Sloped Minifig Leg 3817b is wrong

[Sylvain Sauvage]

Then I found this image. I think it comes from the original minifig patent document.

Notice the offset of the centre line through the foot.

Is there a way out of this?

(There’s several copies of that technical drawing and they all purport to be from one patent application or another (USA, Australia…).  AFAICT, they all show the same offset.)

That makes the minifig out-of-system.  So we can’t use them for telamons.

Another question is: What does that imply for the geometry of a sitting minifigure?


Also, for what it’s worth, LDD has them totally in-system (that is, if you place a 1x1 plate in the back antistud and one under the foot, the two form a perfect 90° angle).  But then LDD and accuracy….
