Lyichir Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 I stumbled across this set on lego.com today http://shop.lego.com...-Princess-10656 It looks cute, lots of bright colors, some white picket fences, one of the new horses, the princess isn't a bad minifigure and it's not expensive. Then I noticed the random pair of black legs. They don't really look like they'd go on the princess, why not white for her? So what's up with that? Half a prince? Did the prince leave his pants behind when he heard the king knocking on the door? Thoughts? Black does seem to be a somewhat odd color choice, but the reasoning for a spare pair of legs seems obvious to me: they're so that the princess has the option of riding the horse (which she can't do with the skirt piece).

That explanation would make more sense to me if the pants were white, or light blue, or in any way went with the princess's outfit. Quote
CorneliusMurdock Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 That explanation would make more sense to me if the pants were white, or light blue, or in any way went with the princess's outfit. Come on, in the the fashion world, black goes with everything. Or the princess just enjoys leather pants... Quote

Peppermint_M Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 Every tradition-be-damned Princess knows, if you are off on an adventure it is always best to have black trousers. Looks more rebellious natch Quote
GregoryBrick Posted February 7, 2013 Posted February 7, 2013 (edited) That explanation would make more sense to me if the pants were white, or light blue, or in any way went with the princess's outfit. Do you really doubt that explanation? Of course it's so the minifig can ride the horse - I can't imagine any reason which would make more sense than that.
