Just about to part out some

 
Minifig No: nex117  Name: Clay Moorington - Dark Blue Helmet, Trans-Neon Orange Visor, Dark Blue Armor
* 
nex117 (Inv) Clay Moorington - Dark Blue Helmet, Trans-Neon Orange Visor, Dark Blue Armor
Minifigures: NEXO KNIGHTS

and I realise he appears to a bit legless. How do these get added to the catalog?

Many thanks,

I wish that hadn't been done. It would have been a lot easier to fix at
the time than it is now.

The legs simply need to be added to the catalog and then to the figure inventory.
It's essentially the same process now as it was then.

Pippyblocks, submit the legs here:

and add a picture here:

The process at the time was that he showed up in the list of minifigs that needed
to be inventoried. Now he still needs to be inventoried, but he doesn't
show up on the list. Is there a way to search for more like this?

Other than reading through all inventory notes, no. We discussed it at the time
administratively and decided that a partial inventory was preferable to no inventory
at all. I tried to add the word Incomplete in bold to inventory notes
for all partial inventories in the hope that someday we could flag these kinds
of inventories.

You can find all items with inventory notes by using the advanced catalog search
(currently 1,111 items). These notes are not searchable, which is one of several
reasons I've advocated for not including an additional note or inventory
note unless they are actually necessary.

Torsos are added with no pics all the time for people who submit assemblies only.
The torso assembly gets inventoried with a part that really only has a ghost
in the catalog, but it is better than nothing. If I were the king even that
wouldn't be allowed, but I would have much preferred that the legs were created
without a picture (assuming no render was available).

+1

I can't stand incomplete inventories and try to avoid them at all costs.
Some inevitably get through for things like gear items, but there really is no
excuse for having an incomplete minifigure inventory.

No probs Stormchaser, I'll do this in the morning, I'll add a picture
for the armor too as it doesn't have one for dark blue. Just wasn't sure
on the correct process.
