lol username Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 A new project has quickly taken the #1 spot on Cuusoo, and at well over 9,000 supporters, it's bound to hit the magic 10,000 quite soon. Only six days ago, this project was at just over 2,000 supporters, but people have spread the word and its popularity took a massive and sudden jump. So what is this set? Is it a license for the latest blockbuster? A set based on a popular game? No, actually, none of that - it's simply vignettes of female minifigures in a variety of professions. Girls and LEGO have been a hot topic for a while now, especially given the launch of LEGO's incredibly successful Friends theme. Many people have expressed their desire for a greater variety of female minifigures (as male minifigures are far more common in LEGO's other lines), and that's exactly what this Cuusoo project aims to provide. It's not every day you see a Cuusoo project gain supporters so quickly, especially without a well known IP to back it up. But this one has, and LEGO has taken note. Let's see what happens.

Cyrem Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 I get the feeling this has been sent to every feminist group around and thats why the votes skyrocketed in only a few days.

Cyrem Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I can already see how this will be abused..... Care to expand on this? I too would like to know what is meant by this, because I'm unsure of what you mean. Are you talking about lots of people buying up these sets? or Some sort of fandom?(I find this unlikely as female minifigs have existed for a long time) or the project being hated?

The Ace Railgun Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Back in off topic world... Jamesster and Lair are posting more off topic comments just to put them there while I'm just trying expand on info... really you've never seen dragonball? You know? DragonBall!? Seriously though...I'm not going more in depth because it'd be inappropriate for some of our younger audience members... ??? Really? Meanwhile on topic... It would be nice to see some more styles of female minifigs though, I mean apart from the generic ones in sets.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Back in off topic world... Jamesster and Lair are posting more off topic comments just to put them thereNo, we're not. We're asking you to expand on your comment which we don't understand. How is that off-topic?while I'm just trying expand on info...You have not made one single effort to explain yourself.really you've never seen dragonball? You know? DragonBall!?No. Don't use fandoms or pop/culture to explain your points.Seriously though...I'm not going more in depth because it'd be inappropriate for some of our younger audience members...I very much doubt it. This isn't Lego.com. ??? Really? Yes really, I'm trying to make any sense of what you just said in what I quoted then. Instead of going "Really?" you could explain what you meant. Like, all of it. I do not see what there is to be abused in this. lol username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though...I'm not going more in depth because it'd be inappropriate for some of our younger audience members... They were just trying to understand why you think they would be abused... I have seen episodes of DBZ, though I don't know how this relates to female minifigs being abused. Since you mentioned 'inappropriate for some of our younger audience', I can assume what you mean. If what I am assuming is correct, no, I extremely doubt there will be that sort of abuse. Female minifigures have existed for ages, a few more sets won't change anything. If there was any of that type of abuse, it would be far more likely on the LEGO Friends line... and I haven't heard of any abuse of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ace Railgun Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 If what I am assuming is correct Yup your assumption was correct I just don't feel comfortable talking about those subjects so I'm going to let Lair and Jamesster figure it out... I haven't heard of any abuse of that. Then well I guess you were spared from that nightmare...it was horrid....one of the forum groups on a small old Lego forum did this and posted it publicly...and it was terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lair Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Yup your assumption was correct I just don't feel comfortable talking about those subjectsWhich is why you brought it up.so I'm going to let Lair and Jamesster figure it out...yes that has worked so well so far lol username 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ace Railgun Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Which is why you brought it up. I never brought anything up...I simply said I can already see how this would be abused then you figured out the rest... That is what I mean by that though...
