Savage Sebstian Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I have seen many MOCs that include both Fleshy and non-fleshy heads. I'm debating whether Historica should be an all-yellow group or having a variety of color for figures. What do you guys think. Should we have a variety or try and stick to yellow and (and Nocturnus fig colors). For me, it's all flesh or non at all Quote

For me, it's all flesh or non at all The Drow are the debating that Historica should be all black group, and if you do not agree, we will send you to the mines (if you are lucky:) :P In the world where grey, red, green, white and black heads and hands are common, why should one color, like flesh, be singled out and baned? :) Quote
gedren_y Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I use light flesh for my Nestlands Clans figs, since they are supposed to be decended from ancient northern peoples. I also use flesh for desert peoples. The people of the Kaliphlin Guild are of many races. Quote

Tolerance is the name of the game in urban Kaliphlin. Even Drow supremacists agree! Although, there is a good case for the majority of one particular tribe or rural area to be the same colour, there is no case for it in Historica. The board of the PGTC meets our diversity and tolerance criteria - we are all very very greedy Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I don't see any reason to limit Historica to one style of minifig. So both are fine in my book Quote
Savage Sebstian Posted June 28, 2012 Author Posted June 28, 2012 I like to hear what everyone has to say! I guess it's always seemed normal for figs to have yellow heads but when placed next to a fleshy head it's hard to imagine what they'd look like in real life. I'm glad that I will soon build with fleshy heads in my upcoming MOCs. Quote
Rogue Angel Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 Down with fleshies! You know how the fleshies always make you yellows lookly sickly and pallid, and how they always seem to be more expressive and think they are "prettier"? It's time to take a stand! Many of those fleshies are two faced, always looking to replace our yellow visages with "newer and better" faces. It's time to fight back! Yellow forever!!! Quote
de Gothia Posted June 28, 2012 Posted June 28, 2012 I don´t like fleshies so I don´t have them in my collection but I think it´s just fine if people have them and mix them. Quote
Kayne Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I am torn on this one....I love the expressions on the yellow figs(they seem more Lego to me), but I have so many Fleshies that I can't let them go to waste. So I use them as Elves and Half-Elves in my builds. Since Elves are usually depicted as fairer skinned and to have an almost ethereal look to them, I use that to explain the "prettier" faces. Quote
Legonardo Posted June 29, 2012 Posted June 29, 2012 I use yellow heads in almost all my MOCs, in my drow tower i used fleshy heads hanging off chains because they look so pale that they could be dead! I personally go with yellow and that isn't about to change but I do think that it is unfair if only one "Race" is allowed and accepted. Quote
Ecclesiastes Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I don't like them at all. And for one reason, fleshie heads come often with fleshie torso's so that's why you often can't combine liscensed torso's with normal lego theme torso's Quote
Zach Mills Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I normally use flesh heads, but I like yellow heads just as much. I don't particularly like it when people use both yellow and flesh figures in a creation as the colors just seem too different for them to be in the same universe. Quote
kabel Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 for me felshies are the symbol of all those totally overpriced liscensed themes that bulldozed my themes (pirates and caslte that is). So no fleshies for me, although I do accept others using them. Quote
Mike S Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 I'm not to fond of the fleshy heads but with all the licensed themes LEGO has been doing in the last few years, I have been getting quite a few. And because some of the torsos that are really cool have flesh prints and as I also have other color minifigs such as brown, I have decided to incorporate them as another "race". But my main "hero" characters are and will continue to be yellow as long as my fleshy head collection remains to be in the minority. I think that whether my heroes remain yellow will be determined by the direction LEGO group takes. If LEGO continues to make more face designs on yellow heads then (with the collectable minifig series, the yellows look like they have a bright future) yellows will always remain supreme. The only sets I have bought this year other than collectable minifigs and the 2 kingdoms sets are Licensed themes so I hope this isn't an indication of the future. Quote
gedren_y Posted June 30, 2012 Posted June 30, 2012 As stated before, I use the fleshies, but it took we a while to warm up to them. I had only come back to Lego from my dark ages when I bought Jabba's Sail Barge (for parts) on sale at Walmart. I didn't like the fleshies then and was fool enough to give away all the figs except Lando, who's torso I still have on a fig for my Pirates theme. I'm not a big fan of Star Wars (like the movies but that's it), and I had no interest in Space at that time. It was Eurobricks that showed me space vigs that had a mix of yellow and fleshies. I realized then that I could do that with my castle figs. It also made me want to get back into space vigs. Now that I have joined in the guilds, I use more of my fleshies than ever. Maybe someone should create some fleshie emoticons. Quote
CaptainBermuda Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I think mixing is fine, (especially when you're sticking to yellow and you find a perfect head in flesh, and you just can't pass it up) Quote
Captain BeerBeard Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 I like both. I personally think that flesh heads take castle figs to another level of awesome. I really like the Clone Wars heads because of the colored eyes. I wish they made more of those. Quote
