Dear Lego
(call me a geek if you will) Is there any reason why the new Knights Kingdom
action Figures are all left handed ? The pictures of the minifig sets have
all the figs wielding weapons in their right hand (as they always have), the
comics in the instructions have them swapping hands from frame to frame. OK
so its only a toy and dosent matter in the grand scale of things, and I can
always have 'parrying action' rather than 'sword striking' action, but as
someone who does a fair bit of sword fighting in my spare time it strikes me
as a bit odd

(...) Maybe they are right handed, but the image has been mirrored. It wouldn't be the first time someone in marketing decided an image looked better the other way around. I recall a Kit-Kat billboard they had here for a while that showed a mountain (...) (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.dear-lego)
