I think it depends on who you talk to.
IMO the main juniorisation indicator is POOP's:
- BURPS
- on-piece car chassis'
- 1*N*5 bricks
- "pier" pieces
- ...
Some not quite POOP's (the actual shape is _slightly_
different from what you could achieve with other pieces):
- castle wall pieces (including the western variants)
- raised base plates
I wonder how much more expensive non-raised base plates plus
pieces (maybe some BURPS) to create the raised section would
be that plain raised base plates.
And then there are SPUD's (which don't really count as
juniorisation in my book - they are just a bad direction):
- Zodiac
- Horse
- Dragon
- Cat
- ...
I suppose that the best way to show what we mean by (and
about) juniorisation would be if some of the
"anti-juniorisation" people published non-juniorised
versions of the juniorised official models.
The easy projects are probably to take one of the "Town Jr."
cars, substitute the chassis part with a multi-part chassis,
and make some better alternate models.
There would be more work in making a non-juniorised version
of one of the official castle models, but I think it would
be easier to make alternate models.
I will keep building LEGO animals [1].
Play well,
Jacob
PS: I suppose that you could say that minifigs are SPUD's. :-(
