I think a lot of the characters are pretty unattractive. They remind me of the old "claymation" creations from years ago. I used to dislike the top head but got stuck with one eventually, and I found that when he aged and turned gray, he was really quite distinguised looking. Go figure. My big problem with most of the characters is the hair. Often it looks to me like a cheap wig hurriedly crammed onto the head. The looks of the characters seems to be an LDW thing, but it would be nice if they tried for more human-looking peeps in a future game, imho.
