[List of appearances]

A Skeleton is a Minifigure of various themes. Skeletons first appeared in 1995 in Pirate sets and have recently appeared in Castle and Atlantis sets.

Details

The body form of the skeleton has slightly changed over the years. For instance, the first LEGO skeletons had arms with ball and socket joints which allowed them to move all the way out to the side and all the way around. Skeletons in later sets had arms with normal pivot joints, like on a Battle Droid, that just move up and down. Also, the faces changed in the Castle sets. Classic skeletons had round eyes which gave them a neutral or even friendlier look to their faces than in the newer skeleton that has a slanted or evil look in their eyes.
