The problem I have with most scarf figs, is most of them have no character design. If you don’t know what I mean; You know how you can look at many Pixar/Disney characters, and just by there design and pose, you can tell what they’re all about? You can’t do that with scarf figures. They’re too simple to get any character out of. The key to character design is conveying the character’s personality, abilities, etc, as simply as possible by using different body shapes, expressions, etc, etc. I think Alan Becker explains it quite well in his: 12 Principles of animation: appeal video.
