- Do you find the appearance of a minifig with no hat, hair, or helmet to be unsettling?
- Do you find your minifigs to be incomplete without something covering that top stud?
- When veiwing the creations of others, do you find the appearance of a minifig with an exposed stud on its head an indication of a poor builder?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you are a
peladofigphobiac. You may wonder, what is a peladofigphobiac? Observe...
peladophobia- fear of bald people
fig- contraction of the term minifigure for the AFOL, a yummy treat to the
muggles
peladofigphobia- fear (or loathing) of minifigs with an exposed stud on thier
head.
My name is Felix Greco, and I’m a peladofigphobiac.

| (...) I used to and I still do if its a yellow fig head (or #shudder# pink head) However when the fig is clearly wearing headcoverings due to the printing such as this little fellah <img (URL) then its all ok -- James Stacey www.minifig.co.uk (18 years ago, 8-Dec-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) Yes, Yes, and Yes! (...) I too am a peladofigphobiac. And it's unfortunate, because my sigfig has to wear his hat a lot more than I do. I don't have enough on top to use a hair piece, but I certainly don't have a stud on my head. (2 URLs) Tony (...) (18 years ago, 8-Dec-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) That is exactly why I like the belville figs more. At least they don't have that silly stud on their heads.. .. Well, there are also some other reasons.. But indeed, a minifig without something on their heads is a poor show, and not very (...) (18 years ago, 9-Dec-05, to lugnet.general, FTX)

| (...) I USED to be. When Spider-Man came out, I thought it was sort of, well, WRONG looking. But after drawing all the AFOLs comic, and having a main character "bald," it all seems normal to me.
