what would you put it as? nothing else comes to mind for the 'type' right now.. maybe jazzy will chime in and put my response to shame, since he seems to have the rulebook. ;)
I can see both of your points, and your both right, its a tough one for sure. As there are 5 we can't really use one-off either. If its recast by someone other than the manufacturer does it make it a bootleg? I think for ease I would just stick it in customs as its part of a custom blind-box series. However I'm definitely interested to hear others opinions. Wheres Mr. Toypinonated when you need him?
heres my opinion: if its a BB, why change it to mini fig? then people like me wont know its a BB, and i hate BBs (my username has nothing to do with BBs, believe it or not, i had it before i started collecting)... wanna know if its a mini fig? look at the size. easy as that.
like dan said. simplicity is the future. (because its better) =)

Should this really be categorized as a custom? I mean, they're resin cast from scratch, not altered existing vinyl toy.

I changed it to custom because that's what is it, IMO, but re-cast might work as well. Who doesn't like extra tags? :)

Noooooo to many tags!!!!!!! ;)
Simplify is the future.
All though I do always wonder wether blind-box figures should be differentiated from mini-figures?

That's why I came up with the custom. I hope no one's against it.
It's simple, blind box should be renamed into minis. :)

Look, there's another toy community on the web, where they actually categorize them as blind boxes: http://www.vinylgraffiti.com/...
