At Lego's Imagination Center at the Mall of America in Twin Cities MN, there
are many large "minifigs" made out of regular lego bricks. Several of them are
African American. I have pictures, I just need to scan them. I find it
interesting that TLG won't make brown colored heads, but they will construct
giant "minifigs" with brown colored heads. (all they gotta do is pour some
brown plastic into one of the minifig head molds! It's not that difficult!)
