Do you like the new options for klickies' faces?

Yes, they add new dimension to characters in photostories or customizing.
No. They're terrible! I like the classic style.
Don't care. I can change it out if I don't like it.

I voted yes! I may not like some faces like the scatter, but the different styles do offer more possibilities in customising and photostories! Playmobil is after all about creating your own world! And you need more face expressions to achieve it! The old plain smile is the best of course, don't get me wrong, but the nnew variety is much more sophisticated and interesting, apart from a few exeptions!

I voted no, its just not playmobil. I wouldnt want them to end up like lego.

the smile is what keeps the toy innocent and friendly. Its kind of a symbol of the toy, and tribute to Hans Beck's vision. He would not like these different faces either I imagine, considering something like it was never done in all those years.

I don't like the new faces, the only other faces other than the classic "smile" I like are the "angry eyebrows" one and the new "sad" face, they're still very "Playmobil-ish".
As long as you can choose between "new" and "classic" face I don't care much.
I have series two of the Fi?ures complete, and I've turned all the "smirky-snarly" faces around, so there's no problem there. :)

So you can confirm all the odd ones are "doublefaced"?

Yes, they are-the "punk", "vampire lady", "skater", "convict"-they all are turnable.The only one whose head you can't turn around is the "tattoo-faced knight", but I've got plans for him, lol! :)

:)

But the knight's face isn't based on the normal face?  (I mean, we have plenty of printings over the normal face.. and then there's that lame halfeyes with a line over, (usually badly) PRINTED, that I have NO idea what they're suppsed to be)

It's the normal "angry eyebrows" face, with a rather cool (for a klicky) tattoo added.With me these heads will most likely end up on somekind of "Pictish" warrior, lol! ;)

I think that the new faces are terrible, and that Playmobil should stick with the classic face. With the new faces, the klickies are beginning to look to Legoish and the traditional smile is one of the things that really makes Playmobil special for me. :brownhair:
Life's essentials: food, water, shelter and at least one klicky.

The Knight has a normal face but with a cool eye tattoo around the left eye.
