So, I was thinking about the fact that minifig heads/torso's come attached this
morning, and suddenly I started wondering "why do they do this anymore?" It used
to be that this was necessary for packaging, since minifig torso/heads were
displayed proudly beneath the flip-up lid, and this was the only way to get the
heads to face forwards while still in the packaging. But since flip-up lids are
no longer used, does it make sense to still attach the heads to the torsos?
Would it save any money not to do this step? I assume probably not enough to be
worthwhile, but just a thought...

(...) I thought it was so they didn't scare children with beheaded minifigs (legless minifigs presumably being deemed less harrowing.) Psi (21 years ago, 19-Apr-04, to lugnet.lego)

any chance they print the heads while they're attached to the torsos? (21 years ago, 21-Apr-04, to lugnet.lego)
