Easy answer: Figures differ from props in several ways, not just moving parts. You can't use alternate geometry with a prop. You can't use MAT poses with a prop. You can't parent props to props (well, there is a way, but it's not guaranteed at all). My "prop" involves both MAT poses and alternate geometry. Therefore, it must be a figure.

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
