Yes, yes I am.
In fact, I have to stop myself, (often) from offering to send misc hats and hair
pieces to the owner of creations that leave head studs exposed.

I wouldn’t go so far to call them poor builders. However, I deny them the sense
of aesthetics. It’s even worse if somebody builds a train and the passengers are
bald Space figs and Castle figs.

Perhaps the train is being ridden by a bunch of aging AFOLs.

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 
then its all ok

Eek, but then you can see {inside} his head to where his brains should
be! While bald solid-studded minifig heads are bad enough, those poor
souls who lost their brains through the holes in the tops of their heads
are pitiable.

No, you are absolutely right .. What was I thinking..
figs without their head studs covered are indecent. Thanks for setting me
straight :)

No, they’re not brainless, they’re hippies.
Although it’s true that they have no noses
from which to
scoop the brains out...
What concerns me is the significance of the
solid-stud heads. Are these older figs
all Amida Buddhas? Or
have they visited the “corrective phrenologist”?

Well that took a bit of reading to get to the bumpy head part ;p... but
it is funny thought.

Having seen the shear amount of creativity that is being put in to MOC's, I
consider these to be a form of art. So, as long as the baldness is fuctional, I
have no problem with it :-)
With friendly greetings, M. Moolhuysen.

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.

Dude, the Mace Windu minifig wants to have a serious conversation with you.

I read that as Pedalofigphobia, something completely different.

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 pleasant.

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. Spider-Man is fine, Mace Windu is fine, the
soccer player with the headband is fine... I’ve even made custon Star Wars
cantina aliens that seem quite normal to me now. There are two characters from
the upcoming Batman line that are “bald” that I had to draw comics for, and they
didn’t make me flinch (from the upcoming ‘Batman vs. Male Pattern Baldness’
set).
So I guess the cure for peladofigphobia is to draw comics with hatless
mini-figs!

p.s. However, I still find the figures with hair PRINTED on their face a little
strange.
