Hahahaha. Damien, this is great stuff. There was this cartoon I watched in the
early morning in 96-97 (on UPN) about this teenager and his kid sister who
fought crime/bad guys with a cornucopia of various mecha and bots. The bright
colors and form of this are reminiscent of that show. Cool.
As for your other comments, I agree that the Company needs to create a series
that appeals to both genders. My younger sister was given the initial line of
Belville sets (park, "ranch", family room) and I think *that* step to address
the need for bigger figures was a step in the right direction, but to have *all*
sets targeted at girls was not. A year before and even following these sets was
the time of the subtheme Paradisa for minifigures. This theme had a feminine
tone but that's just like saying the police station had a masculine tone. THOSE
sets were a great addition to a town layout and also provided some of the best
parts to date. ;-)
Now, Scala, I'm not going to even touch upon that. But I would like to say I
want some of those odd parts and there so hard to track down (particularly the
table tops...).
