Could have been A LOT better.
The 3 Wise Men/King are nice, especially the green one on the left. He has those wide sleeves!
And his torso reminds me somewhat of a Scotsman!
The other 2 are okay, the middle one apparently has no print on the torso, only on the skirt. The right one looks nice too, maybe the prints are a bit overdone on him?
The house is nothing for me. Looks to playmo-123 imo.
Angel is ... well ... way uglier then the previous ones, which were so great with their big skirts.
The barn is disappointing.
I already said it when we saw the small picture; it looks rather like a carport then a barn!
A much simplified structure and without a backwall...
And - like Tahra said- the donkey and the bull are now replaced by baby-animals !!
Mary & Joseph look indeed much the same as the discontinued ones, and they picked one of the worst hats they could for Joseph.
We must probably be cheerful they didn´t give him the Canadian Mountie-hat like they did with Don Q.
Only positive about the whole set is maybe Joseph´s torso, which might be useful for all kinds of historical civilians.
No more shephard and no sheep.
Let´s not talk about the acessories in the set, they are almost non-existant.
I see a not so far future were such a set will consist of just Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus and some cardboard and will cost 50 euro.
