Lego toys becoming more violent: Study

Yeah... next thing you know, the demure Barbie will shed her gown or apron and starts wielding a sword, morphing into Xena the Warrior Princess.....Wait a minute, there's already a Xena doll in the market!

Note how LEGO defends itself towards the end of the article using the concept of 'conflict play'....

Also interesting to me is the mention of humour to temper violence....I find this to be quite true in cartoons today....Compare Transformers with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Dragon Balls. In Transformers, you get a kind of 'raw' violence (is it true?), but in the latter two, there is still violence, but this is diluted through the use of humour. The Japanese are probably best in doing this, being experts in using both violence and humour simultaneously in their anime productions....

For Qns regarding violence, humour, toys, childhood and business...
