Thanks, Sean.
An interesting twist on the Belville format
and theme, to be sure. I'm not sure I would like to
see Harry Potter et. al. taking over Belville
anymore than the other commentators in that
thread, but I can see where the Belville scale
would give designers more scope for
individualizing the dolls to match the characters.
Let's face it, the mini-fig of Luke is Luke only
because of the sets he comes with. The minute
lines on the mini-fig facewhile creative
require a bit of imagination.
A greater difficulty would be merchandizing
Belville to appeal to little boys. Belville is a
girl-oriented theme. Purple boxes, cute hearts
and numerous flowers do not create a product
setting with much boy appeal (IMHO). I buy and
build with Belville sets because I happen to like
the scale and because the particular sculpturing
and design of the faces appeals to me. Opinions
differ. I do not care for the Scala figures at all.
Putting Harry Potter into Belville would
also require a major color palette shift. The
pastels and pinks would not work well. I try to
imagine Belville in traditional LEGO System
Castle greys and black and my mind spins. It
would be neat, but it would not be Belville.
Other thoughts? Cheers, WES
