Aaah! No way, Lindsay, you've gotta be kidding!
OK, seriously now: I love the pirate wench and the forest wench *torsos*, but
I never thought much of their faces. I don't think it's quite as nice as it
could be.

I've mentioned before: she's way cool. I can't wait to get my hands on her!

I think TLC is off to a nice start. Queen Leonara was, well, um... not exactly
representing the female population... Princess Storm, OTOH, was definitely a
fierce warrior and I like her 'fig a lot. This Femme Fatale seems to follow
her attributes in some way.
I like her torso which is plain and generic, it could be used in many themes
and settings which is great IMO.

Ah, but did you see Princess Storm? She's the second female in 6091/8. Very
fierce and "kick-butt"ish.

Cool! Can't wait to see it. Any chance of scans?

| (...) <snip a bunch> I gotta agree with Shiri on this one. I thought highly of the earlier female torsos, but their faces were, um, well, they sucked. I liked the Paradisa faces better, so I used a lot of them instead. Now, TLC is starting to open (...) (25 years ago, 24-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)

| Hi everyone, Well, today I got two more of my 2000 Adventurers sets (5955 and 5935, the All-Terrain Trapper and Island Hopper sets respectively), and in 5955 came the newest example of a long and distinguished line of minifigs: females. There (...) (25 years ago, 23-Apr-00, to lugnet.general)
