First at all I apologize all possible LEGO fans with Mongol origin but
this strange idea hurts me from some time.
I was thinkering about LEGO domestic animals and list was not so long:
horses, cats, parrots (are they domestic?) and hawks/falcons (which can
be treated as very big pigeons). That's all or I am missing something?
So what these poore Legolanders eat? And it hitted me - HORSES! They use
horses for riding and food. And that means that they are Mongols (or
some kind of nomad nation in any case). All this thin skin of
civilization as Town, Space etc. etc. does not change matter - they eat
horses...
Standard minifig face color is yellow which fits to my theory too
(except shape of their eyes but dark eyeglasses solve this small
problem). And now one more thing came to my fewering brain - Ninjas!
Shape of their eyes fit my theory exactly! Put Ninja head onto Town
minifig torso and look at what you got...
---------------------------
I read this notes more carefully a week later after I wrote them (I did
not posted this onto LUGNET immediatly - some things must stay for a
while because I remember threads about racial issues on RTL). And they
were still actual for me - so I am posting this now.
Gintaras ;-)
P.S. Now more seriously - did anyone has done or knows webpage with nice
cow or pork design in minifig scale. After that I can change my mind
about minifigs' nationality (may be...)
