Name that Minifigure

[Richie T]

Hi all - picked up a little minifigure bundle on ebay and struggling to identify 3 of them - obviously we have Santa and the Ringmaster but struggling with the other. Have trawled bricklink but can't find anything similar!

Any help much appreciated!

Thanks Gregpj, out of interest did you happen to know what they were or just have a brighter search mind than I do?!

The only one I recognized was the torso on the woman in the middle (I knew it was in a bunch of recent sets like Town Hall) so I found the torso and figure that way. The other ones were just brute force searches, but I tried for the obvious parts. The one on the left - the chin strap is a quick one to recognize.

It also helps when you know part names... in brick link, if you type "hips with black legs" you'll find all the hips with black legs. When I saw no match, I tried to find the head with the funky beard, but that one escaped my eyes so I then decided to search for the torso. The vest pattern is pretty unique... so I typed "torso" in Bricklink and just scrolled through the results focusing on reds.

Tis an art form.

Well I appreciate the effort , although sounds like you enjoyed it anyway!
