===Head===
Minifigures have also featured unique head sculpts that differ from the traditional cylindrical shape; the first was [[Jar Jar Binks]], included in a Star Wars set in 1999 Since then various other minifigures like [[Yoda]], [[C-3PO]], [[Goblin (Harry Potter)|''Harry Potter'' goblin]] figures, [[Tusken Raiders|tuskens]], [[geonosians]], [[Zeb Orrelios]], [[Kit Fisto]], [[Plo Koon]], [[Davy Jones (Pirates of the Caribbean character)|Davy Jones]] and [[Bossk (Star Wars)|Bossk]] also use non standard heads. Kit Fisto was the first minifigure to not use an [[acrylonitrile butadiene styrene]] head, using [[rubber]] instead.<ref name="Lego Star Wars">{{cite book |last=Beercroft |first=Simon |url=https://archive.org/details/legostarwarsvisu0000beec/page/95 |title=Lego Star Wars The Visual Dictionary |publisher=[[DK Publishing]] |year=2009 |isbn=978-0-7566-5529-7 |pages=[https://archive.org/details/legostarwarsvisu0000beec/page/94 95]}}</ref> Traditional accessories, such as hairpieces, hats and helmets, cannot be placed on these non-standard heads. Some minifigures, such as [[wookiee]]s, [[gamorrean]] guards and [[ewok]]s use, instead of a normal head, a special piece, consisting of head and chest, which fits over the body. [[Besalisk|Pong Krell]] uses a similar piece consisting of a head, chest and two additional arms. The [[SpongeBob SquarePants (character)|SpongeBob SquarePants]] minifigure has a sculpted Lego brick head that fits like a standard head, covering the whole torso similar to the ghost figures, except that these figures use short or standard legs instead of a brick.
