Sigfig



Sigfigs are the minifigure representation of a User. They may be based on the user's real life appearance, or be completely imagined. Sigfigs are usually also the one and the same as the user's canon character.

Name
Sigfig is a  word used around various LEGO communities. It is short for "signature figure".

Uses
A user's signature figure is used as an avatar to represent the person, because including photos of humans in a creation is not allowed. It is customary for users to build their friends' sigfigs to take group pictures and sometimes to include them in Adventure Creations.

Relation to Canon Character
Usually a sigfig and canon character are one and the same, but sometimes a user may have different versions of their character and figure for different universes and timelines.
