I am (finally), starting to put the new reviews online, here: Super 4 Reviews (link on playkingdoms)

This time we only got three sets - the dragon, Gonk and the aliens.

So, started with the Green Dread  :love:

Super 4: 9001 - Kingsland Dragon with Alex (link on playkingdoms)


 
Alex was a HUGE disappointment. The wizard is gorgeous. Unfortunately, couldn't get my hands on repeats so far :(

The Green Dread was well received:



(well, more at the link)


The other two sets will follow.... I am missing a couple of pics for the Gonk review :( :-[

Aaah! Nice review at playmokingdoms, Tahra. Good to see details of those two new hair types too!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I think the wizard used the potion to turn the cat into the dragon. Ruby gets turned into a dragon too but that might be another episode. Great dragon poses, it's bigger than I thought too.

Thank you - I had posted that hair before in the PROCESS... got it in a lot - the one I mistakenly thought was Leonora's in black :(  Still nice - variety and all.

Common on playkingdoms since.. ever. The first dragon always insisted in hugging EVERYONE.. while saying "Little frriende" :)

Ah... Right. I REALLY REALLY wish there was a PROPER edition. Unknown concept to germans, I believe :(

As to the size of the dragon - same as the black dread, so we knew he is HUGE.

Hair is different, but the same "type" of head, yes. It's really really nice... and the hood too.

Great review and makes me happy that I ordered both the dragon and Gonk set.

My wife brought me back the Pirate Chameleon and I quite like it even if it's not perfect.
There's not enough room to properly stand a figure behind the wheel on top of the boat.

I wonder if they'll make a Medievalia or a Fairyland Chameleon in a third assortment.

Gong was supposed to be next... but I need two more pics.  ::)  :-[

If this version of the Chameleon was metal instead of green, might have bought it, but it would still be a mistake (for me!). Like I said, it is far too modern inside to play as something else... and the outside is too old for "space". We have the original one and it's great!  :love:

And the second one is online:

Super 4: 9004 - Giant Ape Gonk (link on playkingdoms



The major problem is the box (ok, and the bananas).

But Gonk (though far from being a giant) is REALLY cute.
