What is lying in the frozen waters of Day 7's moat?
Well, well, well, if it isn't a Christmas princess! At least I can only presume it is... it will have to pass my LEGO female minifig test.
Another brutal LEGO minifig massacre...
The princess even has a little frog - maybe she'll kiss it and it'll turn into a prince!
Let's check this against my standards I set yesterday:
- Hair instead of hats or helmets - CHECK!
- Lips - CHECK!
- Occasional torso piece with sides painted to look curvy (but still essentially the same shaped torso piece) - CHECK! (note that yesterday's little girl didn't have this)
- Often times more defined eyes as well CHECK!
I am going to have to add a new criterion to my list - that is...
- Instead of standard legs, may consist of optional angled leg/dress piece.
LEGO has had these angled leg/dress pieces for some time - I can think that they have been around since at least the early 90s (maybe even late 80s). The thing that always struck me as odd is that the dress piece actually makes the women noticeably taller than standard legs would, so if you do choose to incorporate this piece, you end up with a lot of long legged ladies running around your LEGO land.
Something neat that LEGO has been doing for a few years now has been incorporating alternate faces on the reverse of the LEGO heads. Often times a smiley face turns to a scared face - in this case, a happy princess turns into a disgusted princess.
However, I almost think the 'disgusted' face makes her seem more like an evil Enchantress with a toad familiar by her side.
Here we are after 7 days, the Kingdoms set now has a rather blasé looking princess/evil sorceress.
Don't let her ensorcle you!
