The new series was launched Friday 17th of July, two weeks ago. In what follows I will not give a comprehensive review, just want to gather some impressions. Share the joy that new parts bring.
Most excitement was aroused by the bagpipe player:
I have stated elsewhere in this forum that I have no feelings for this figure, but understand that others do.
(Perhaps their insightful comments can be copied to this new thread so that they can be read more widely?)I have more sympathy for a knight appearing in the girls series. The body is actually male, so, with me, she joins the boys.
I have a weakness for figures with bodies and legs printed in a shared pattern.
Tonight I figured out that the body of the dark-skinned knight actually perfectly fits the arms of
Willem van Ruytenburch, of The Night Watch fame.
So I can do away with the weird spiked arms of the original.
Finally, I like the red hair of the rock musician, but not the rest of him, so the hair is the only part that stays.
I am curious to find out what other people think of these figures, and the others of the series that I didn't get.
