  Unfortunately, most of the snowman builds should have never been entered into
the catalog as minifigures, and the ones that are already in the catalog will
most likely be removed at some point in the future.

As a general rule, we are no longer accepting it if it is just a generic snowman
and not meant to represent a specific festive version of another minifigure (such
as the snowman R2-D2).

Okay, this makes sense to me.

So the Iron Man Snowman would stay,


^ This one would most likely be removed.


  Rebel Pilot Snowman,


^ This one would have to be discussed.


  R2-D2 Snowman,


^ Definitely would stay.


  Imperial Pilot Snowman,


^ This one would most likely be removed.


  Gonk Droid Snowman?


^ Definitely would stay.


  These would all stay, as they represent a festive version of another minifig.

Wouldn't that mean that
76267-6 should have a minifig entry (Iron Man Snowman with top hat)
76231-18 (Snowman in Thanos Armor)


Nope. These do not meet the newest guidelines.


  I would create an entry, but I don't own either of those, so...

  The numbers are unimportant due to the fact that many of them will most likely
be removed at some point (for example, hol161).

Since none of the um... (for lack of a better word) effigies will be affected,
okay, that makes sense to me as well.

Perhaps someone who owns those sets will create an entry for those, and someone
can finally complete their Snowman effigy collection.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.

By the way, I submitted my change request, before I saw your response. Just for the record. I wouldn't have submitted it had I seen your response first. Sorry.
