Overall, I think they should do away with the yellow minifig and eventually
turn all their lines (DUPLO, Jack Stone, 4 Junior, Town, Train, Star Wars,
etc.) into various races. I think Tyco had realistic colors of minifigs
(IIRC), and Best Lock has both black and white minifigs, among other building

Ew, no. I couldn’t disagree more. I have no problem with real basketball
players being depicted with more naturalistic skin tones. I have no probem with
Lando being brown. To be honest, I wouldn’t have minded if he looked rather like
this non-standard faced basketball player (there’s a hint of racial detail but
he’s still yellow):
Then again, I don’t think I could stand minis if they all had faces like on
the basketball players. Those faces are...not good...it’s the nose ya know.
Minis should not have noses.
I have lot’s of basic smileys and I like it that way. I don’t mind variations
on the smiley theme, but I do think it would be a huge misteak to go with more
naturalistic coloring and facial details for the minis! FWIW, I could go with
fewer smirking faces too -- it seems like every new face they come up with is
some smirking little fool. Most of the new “World City” faces are smirkers, as
is the face of the new female in the “Orient Expedition” set. I am not a huge
fan of the solutions found for wolfmen or dwarves either.
Blech!
Long live the yellow mini!!!

| To All, (...) Boy, does that bring back some memories. It is hard to believe it has been three years. I am glad my minifigs speak in English, because I am not too knowlegable in Spanish, as I took French for 5 years. : ) As for Lando, I am glad they (...) (21 years ago, 11-Aug-03, to lugnet.general)
