Should be interesting to see what they unveil. I for one would love to see
other skin tones in the minifig line. I respect Lego's insistence on JUST
yellow... it's their company..... but then again......
We DO have brown ABS for Chewbacca. We have a tan(ish) color for JarJar
binks. I mean, we even have green in the Mars line and Blue in Watoo.
Certainly Lego could load up some other vats of colors and give us a broader
range of ethnicities.
Does anyone have a perspective on this? It just seems to me that it's silly
to maintain the yellow only tones when it would be so SIMPLE to offer
alternatives.
Cheers!
