MAB Posted January 25, 2018 Looks good as usual. However, I'm not sure I agree that minidolls are equal to minifigs this time around, when it comes to building custom avatars of yourself. The contest seems to ignore the massive selection of parts / prints available for minifigures compared to those for minidolls - eg. for torsos over 3500 compared to 177 for minidolls (according to BL); and for heads almost 2400 (not including modified heads) compared to 60. For example, if you want to make an avatar for a policeman (or policewoman) it cannot be done with minidolls as there is no police outfit. Plus when considering legs, it says there are only the basic styles (standard, short, skirt, Queen's skirt (plus there is the new one coming)) for minifigs but completely ignores the fact that you can make brick built legs for minifigs, to make them appear like they are sitting down with knees. This is something not possible for minidolls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orange Leader Posted January 26, 2018 I thought the article "Reversing the creative process" was very interesting! I still read not everything, though I learned some more about the MILS system. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
