Review at playkingdoms: Figures 20 (direct link)

This time, I had help...   ;D

bml87:
Thanks a lot! Always nice to check out if I missed some details!

About the red handkerchief, it was in a couple of sets already: https://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-06-5640

About the "fat frame" in the clown: I mentioned that too, so I thought, let's change that, but apparently it doesn't bend anymore with a "normal frame" and I remembered afterwards, all the "old type" of klickies use the "fat frame" (as far as I know).
And let's not forget the amazing golden version of the tuba, which hasn't been released since 2001 (!) in set 3943, unless you are rich and got it via Playmobil Pro in 2019...

Can't believe the fairy is indeed an exact copy of series 6 :o ... I can name at least 5 other figures that are worth a 1000 times more to repeat...

The cookie hearts are accurate by the way and called "lebkuchenherzen", here you go: https://www.lebkuchen-welt.de/lebkuchenherzen/?p=1 . I have seen them in Cologne during the Christmas market.

Thanks - and some even recent.. though I don't have any of those (bought new).

Doesn't matter for male torsos, unless for the roman legs, I think..It's harder to sit then - but doable, as my female with roman legs can prove...

I know we have it - and not being core, I don't really keep track  :-[   I know we have that set (maybe twice?) - nothing says "merry xmas" like klickys hanging in the xmas tree.. one of the creepiest sets ever.

I meant the holder and the bracer on the seller... I looked up the hearts - they look tasty. ("lebkuchenherzen" seller was... well.. a mouthful... :P )

StJohn:
Thanks! Always a highlight.

As to the kept - I wonder why you didn't swap Opera Man's cuffs for white. I personally find them in red quite disharmonious, and there are plenty of white ones around.

Thanks again for the insightful comments. :wave:

Tiermann:
Great review as always. Not the strongest series but the dia de los muertes figures are major highlights. It's just sad to combine something the clever with so many repeats of existing figures with common parts.  If they are going to repeat why not something that's only ever been in one set from like 10 or even 20 years ago instead of something so recent?

I think the rubber bands on the tool bag has to do with the mechanics of bag filling. If the tools are in a big bag like that it could easily clog up the automatic fillers or get stuck sticking out the top when the package  gets to the heat sealer.
