What's the inherent skin tone of dogs? Yellow?
I do know for a fact that we've got lots of different hair colors, so Lego
would never argue that all animals have the same fur color, including human
animals. Oh, yes, and brown-furred wookies. :-)

This is one astounding string...I started a similar one with a debate about
whether the fig in the Flash Speeder set was supposed to be a yellow Panaka,
since it showed so many photo stills from SWI, of him driving the ship inside
the manual.
All the conclusions were about the same on both sides of the fence, but nothing
came of it. It's a toy , made by a company that elected to make its little
people with yellow plastic, not because it's Danish, but because yellow was the
closest thing available to (any) skin tone. By the time brown ABS was
introduced (help? late-eighties? Don't anyone say Modulex...different
distribution deal), the PC demons had successfully infiltrated our hearts and
minds, so now it's the big can of worms we're all chewing on now in this
debate.
What a mess. And that Red Indians thing....wow, we've come a long way in 20
years. We still have a long way to go....
Dave (jot and jab), wondering what they're going to do about Mace in 2002...
