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

I'm always able to quote from a Rob Reiner movie to prove a point:

  "I have a confession to make."
  "And what is that?"
  "I am not really left-handed."
  (Transfers sword to right hand, they continue fighting...)

  "I also have a confession to make."
  "Yes?"
  "I am not left-handed either."

I think the new minifigs are such highly trained swordfighters that they fight
first with their left hands, and only use their more powerful right hand against
a worthy opponent.

I always have my bad guys wielding left-handed.  The ones that don't have a left
hook, that is.
