Lego Figures of NASA Women

Lego is releasing 5 new minifigs of NASA women.  Things I noticed: 1 has white hair, 1 is black, 3 out of 5 are wearing glasses, 4 out of 5 have short hair, and only 1 seems to be wearing lipstick.  Used to be, the only distinctions of feminine gender were the lipstick and ponytail features on minifigs.  Yay, progress!

Actually, two of them are African American, but Mae Jemison has a darker complexion than Katherine Johnson, the lady portrayed in the movie HIDDEN FIGURES.
