I think I've finally found a rigged character for Blender 2.5 that looks great and is really well-rigged! And, it's free (Creative Commons)!
Character animation in Blender 2.5 with the Norman Rig - Video Manual from Ivo Grigull.
Addendum: Adding custom variants of the Norman Rig from Ivo Grigull.

Have some fun with these two rigged characters for Blender that are easy to understand and use. If you're just getting started with animation, they're rigged well enough to get you going without all of the confusion that a more complicated rig might cause.
You can download the blend files for the characters and read the documentation for the rigging, here.
You can thank FreakyDude for these cool characters in his discussion thread.
