Except that TLC did not model the figs in "natural" skin tones. They used
bright yellow. Had they modeled the light skinned characters in tan then it
would make sense to model the dark skinned characters in brown. (I was
surprised and slightly dissapointed that they didn't do this.) However because
they used yellow to represent the figs then that is the only color they should
use. I personally find it offensive that so many people automatically
associate bright yellow with light skin tones rather than TLC's obvious (to me
anyway) intent to represenct humans, period. FYI when I was a kid I saw
mini-figs and the inhabitants of "Planet Lego" not as humans at all. I still
take this attitude and hope that all this idiotic Earth based bickering does
not totally screw up my perfect non-human Legoverse.
This concludes my $0.02
