Me too, please!

Is it that the lighting is too harsh? I've never tried photographing minifigs, but for other macro/still-life shots I made myself a light tent (a quick Google should find instructions) to minimise any shadows. At a pinch, you could try create a large 'tunnel' out of tracing paper (or some other opaque material) and standing the fig under it, making sure that the lamp is shining through the paper rather than directly onto the minifig. Best of luck!
