Perry the Platypus

Recently, there has been some obvious controversy about the new Minidoll included in every set in the Friends line. They are about three plates taller than the standard minifigure. Nothing is compatible with a normal minifigure except for accessories and the rubbery hairpiece. So, what do you like or dislike about the Minidoll? Here is the chance to share your opinion. In my humble opinion, they look nice (kind of cute... ), but they just aren't very appealing. I gave mine to my daughter.

I love this show. It is the best cartoon known to man. If you are a fan of Beavis an butthead, feel free to share your thoughts and discussions on the brand new season here. EDIT: The title got mixed up. Could a moderator please change it?

I guess your right. This can be closed. By the way, the starving children joke really cracked me up!

Ew. I hate those, Friends I like. I guess Friends is girlish enough, but definitely not as girlish as something like Barbie or Bratz.

Not very detail comparedto the new Hero Factory sets. They are great parts packs, though.

There is a Phineas and Ferb one I like on there that is in need of supporting. 130 people have come and done it, so far. I think it is on he front page.

Wow, SpongeBob isn't the same SpongeBob I used to watch.

Nice review! This set is one of my favorites of the new line. I love the car, Steph, her dog... everything! It would be nice if you could post a picture of the dog close up. I'm not going back to the LEGO Store until tomorrow or Saturday.

1. Announcement of the Phineas and Ferb LEGO game. 2. Unveiling of Friends.

That must of been amusing to see! The stupid game stills not let me play it! I'm not expecting much, though, based on all te negative feedback here.

Very nice, interesting MOC, L@GO! I really like all the nice architectural detail put into this amazing MOC. Simply loving the design of it! The interior looks very nice, as well! I really like the safe you built with the gold and dollar bills! I must applaud! Great work!

Bad parenting, indeed. When girls buy these sets, I bet they'll try to buy their own car. The result... don't be influenced by toys, kids!

Agreed. It seems that LEGO is taking a learning curve from this new theme's profits. It needs to sell and appeal well to girls and AFOLs before LEGO decides to make more girl projects. Themes like Belville failed ultimately. This new line takes things to a different level, with pieces and colors that will appeal to not even girls, but boys as well. LEGO went through years of market researchto find out how to appeal to girls, and so far, it's been working. My LEGO Store's shelves are almost empty! Why, girls are going wacko over these new playsets! As long as Friends sells and LEGO is satisfied with the success, they'll keep it around for a while.

I think you are about right. If they weren't that old, their moms and dads must not have cared for them right. That's an example of bad parenting, folks! What would be a really cool set in the 2013 wave, (if there is one) would be a big college, about the size of Olivia's house. In the new wave of sets, the girls would be heading off to college. The set would include dorms, classrooms, and some male minidolls for the girls to flirt with.

Another reason why they aren't compatible with City MOCs or sets. You could add the bakery or beauty shop to a City collection, though.

Yeah. I mean, preteens who own their own bakerys and beauty shop? I don't think so. But I do admit, though, and I'm ashame when I say this, that the little dolls are kinda cute.

Looks like a nice little set. Great review! I will pick this up for the parts. The "tub" should be a bit wider, and I do wish Emma were wearing a bikini.

Probably shouldn't have mentioned that... Prateek, they look like fifteen year olds.

The game crashes every time I try to play it.
