41145-1 (Inv) Ariel and the Magical Spell
214 Parts, 2 Minifigures, 2017

Comments from Submitter:
I just realized that this part was still orphaned. Awkward since it is in a minifig, but it can be a counterpart, right?

No, this does not meet the definition of a Counterpart:

This request will not be accepted.

This is very likely something so massive that we don't even want to think
about it...but a possible solution to the minifig definition problem on the road
map is to create plain and deluxe minifigs. For any minifig wearing something
on its neck, hands, or feet there could be two entries: Plain with only strictly
minifig pars and one with everything that the instructions or box shows. If
we did that then this set could have the Deluxe Ursula and an extra amulet and
then a plain Ursula and a spued amulet as an alternate. It would give those
silly dressed up Belville dolls some actual legitimacy and would make room in
the catalog for the absolutely stunning Firefly seen on the box for 76117. If
you haven't seen that guy blasting off with his jetpack and firing a killshot
from his hand cannon go see it right now.

A lot of people like to sell Thor with a hammer or axe, Batman with a Batarang
and such. And all those minifigs with neck brackets attached to nothing but
their necks make sense only as a technicality to our rules. Practically any
customer would rather buy it either without the neck bracket or with whatever
was supposed to connect to it.

Does it meet the definition of anything else? It is all alone out in a cold,
cruel world.

Yes, it does. It meets the definition of a Regular Item. However, it follows
a stipulation from that same help page above:

"Parts on Sprues - Complete sprues are included in this section unless
some parts from the sprue are used in minifigures. In that case, the parts from
the sprue that are not used in minifigures are included in this section."

This is how these parts are handled in the inventories. Until a later time when
minifigs are just considered another possible assembly from a set and all of
their parts are included separately in the Regular Items section, these parts
follow the above guideline.

Cheers,
Randy
