Posted it before sometime, but anyway - I'd really like to see this part moved:   *  65578 Bar 1L with Angled Hollow Stud Parts: Bar Why I think it's not a utensil: It doesn't represent anything, like a guitar, a shovel, a suitcase etc. It is used to make minifigs jump or fly, so it's at best a utensil for the builder, but not in-world. (Utensil = "For items that cannot be worn, are intended for minifigure use, and are not weapons. Some may also be used by micro and mini dolls.") Why I think it's a bar: It's basically a bar with a stud, much like this:   *  32828 Bar 1L with 1 x 1 Round Plate with Hollow Stud Parts: Bar And we're likely to see more and more uses where it's simply used for its shape and not as a minifig stand. After all, the 3x4 bases of collectible minifigs are 'tile modified' too even though they debuted as minifig stands.

It is a bar with a stud. Or it is a stud with a bar. It is not a utensil, as if Mr. Minifigure asks Mrs. Minifigure, "Honey, where's my Posing Stand?" and Mrs. Minifig [...] (33 months ago, Sep 11, 2021, to Catalog Requests)
