		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
(...) Haha, thanks for keeping the thread from becoming too tediously PC! :) Magnus (17 years ago, 1-Jul-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
(...) Though I am radical in my decision to use only "fleshies" on our train layout (but using all of the tones of flesh), I am quite traditional when it comes to faces. I would be perfectly happy with all of my figs being good ol' smilies. What if (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)

(...) Or, as I mentioned earlier, just include multiple wigs. It's cheaper, and skirts the gender issue completely. (sorry)(but not really) JOHN (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
(...) <snippage> Not at all. When you raised this issue at Brickworld during the Q&A, it got me to thinking. What do you think about the idea of simply including female wigs in every set? I mean, a fig is essentially gender neutral until wigs are (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, lugnet.general, FTX)

		WWE Superstars in LEGO
I'm not too proud to admit that over the course of the past year my girlfriend and I have gotten pretty into watching WWE wrestling. Last weekend we spent a day creating minifig versions of a bunch of our favorite WWE superstars and other wrestling (...)

		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
Hey, I highly agree. In my own theme-of-choice, castle, we get about one female fig for every 50 male figs. Of course, part of that is due to the over-emphasis on action and conflict, where most castle figs are knights and soldiers (traditionally (...) (17 years ago, 29-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
(...) Just a thought to add on that point; The cost of a few discarded figs is minuscule if it means more girls are buying lego sets. Imagine the profit to be made if both genders could share the fun of system. Profit... cha-ching. (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego)

		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
(...) That's not a bad workaround, as long as the printing on the faces remains gender-neutral. One need look no further than the Adventurers theme to see the problem there. But now that you mention it, that problem could be headed off (!) by (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
(...) LOL! You reveal your own ABS sexism by assuming that the woman would have to be decapitated! Why not yank off the man's head instead? Or why not include a headless body with the pair of heads alongside? Dave! (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

		Re: Building equality one female minifig at a time.
(...) I quite agree. Magnus has a point about what will sell, so I think the aim should be to make a few changes. I don't think the demand is for a perfect 50:50 split between minifigs across the range, but to start with a few changes. For example, (...) (17 years ago, 3-Jul-07, to lugnet.dear-lego)

Or even some trend lines. Or I'll settle for (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)

The problem with throwing a wig on a gender neutral face is that the "female" will either be butch or a plain Jane. My male troopers deserve hot counterparts! (17 years ago, 30-Jun-07, to lugnet.general, FTX)
