Before they joined Peter, the male/female ratio in Heartlake City was 1:18. That wouldn't be a very exciting place to live in if you ask me.
The situation had to be corrected fast, so there came not just one but two males in the same wave!
By the end of 2013, there were 3 males and 22 females in Heartlake City.
Andrew: 41015 Dolphin Cruiser
Matthew: 41005 Heartlake High
As I have discussed often before, the boys' head mold appears to be identical to the girls'. But LEGO had to invest in a brand new mold to make the boys' torso.
It would have been more cost-effective to produce boy mini-dolls using Peter's torso mold.
But that brawny body would not have looked quite right when combined with the boy head.
Both Andrew and Matthew wear the side swept minifigure wigs. The hairstyle looks perfect on those two boys as if it had been designed especially for them.
They both have a polo shirt on, but interestingly, the designs are different.
No new legs were designed for the boys. Matthew got Peter's legs, and Andrew got Stephanie's soccer pants legs!
Since their introduction, two or more boys have appeared every year.
