Oh, come on.  It's *LEGO* for Pete's sake.  Even Darth Vader is 'cute' as
a LEGO minifig.

Ahem. Well I don't think it looks cute, I do think it is fairly good
considering the price, and the fact that Lego Designers obviously aren't as
talented as some of the AFOLs out there (No offense LEGO, but you have to
admit they're damn good!)

I don't know if it's a question of talent or not.  Judging from some of
the stuff I've seen, it might well be a question of the limitations they
have to work under.  I suspect AFOLs often have it easy in comparison,
because they don't have to consider piece count or manufacturing costs or
anything for their models.
