So what we need is the Lego race/gender minifig pack. :) Include
boy/girl hair, different colored heads/hands, and let people mix and
match
their sets as they see fit. Now you can have African-American players
on your soccer team (or female players), Lando figures for Star Wars,
etc. If you're into the Western theme, how about a Blazing Saddles
version? :)
On a serious note, I'd imagine these would be especially popular with
the Dacta sets...
I remember thinking about this when I was looking at those UN Lego
posters
that were on sale at Ebay. Every figure there had a yellow head.
