(...) Here's a better idea: Stop making all of the scarred/mustachioed/...lipsticked faces and go back to plain smileys. Then they can be either. Unless your women have hormone problems and your men are cross-dressers, it's hard to use today's (...) (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Just a quick plug for one of my favourite small sets -- 1271/5905. The Gail Storm face is pretty near generic: the clone factor (as id'ed by Shiri) is still a bit of a problem, but you can use those features nearly anywhere and they seem to (...)

Well, you might think you wouldn't mind, and perhaps you wouldn't; but perhaps you think you would because you DON'T have them (1). I have one of each and like them, yet if I had (...)

(...) You're comparing Willa the Witch to every other female face? Every other female face could be used for anything. Willa definately can't. That is what makes her a bad mini-face. I have seen the close-up picture of the Queen and princess (I was (...) (25 years ago, 4-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Yup, you are correct. I simply forgot about these pieces. I have used them as gender changers in the past, but do not like them much due to the rounded ends. For now, however, that is all we have and I guess I can be happy with that until a (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

(...) Disagree. LEGO used to do a lot more minifig packs. Town, Space, Castle, Pirates, there was even a Wild West mfp. They've only recently started doing fewer of them. I'm guessing mfp's are not big sellers. They may be popular among the True (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego) !

(...) I'd agree with this generally, EXCEPT, there is a tendency for the only female characters to be rare unique characters. Willa is about the only female I have seen that I don't want a bunch of (and she's a common figure - go figure). Give us (...) (25 years ago, 3-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)

We do NOT want 1000 copies each of (for example) Darth Vader, Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Princess Strom, Queen Leonara, Willa the Witch, Basil the Bat Lord, the WW bad guys, or any other "personalized" and characterized minifig (...)

(...) That's why I think common-characters-only packs would be a great solution. The rare special characters are still in the big sets, yet you can get a lot of the basic people. (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.dear-lego)
