Also, they’ve sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces.
Come at me!

Well now you’re just trolling, sir. The faces used for the Legoredo (western) sets are amazing. I particularly like the grinning Mexican with gold teeth. I call him Sanchez.
I don’t know why I have to keep explaining this.
There are girl Lego Men and boy Lego Men.
I was so enraged by the face thing, I didn’t even read that part lol
I agree with you, and thus have to downvote?
As someone who will go to any length for a pun, certainly if it’s a physical one, my fig jam will be more tasty due to this change
I believe you mean men jam.
I didn’t, but now I do
Flying Squid, I usually like your posts and comments but today. Today you’ve made me angry.
Whatever. You’re a “BigFig.” You won’t even fit with regular Lego blocks.
Leave my Dollar Store Chinese knock offs alone!
Our advertising policy requires us to call them “generic Danish interlocking children’s building set” men. 😆
But yeah, agree. I think they were better when they were just generic yellow humanoids with smiley faces and assorted wigs/hats.
I don’t think as I child I ever ascribed them a gender of their own; they were always the player character in the world’s I’d build. e.g. if I was playing with them, they were boys and they were girls when my sister was playing with them.
FWIW, one of the best parts of the Foosball Table set (21337) is the shear number of wigs and faces it comes with so you can totally customize your players. It comes with 22 “generic Danish interlocking children’s building set” men and 44 unique wigs/heads. It’s pretty cool imo
I don’t rememeber ‘men’ being prominent in the packaging and we just called the people ‘legos’ like the rest of the sets. So i’m half with you on them being kegos and not minifigs, but all of the people in the sets are just legos.
Yeah, but you have to be able to say the difference between Lego blocks (yes blocks, be happy I’m capitalizing Lego) and Lego men.
legos
Blasphemer! That’s like saying ‘traffics’. Are you trolling? ;-)
If half the world can say “maths”, we can say “legos”.
As long as no one is allowed to say “Pokemons”, I agree with that compromise.
One must capture all Pokemons
Sounds like you’re not with them on any of it tbh.
Yeah, this one definitely deserves to be unpopular. They’ve always been minifigs, they’ll always be minifigs, you don’t mess with perfection.
I feel like this would be a popular opinion amongst the Lemmy general demographic but then some psychopath below proved the opposite to be true.
I find the use of “Legos” more triggering, the plural is Lego ffs.
Damn, you’re absolutely right. What a thing to remember.
There’s nothing to remember here, the dude just didn’t know what they were called as a kid. They’ve been minifigs since their creation in the late 70s.
This is exactly the kind of post this community is for. You’re couldn’t be more wrong, take my upvotes you incorrect bastard!
Was always Lego figures for me. Or whatever specialty the figure I wanted had.
I was always partial to “Lego guys” myself.
Lego dudes
That is also acceptable.
Great post, worst opinion I’ve seen here in a while!
