And if TLG is concerned that a one-figure set wouldn’t
sell if it “only” had a female minifig, then why not just make it a
two-figure set? Realistically it should add more than, say, fifty cents to
the price, and it would more or less completely satisfy the concerns of
gender-based under-representation.

Or, as I mentioned earlier, just include multiple wigs. It’s cheaper, and
skirts the gender issue completely. (sorry)(but not really)

That’s not a bad workaround, as long as the printing on the faces remains
gender-neutral. One need look no further than the Adventurers theme to see the
problem there.
But now that you mention it, that problem could be headed off (!) by including
male and female wigs and male and female heads, and this would be even cheaper
than including a whole second minifig, of course.
Dave!

| (...) I bought a Doctor's Car (7902) for a friend's daughter's birthday and took along a female hair piece which I gave to her along with the set. Voila! Instant female. Would that really have negatively affected TLC's bottom line to include that (...) (17 years ago, 28-Jun-07, to lugnet.dear-lego, FTX)
