Civilian Castle figs, current emphasis on females.

Post by Troy T. Moore »

We are all aware of how the female minifig is underrepresented in the Castle world. I have spent a fair bit of time and money building up my Castle female population. I do not have names or personas for them but perhaps one day I will. I just wanted to share with you all.

Nice collection of female minifigs there.

I think Lego should emphasize a bit more on the other half of humanity. As in more female minifigs or should I say minifig heads.

I really like the decal on the one in the blue dress in this picture.

@ Kelderic There are two in the pic with blue dresses, but I am guessing you are talknig abou the one on the right. That is a Harry Potter fig http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?M=hp049 But if you are talknig about the fig in the middle she is from 6081.

No decals or stickers here, just 100% LEGO parts and designs. I did however alter the head of the centre fig in this pic with my Swiss Army knife

I just wonder why females got to have lipstick...? I quite often use usual smilies for females, as well as Jayko´s head for example.

Nice collection though, hadn´t seen Trelawney´s dress before.. think I need to get one...

I see someone else besides me has a princess obsession! :D Great collection, and great re-combination to create new figs.

Don't forget about the HP Map statue and some of the Star Wars females.... they can also make great castle women.

Ohh, wow. I didn't realize that Lego had even made Professor Trelawney. I'll have to get some of those from Bricklink.

Very nice combinations, Troy!
Some of those torsos I never even thought of using, I also had no idea they did a Trelawney minifig.
Nice work, this has inspired me to see what combinations I can come up with. I have the Harry Potter map statue that Emily mentioned, and I am sure that would look great.
