Skin color Minifigure Series (retouch)

[Nachapon Bricks]

Skin color Minifigure Series I retouched.

It would be nice if have option to purchase this. (different color parts for each series in one bag/box). They can match with licence theme's minifigures.

Yes, the yellow minifigure are "classic". Maybe another reason is to make skin color pastic stay stable in color is not easy ,or not worth the manufacturing cost in the past.(Plastic industry still young, manufacturing quantity/material/technical reasons)

Okay... what am I supposed to be seeing here? I expected to see the collectible minifigures edited to have more realistic skin colors, which wouldn't have impressed me too much in and of itself. But here what I'm seeing are collectible minifigures with skin colors that are just a slightly pastier-looking yellow. They'd need slightly more pinkish skin if they are meant to look realistic. Figures who should have darker skin pigmentation like the Tribal Chief don't even have that.

Overall, I can sort of figure what you were trying to do, but I'm not really impressed, and feel more effort should have been put into this if the intended effect was what I imagine it to be. If the intention was something other than giving the figs realistic skin tones, my apologies.

Thank you for your good comment. I agree with you maybe I did this too quick, hope I can replace it with better one.

To tell you the truth, although I think it would be interesting to see these in skin color, I prefer non-licensed figures to be yellow. This is how the minifigure was born, and I think that many of us have grown fond of the yellow color.

Although I'll admit that if these were sold in skin color too, people would have more possibilities for their MOCs.

It's an interesting idea you've got here. Some more appropiate retouching and you could get a very realistic image.

The biggest problem I see with this (and the main reason I am uncomfortable with the Nougat colors being referred to as "flesh" or "skin") is that, well, there are a lot of skin colors out there in the real world. There are six or seven colors in TLG's current palette alone that could make for more realistic skin tones. So while Bright Yellow is a racially ambiguous enough color that it can be applied to all minifigures without looking "off," making them all Light Nougat (as I assume you're trying to do here) has the effect of making the Tribal Chief, Egyptian Queen, and many others suddenly just look like white people at a costume party instead of cultural archetypes.
