Governor Mister Phes Posted October 15, 2006 Governor Posted October 15, 2006 there must have been a change in 1996 within the LEGO group... because these unique character trends also appeared in other lines... this includes the pirate line. each of the imperial armada seem to be a unique individual as well (as i recall we have discussed this in another thread, Phes). however, their individual personalities don't seem to be as unique as with the western line. i can't imagine doing a "Pirate round up" with them... Redbeard and the Admiral would be more appropriate ;-)-------------------------------------------------- As far as I'm aware none of the Imperial Armada mini-figures had names so it was left entirely to speculation as to whom they were.

Brick Miner Posted October 15, 2006 Author Posted October 15, 2006 yes, but i already wrote... as far as i can tell, the western line paved the way for this unique character building techinque for later lines like adventurers or knights kingdom 2 (which fully established unique character building by idenifying names for every character).i don't think any line went full out by "naming" until the Adventures.... but im observing trends of full out unique characater building in 1996, two years before Johnny Thunder and the rest.-------------------------------------------------- it was left entirely to speculation as to whom they were.exactly, specualtion (or as i called it interpretation) is the whole point of this thread !!! we've already discussed this...now, what i'll do is write as much interesting stuff that i know about the minifig... then after that, it's open discussion. the discussion can include anything. it can be in response to my commentary, or it can be as far from my topics as you wish. that could included: how you use the fig in your MOCs (even if not Western) or how you use his parts in other custom figs... really anything goes...this will be a "series" that shows all the different ways the minifigs can be used, and/or interpreted !!! i think we are just going in circles Phes :-| - BrickMiner Quote

Norro Posted October 16, 2006 Posted October 16, 2006 and just because im over explainig eveything these days, this is worth mentioning...there is one western fig who does break the rule ONCE. but only in a small "bagged" set. and that is the black dressed bandit, who appears wearing dark grey legs and a brown hat, with a white bandana in set 6791... this is an oddity in the western world. but does provides Norro's argument (that he may not be a unique fig) with some solid evidence ;-) - BrickMiner I have that set (well 6790) andalso saw that as a reason that the black torso was not necessarily unique (although I feel it was intended to be, I just think it is easier to duplicate...)

Brick Miner Posted October 16, 2006 Author Posted October 16, 2006 Apparently so, I shall contribute no further.thanks for drawing some really good explanation out of me... i hope i answered your questions thoroughly. BTW, im curious, do you have any thoughts on the actually topic of the thread... FFT and the black-dressed bandit ???or do you just ask questions :-D ;-) I have that set (well 6790) andalso saw that as a reason that the black torso was not necessarily unique (although I feel it was intended to be, I just think it is easier to duplicate...)ok, now i see where you are coming from *sweet* good theory...anyone else who has different interpretations or theories... definitely share them !!! we've heard some good ones so far X-D - BrickMiner Quote
