I would love an elves Air ship...if we don't get one I might have to moc one using Nijago air pirate stuff.....

Lol I agree! But we are 4 yrs into the dollpocalyps and people still fear the minidoll cooties so I'd just like a solution so that every thread about new elves/friends sets doesn't need to have ten "I love the set but can't buy it because owning mini dolls will make my penis fall off" comments (obviously I'm embelishing for comedic effect)

<p>I think the best solution was the one proposed by Kotaku: that every set come with a cupon you could mail in to buy minifig versions of the elves. It would be expensive but maybe helpful to the AFOLs that want to love the sets but cant get past the minidolls. In any event I dont see the mini dolls going anywhere they have done thier job of bringing young girls into lego very very well. It will be funny 10 years from now when the kids who grew up playing with friends and elves sets look back and try to understand what all the fuss was about. after all to a lot of kids mini dolls have been around as lond as they have been playing with lego.

I also really like the mini dolls as elves. Mixing the friends dolls with reg figs bothers me but Tolkien style elves are consitantly described as taller thiner and pale-er than humans so the mini dolls fit perfectly in that context.
