Take a look at this news release from a few months back.

If they are indeed making NBA theme Lego I would hope that they produce
ethnic minifigs.

Of course the Soccer Lego had all yellow heads (I believe).



Advice and ideas are needed.

One of the ways that we are celebrating the move to new office space is by
having me "lego-ize" our personnel (plus families). For most ethnic groups
its possible to get away with using the stock minifig faces -- yellow is
close to a variety of skin hues. But, I have the challenge of one
Black-African family (a couple and their daughter). So, does anyone have
some ideas on how I could make a reasonable rendition of this one family
that does justice to their ethnicity? The only idea I've come up with would
likely look more like the vaudevillian "black-face" -- and I don't want
anything like that.
