Speaking of <set:9171>, doesn't the figure almost dead center in the Pause DB
picture remind you of Spock? The first time I saw it, that's who I thought
of. Also, when I saw this set, I thought if LEGO can make a DUPLO set with
people of different races, what is keeping them from doing the same for
minifigs?
Anyway, I think that it would be a neat idea to have a pack of generic minifig
heads (and hands)! That's a good way to avoid racial implications of any sort
in the sets they make, but still give a choice for people who'd like to see
other races.
On a slight tangent, does anyone know of any minifigs that represent REAL
people? (Not a character in a movie.) At Kidvention I saw one of Steven
Spielberg in the upcoming movie maker set. Will this be the first? Are there
any others?
