In lugnet.general, Aaron West writes about minifigs with boobs:

I agree.

Why?

You mean like an adult female, right?
None of the minifigs look sexual in any sense. And, not to suggest that I am
in any way disturbed by any of this, but if I were to be disturbed, here is
where I stand:
- Lipstick is an artificial and repulsive sexual identifier, while enlarged
mammaries are neither. There is nothing wrong with kids knowing that women
have breasts. There is something wrong with kids thinking that women must wear
colored grease on their face to be properly atired. Get rid of lipstick minfig
heads if you want to get rid of something.
- "Bad guys" with classic smiley heads are much more creepy than scarred
frowning faces. If you want to take the LEGO high road, I think you should be
against portrayal of all violent conflict resolution. (i.e. weapons)
my $.02,
Chris

To ignore or show disgust to that fact is to deal a serious blow to girls self esteem as they grow. Lego does make women minifigs with small chests (...)
