make your own dude, check out the purist superheroes thread, they've made em all, many good enough to stand in with the official ones. You could easily make a copperhead using some Ninjago Snake parts, Ultra-Humanite I made using a Chima Gorilla, and Hawkgirl was pretty easy too using Chima Eagle tribe parts.

great idea! I was thinking about trying to do his bike in this scale too.

nice work Glitch. You did a good job matching those arrow characters. I was kind of surprised to see what they look like on the show. Slade has 2 eyes, weird.

Damn that dudes a tripod!

"one that actually reflects what a woman looks like" These things dont look human, they are square, it would look like a woman still without those features. You still want to make this about gender roles and stuff, so yes, you are crazy. This is about aesthetics, I'll say it again. If I've been playing basketball with a cardboard box, you presenting me with a cardboard box with a drawn on basketball is not going to make it any easier to shoot hoop, its still a box. Dont loop me or the others commenters in with that euro lady scientist, personally, I think a scientist can wear whatever they want. This whole thing does not have a real life component at all for me, this is a problem I have with the way a toy looks, seeing as there is a whole website dedicated to the discussion of how these toys look, I'm going to discuss. Your attempt to downplay the customizer's role is ludicrous too. It is the message set forth in the lego movie that you should be making custom creations.

Well said Dorayaki, I was worried I was the only customizer who felt limited by the curves and makeup. while I'm less annoyed by the lady heads, I do remember a time I made a recreation of Toyman from Superman: The animated series. He has a doll's head mask on, so I used the Bee lady's head, which had rosy cheeks kind of like a doll. Because of the red lips and eyelashes, it was recieved as being "too feminine." Lego's message as put out in the lego movie is "make your own stuff, but also sets" seems to be at the heart of this debate. Should lego make more female minifigs by making them very specifically femme, thus limiting the potential to build your own stuff? Or should lego revert a little back to gender neutral figs, to allow for maximum customization? I know most people when they see a classic space figure, say, see a white male, thats a bummer for people like us with imaginations. I also recognize that sometimes customizers want realism and accuracy, which may be achieved by having very specific looking heads and bodies, and that in some cases, having a curvy body better portrays your character. Personally in my own work, the body shape has never mattered, but it has been helpful to have certain lady faces that are wearing makeup, or have a beauty mark or whatever, its kind of a catch 22 in that way.

Yep that's it, stick the 1x2 on first then mount the balls just under it. You can stack some yellow 1x1's in square or round, your preference, to make him appear to be standing straight up (much like his junk) or use the curved slopes to give him that crouched doggy style look.

Maybe, is there one without the "?" logo on it? It should be purple, i thought brown might be closer

I'm not sure who you are addressing, internet quabble rules have determined that those like myself who oppose the printing (for the most part) are the ones with sticks up our butts (and therefore the ones who don't like what TLG produces, though I've never once said that). Lets get something clear though, I havent seen anyone "whining" here, this is a discussion. Some people are attempting to condescend, but I see no whiners. From your closing statement, I guess you oppose the printed on curves? Idk man, you seem to have just popped in to tell us we're all whiners and to then give up on lego and make our own toys, idk what that means. I think Ive made my opinion clear, I've supported it with examples, and at least one person gets what I've been saying, so I'm bowing out. This discussion is about to devolve into name calling and such and I dont wanna be around for that.

I mean, I wasnt gonna say it before, but I have long beautiful manly eyelashes to which no woman can compare. Thank you wiliejm, its comforting to know someone else gets it. I dont want to argue per se, the qustion was posed and I stated my honest opinion. I believe most lego torsos in production are unisex, that is how I like to play with them, I swap everything, nothing stays as it was intended. I create many more woman characters than what lego includes, using bodies that lack printed on curves. Now the ones that do have printed on curves pose a problem for me becuase they lock me into using that torso on a character that is exclusively female and fit, whereas if there were no curves, just squareness, it could be a male body or a woman's body of a different physicality or a fit woman's body, its just allows more possibilities for making custom characters. I wanted to use the Zoo lady torso to make a lego Jack Hanna, but Jack Hanna looks pretty silly with boobs, the zoo lady would still look like a lady without them. I dont think little girls will be writing letters to lego asking why the girl legos dont have perfectly formed round perky breasts.

