Also, they’ve sucked ever since they stopped having just basic smiley faces.

Come at me!

    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
