- Oversized minifig heads, about 3.5 plates thick, unfortunately these
won't fit on a minifig, the stud hole is not deep enough.

What is the purpose of these?  Why not just use normal heads?

Several reasons:

- a normal head doesn't have a rod hole

- the rod hole in the pen pieces is rod diameter the whole thickness of
the brick, which makes for a sturdier pen

- the pen pieces are not exactly LEGO dimensions (which I actually think
is bad, but given that, the heads should match the other pieces - there
is value to the pieces being larger to make a sturdier pen, but it would
have been nice if they were 2x2x4 plates thick so they would integrate
better with regular LEGO elements.

(...) Okay, I guess that makes sense, except why is the LEGO Group making pens, and why do the pens have mini-heads on them???...??? (24 years ago, 16-Mar-01, to lugnet.reviews)
