Character creation sucks for black people in L:RB

[FreezeRokk]

When you first start, there's only 2 black "Heads and Bodies." Not to mention they're both men. So you can't even make a Black Woman.

I don't see why you shouldn't be able to change the "skin color" of the lego figs, or at least switch out the hands to make them Black, Yellow, or White. Instead the skin color is locked to the clothing item.

I'm on the 3rd vehicle and still have not come across any solutions. I don't want my character looking exactly like Mothership Q all the time. When I saw all the original RB characters remade in Lego form, I was pretty excited to recreate my band in Lego form. But now it's not possible because of the weird way the character creator/rock shop is set up.

This is a big disappointment. TT games fix this pl0x.

I so totally agree with this. The skin tone should not be permanently melded onto the clothes. I just use a skeleton to avoid this issue, but the creative element is severely lacking for a Lego AND RB game.

No personality changes, either...I want my goth Lego.

Well you see the first black lego character Lando from starwars didn't come out tell 2003 when lego started to come out with mini figures in 1978. Stupid Danish.

[TroyPowers]

Agreed. We should be able to change skin tone.

I don't see what that has to do with the customization options in L:RB.

Try that again.

i guess for realism now.

You have got to be kidding.

You know that feeling you get, RIGHT BEFORE you see a car crash happen....

I'm going through hell just trying to find some female minifig heads that are yellow. I wouldn't have to go through this rigamarole if they'd just let us tune the skin color on torsos and such. So far all I've found is the Damsel (with perma-baked-in black bangs on her face)... supposedly there's a Queen and a Race PitGirl, but I've played every gig I have at the castle and racetrack and found nothin'.

Independent skin tinting would solve a LOT of problems, and not just racial ones.

Moments like those I'm glad I own a lawn chair/umbrella combination

I'm still new to altering the band, it keeps changing my drummer between two different alien pirates, never keeping TDOG

This seems like a valid topic of discussion, but I will strongly emphasize that any negative racial stereotypes, slurs, or implications will be met with a heavy stroke of the moderator hand.

Keep it classy folks.
