Favorite minifig with interesting history
I really enjoyed how the Lego chess king kept getting resurrected in KK1 sets 6091 & 4817 and was used in the my own creation Blacksmith Shop set 3739.
Favorite current minifig for the same reason as the chess king I am really enjoying the resurrection of Majisto the Wizard and the use of the Viking torso under the kings amour in the new castle line.
That's tough. Maybe a baby blue knight...with a sword that looks too spacey...on a horse with wheels instead of legs. Yes, that one.
In all seriousness, I love the brown studded torso Forestman. Especially in Mr. D's avatar. But the Knight's Procession figs are hard to beat. http://www.bricklink.com/ML/cas006.jpg
My favorite Pirate is: http://www.bricklink.com/ML/pi053.jpg
But I'm not sure why. I also like the tattered red shirt pirate. They're the closest to authentic (None of this nonsense striped shirt.)
My favorite custom is The Red Samurai. I can't remember his name, but you know who you are. The GG mask is brilliant.
I like Majisto, and was really happy to see the first wizard show up in a set.
I also love all the forestmen.
But I think my absolute favorites are the jousters in 383. (One of the earlier sets I got, and of course one of the first castle sets I got.) As a kid, I always used one or both of these guys as the hero.
