Agreed! I prefer the generic smiley face to any others. The more defined
the features are, the less one is able to project a unique vision onto the
figure. Especially for a child a less defined figure is better imho. Even
with a limited number of figures totally different things can be imagined
and built and role played . The child creates the vision as opposed to
being dictated to by the figure or figure face. [Please note, I am not
advocating we use pegs instead of minifigs. I really like minifigs!]

somehow limits one's picture/imagination upon reading the book later.
Seeing someone else's vision of a story before one has had a chance to form
one for oneself?
Most AFOL have enough minifigs for every mood and ocassion, so I feel they
are not dictated to by a defined figure/face. They create the figure from
their vast array of parts... and they define the figure to fit their
story. Still, for myself , I prefer the : )
maybe its just nostalgia?
