Interesting...have you always had this problem with the female
form?  Is there a problem with kids knowing that women are
shaped differently from men?

I think we can all see that a fig
with red lipstick and long hair(although not so now)
is a woman.

Why does a fig need long hair to be a woman?  I know plenty of
women with short hair.  (And plenty of women who don't wear
lipstick, either.)

The new Castle sets looked promising,
a female knight and all, but the shape of her armor?
C'mon!  And worst yet is the busty woman in the Stevey
Speilberg set, in a sports bra with a coat at her
bellybutton?

I have *no* idea which set you're talking about here.  The only
ones I can think of as a possibility are the Dino Island sets, but the
female fig *I* got wasn't in a sports bra - she was wearing a
button-up shirt - the one showing his navel was an overweight
guy...

(...) I can't speak for John but for my part I have NO problem with depicting the female form in a manner that is tasteful and appropriate for the intended audience. In this context I consider the Pirate Wench inappropriate with her plunging (...) (24 years ago, 19-Jun-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build.minifigs)