I would do Myxlplk like this: Short purple legs, jokers torso whatver face you desire, and a derby cap (which comes in brown now? I would use brown)

Dark Beast

Thank you. I rarely do lightningtiger

yes, I have an opinion that differs from yours, so naturally, you can make assumptions about my character. LOL, grow up baby boy, let me put the words in my own mouth. Also, thanks for the lesson in geometry, my eyes dont actually work, so I couldnt tell just how abstracted the minifigs were, I assumed they were in scale to real humans. One question for you though flailx, how do you deal with the loneliness? This isnt the problem, the problem is when it is gratuitous. This is a woman in a corset, it would need to reveal some form of female shape/exposed breasts to convey that. What is unnecessary is hip and breast printing on a piece like this Theres no reason she cant use the regular "male" police body. I have this torso and when I used it to make a custom "male" character, all anybody could see was his "womanly hips." Thats a problem, clearly that is the detail that people see, and it is an unnecessary detail, as this minifig would be easily ID'ed as a woman based on her fuller lips and longer eyelashes (which is less offensive to me, as for the most part all women have fuller lips and longer eyelashes than men) It would seem most people aren't getting what I'm trying to say. This isnt a realism issue, its not a feminist issue, it is simply this, the curves are gratuitous, as are the male muscles. No matter what, the shape of these things is square, why are we trying to kid ourselves with printed on curves? Its like drawing a circle on a box and saying its a basketball. I mean, just look at it, they printed the negative space, wtf?

If your wife is plus size, or very thin, the bodies lego produce would look nothing like her. You guys keep missing the point, I keep seeing "but women do have hips and curves." Yes, and I also have manboobs. Everyone is different, the problem is that lego has established the default as being thin, there is no plus size lego woman, only thin, and pre curves, square (which for my purposes could represent plus size). I do enjoy the variety of minifig torsos and faces, but every lady one I can think of, would be just as effective for my purposes, without the curves. Anyone who says otherwise, is sexualising those curves, you are sexualising a square piece of plastic.

I'm pushing an agenda. Minifigs were better before printed on curves and boobs. This is not a feminist agenda, its a customizer's agenda. You are right some women do and some dont, however you're wrong about the minifigs. The earliest female specific torsos did not have printed on curves. The first castle princess, paradisa etc. The oldest lady minifig I can think of that had specifically feminine curves was the pirate girl, she was busty. Now, only women with jobs are given gender neutral bodies. Female townsfolk are relegated to the same handful of boring female torso's (the ones in the new research institute set) with the only interesting feature being their tits and waists. I cant think of a minifig torso in production now, that is strictly female, that does not have hips and boobs. There are plenty of gender neutral bodies if thats what your trying to say (though you neednt we're well aware).

Lol, I like how you used such formal language. Maxi-Figure hands for the testes. I suppose this is quite dirty, but EB is 18+ no? If a mod thinks it should be removed, do it, I understand.

they are, its an optical illusion.

yes please.

Not a strip club but definitely an adult MOC by me

Oh I forgot about those, they are just as limiting and annoying to me. Its a little different though, there are representations of fat male torsos and varying degrees of buffness. Still, I would love a superman torso without muscles that I could use to make a supergirl or something like that.

I complain about this all the time, almost as often as I complain about feminists. I dont think this is a feminist issue, its a creativity issue. I have always hated printed on curves and breasts because a lego body without any curves is not gender specific, it could be used for a man or a woman. As someone who makes a lot of custom purist minifigures, I switch the assumed gender roles of a lot of hair pieces, torsos, faces whatever. When lego makes a torso with obvious breasts and hips, it limits my use of that part to only "beautiful" or "sexy" or "fit" lady characters. It is in my opinion, sexist to portray women (who have less representation anyway) as having perfect curves. I don't perceive the heads as "always wearing makeup" as much as they are women, they have fuller lips. It is kind of a necessary distinction, kind of like needing heads with beards and those being exclusively male. I guess what I'm saying is, we never needed gender specific torsos, cause thats suggesting a standard body type (when the standard should just be "square" or "blocky" this is lego after all), but I dont mind the heads being gendered in the way that they are (we could go back to the ambivalent smiley face heads if people have a problem with that).
