Minifig Quality

Hey, who says guys and girls need different hair lengths? I'm a male with long hair (well, physically. Mentally, I'm kind of between genders. LOL.)

No offense, but presumably you don't have pigtails. I had that part in black and red.

Then somewhere in the eighties thiscame out, in black and brown. It wouldn't look too bad on a male minifigure, but it's called "Minifig, Headgear Hair Female" on bricklink.

Its male counterpart, not surprisingly called "Minifig, Headgear Hair Male" initially was available only in brown and a few years later in black.

Those were pretty much the only options until the nineties. In fact, with only the smiley face being available, the hair often was the only identifier of whether a figure was supposed to be male or female.

Cheers,

I don't think Lego itself has a gender specific attachment to this piece - it was used for Snape in some of the Harry Potter sets a few years back.

They do, at least online pick a brick does. There these parts are called 'Mini wig man' and 'Mini wig girl', respectively, at least in the English version. Anyway, I was just describing these things in a way that was most likely to mean something to most people -I'm not making a statement about what I personally consider appropriate hair styles for men or women

Next time I'll add a disclaimer.

Cheers,

That's essentially what my hair looks like. Well, if there was a dark brown version of that piece.

I've had packing and printing discrepancies but only in insructions. In my Lost Tomb set it listed the Belloq and Stapio torsos in the inventory even though they were not supposed to be in the set. In the same set I was given a creepy anime Anakin head instead of Indianas'. Hurry up customer support!

Edit:

Oh, right, the quality was good though.
