Every other female face could be used for anything.

Well, you might think you wouldn't mind, and perhaps you wouldn't; but
perhaps
you think you would because you DON'T have them (1).

An army of Princess Storm troops would be amazing, IMO - provided they only
had a smiley face, or a lipstick face (not that I need those, no way!) or a
different GENERIC female face (that TLC has not released yet and perhaps
never
will :-\ ).


Just a quick plug for one of my favourite small sets  --  1271/5905.

The Gail Storm face is pretty near generic: the clone factor (as id'ed by
Shiri) is still a bit of a problem, but you can use those features nearly
anywhere and they seem to fit. In my set-ups Gail is currently featuring as
Cleopatra, Shania Twain and Kuan Yin (a protege of the Buddha).

You're right, Gail Storm is great. I liek her face a lot, luckily only have
two so no cloning problems yet.

However, by saying Princess Storm I meant the Castle princess Storm, as
appeared in 6071. She's truly awesome, I love her. The red-haired, stormy-eyed
face is brilliant and without it, Scar (1) would not be what she is today.
I think her torso is cool too, as the flared helmet (can't get enough of
those!)... but to have multiples of her face? No way, I don't want that.
That'd ruin any appreciation I have to a well designed and articulated face,
(just as Leo and the Black Mustached knight could've been appreciated had they
not been so over-bearing and popping up everywhere).

BTW, you can't see Willa's hideous cackle under a ninja mask...

Yeah, but her eyebrows are just as bad ;-)

Worked fine, but I had to xpost to .b.minifigs...
