun?"

Nah, they had one of those in From Dusk Til Dawn, and while it didn't make any sense at all, it could easily be printed on the legs assembly.

Annoyed! That would work if you could fit that in the song.

"That’s a biiiiig minifig! "

It ain't even a bigfig!

To be fair I’m pretty sure that’s a nose gun

Can it be that Huwbot pranked us (it's the last day of carnaval after all)?

Because this is, as sorry as I am to be minifig-ist, no minifig. ;-)

God-awful movie!!! Blech!! Except for Salma Hayek. She was smokin' hot!

That's not a minifig.

Dave Bautista had a crotch gun in Glass Onion.
(He had a pocket in his swimsuit that he put a gun in. It was terrifying.)"

There's also the guy in From Dusk till Dawn..

"Where’s crocodile Dundee when you need him? "

You mean "That is not a knife! THIS is a knife!"?

And "Ez nem egy minifigura!"

To nie jest minifigurka

That's not a minifig, nor a jigglypuf seen from above.

Da's geen minifig....

"T'aint no lil' man, I tells ya"

Well, it does have "Dwarf" in its name.

This is not a minifig.

(It's a *photo* of a minifig.)

Look, it's a crab droid!
Huh? What's that? LEGO is too lazy to design a crab droid? So they just plopped one of these in 75337 instead? Gotcha.

Dónde está la minifigura?

Qué yo la vea!

This's no mini figure, it's a space station! WOOO!

(Twister and a SW reference in one!)

You didn't look at what brick_r posted, did you?

"Gotta say, that’s a pretty loose use of the term ‘spider’ too"
Well, it's far from the first Lego "spider" to have fewer than eight legs... *Side-eyes the Visorak*

I didn't have time to read the other comments, but this is not a minifig.

Here's a build listed as a minifigiure and it's only figure part is a single droid arm :\

The bricklink catalog is getting worse as time goes by :\

@CapnRex101:
Just wait until they start making sets based on DC’s Mogo or Marvel’s Ego…

That's not a minifig

Don't blame it on the minifig(s) or Huwbot. It's the database of that {thing) that got messed with.

What's with the unsightly blue pin on that 'minifig'?

Droidekas being counted as minifigs makes sense to me since they're roughly minifig-scale, are considered general mooks for minifig battles, and are often put in the lineup of minifigs in set photos (though usually not included in the lineups on boxes; hmm). Dum-E being counted as a minifig is a bit of a stretch as even though it's a named "character" (insofar as being a robot arm that exhibits a small amount of personality) there isn't really a consistent build for it across the sets that it appears in (while Droidekas have gradually evolved they often settle into certain build formats for periods of time), so it feels more like a side-build. That said, in general, I'd probably consider anything that would qualify as an action figure in another toyline to be a minifig.

Dwarf Spider Droids are miniature tanks, not characters. I don't *think* Hasbro would label a toy one as an action figure; I don't really see this as a minifigure. It's a defined side-build of a particular subject matter. This particular one uses minifig-categorized parts, which is a point in favor, but not a great one.

@CapnRex101 said:
"By the technical definition, a figure requires two standard minifigure parts to be considered a minifigure and the Dwarf Spider Droid includes the torso and arm from a Battle Droid, so...

This is not a minifigure.

To address this briefly, I would not consider this a minifigure for the reason @Rimefang mentioned. If the Dwarf Spider Droid is a minifigure, the same should really be applied to Homing Spider Droids, Vulture Droids, Droid Gunships and others. However, that decision is in the hands of BrickLink.

Personally, I would place the cut-off point at Droidekas. I think people would expect to see them on a list of Star Wars minifigures, but not the Dwarf Spider Droid."

OK, so what is the largest set we can find in the database that is "officially" a minifig by virtue of having two or more minifig parts built-in?

I'd buy a new and complete Ego Minifig for the standard price of € 2.50 - 4.00

That’s not a minifig, that’s just a picture of a minifig

This is like "The Good Place" when someone calls Janet a "robot". She replies. "Not a robot." If someone calls her a girl, "Not a girl."

Huwbot posts a "minifig" that has no minifig parts...so people (accurately) reply "Not a minifig."
Consider it training for Huwbot's AI.

This minifigure is bigger than a lot of sets.

Toto opravdu není mini figurka

I agree with m'learned colleagues' judgements. This is not a minifigure.

Minifig? No, this would be his true form.

Let me just say that the design of those spheres are very elegant. The way that the half-sphere inner sections pop in easily but stay secure enough is very well designed.

They can rotate seamlessly without popping out, and the anti-stud pattern and technic axle hole makes them versatile. A great solution to the problem of putting a sphere in a square-centric world (Lego).

@CapnRex101 said:
"Well, technically those Battle Droids elements are not considered minifigure parts. The two or more elements need to be a standard head, torso or legs. There are plenty of sets in which undecorated minifigure heads have been used as part of something other than a minifigure, but I am not sure about the torso or legs."

Aside from the ship's figureheads I previously mentioned, best I can think of is they used to use two sets of miniquin legs on horses from that era. Those aren't technically minifig legs, though.
