I'd say it's for diversity and inclusion; left handed people would love
to see their hero being like them. Identification? Projection? Not sure the exact
term.
Ah, and you shouldn't post links to sites selling LEGO
I'd say it's for diversity and inclusion; left handed people would love
to see their hero being like them. Identification? Projection? Not sure the exact
term.
As far as I undestand from different discussions:
Official pics: The goal is to show most of the features.
Instructions: You’ll notice many (most) minifigures are lefthanded when
built. It’s because most are looking to the right (because they are on the left
page), and lifting the hand and putting the acessory in it would hide the torso.
People: Most people are righthanded, and when they add an accessory to
a minifigure, they are holding the minifigure in their left hand and are approaching
with their right hand, so on the left of the minifigure.
Also, we often say “strong hand”… but it’s wrong, it’s the “deft hand” and the
strong hand is the other one.
Think about when you’re on a ladder (or hanging from a tree branch), which hand
will you use to hold the ladder (branch) and which hand will you use to reach
for something?
If you’re righthanded, you’ll hold the ladder with the left hand and reach /
do stuff with the right hand. And vice versa for lefthanded people.
And if you try with the other hand, not only it will be more difficult to do
what you need to do (change the lightbulb / grab the fruit) but you’ll feel unsteady.

Ah yes left/right, mixed the side due to the mirror effect

That's silly, I'd use my feet on a ladder!
But I laugh imagining Nubs on a ladder having a pizza in his left hand.
