Not to mention guys with long hair.

Actually, her armor shape was pretty good IMHO. It's much better than the
queen's torso in the same set, or the "wenches'" torsos. (that's *not* to say
I don't like them, on the contrary; but I don't think they're appropriate for
kids' toys.)

This one is definitely a great torso, IMO. It's generic, not overly, um,
revealing, and it's fairly clear it's a girl (1). I'll be waiting for
clearances on the Dino sets to get her (and, well, the dinos too :-).

(1) well... not always (see http://www.lugnet.com/general/?n=17592 and replies)
