Really? The truth? I don't think he's ALL that awful. I mean, yeah,
he's weird looking and dopey, but brasso his shirt and stick the
head under a helmet - it's not that bad! (At least it doesn't seem
that bad).

Timmy was the first minifig with big white eyes.  Before Timmy, all
minifigs had tiny black dots for eyes, or in a few cases, a thin black
horizontal line (for a squinty face, I guess).  The white eyes were
just a huge change to have to swallow.

And he has a *nose*.  That's just plain weird on a minifig.

Of course, you know what this means...big white eyes and a nose...Timmy
must be an Indian!  They're the only other minifigs with big white eyes
and noses...
