    Awesome. Question is, who's the first one who's going to take issue with their use of the term "classic?" b, 21b, 21b, 21Classic status aside, the Jedi Mind Tricks one with the Lego tree background was dope.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21b, 21not sure if there even are Lego men of color.b, 21b, 21apparently the only parts the artists manipulated were the faces of the Lego men, which they painted to approximate the faces of the rapp dudes. the rest of the stuff (hats, clothes, whatever) appear to be out-of-the-box.

    You saying that yellow isn't a color?b, 21b, 21Your anti-Asian sentiment is showing img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" 21
  • SwayzeSwayze 14,705 Posts
    I'm pretty sure that yellow was chosen for it's semi-ambiguous nature.b, 21b, 21Or Lego people could all be White with jaundice.b, 21b, 21Or the Lego people inventor was creole and wanted to represent yellow bone supremacy.

    font class="post"1b, 21b, 21Yes, that's pretty much it exactly. They're about fantasy/play/learning etc and being ambiguous is a part of that.b, 21b, 21Their sister company, Duplo, who make a larger version aimed at young children, who have a slightly different remit, I guess you could say, have a much more varied character cast.b, 21b, 21 img src="http://isubookstorecatalog.com/images/edu/big/TCP/LG_9222.gif"1

  • rootlesscosmorootlesscosmo 12,848 Posts
    yeah it's useless to argue whether these all represent "classics" (hint: they don't). the real question is why these covers, of all rapp covers, came to mind when dude was doing these.

    I'm still waiting for the LEGO version of Big Bear's classique Doin Thangs. And an accompanying video made using one of those LEGO video games
