SpongeBob SquarePants (Minifigure)

SpongeBob SquarePants is a minifigure introduced in 2006, representing the main character in the SpongeBob SquarePants theme.
==Description==
SpongeBob SquarePants' appearance in his television show meant that his minifigure required an unusual design. He bears the shorter, non-articulated legs typically seen on child minifigures. Instead of a regular head, he has a unique sandwichboard-like part featuring his face that connects to the "neck" and slips down over the torso.
==Background==
SpongeBob lives in a pineapple under the sea. Eternally cheerful and optimistic, he constantly gets on the nerves of his egotistical and depressing next-door neighbor, Squidward. They both work at the Krusty Krab for the miserly, manipulative Mr. Krabs. SpongeBob's best friends are Patrick Star, a dopey, overweight starfish, and Sandy Cheeks, a spunky Texan "land squirrel" who lives in an air-filled glass dome just outside of SpongeBob's home town of Bikini Bottom. Frequent themes in the show include SpongeBob's never-ending efforts to get his boating license, and various devious attempts by Mr. Krabs' arch-nemesis, Plankton, to steal the recipe for the popular Krabby Patty.
