If the old stables were normal houses, this new "stable" is like a modernist house designed in 1956 by a Finnish architect! Really "mod". I can't blame them for trying something new, they perfected the stable in Nativity III, and the figures in Nativity II and Kings II. Those will never be surpassed in my view.
peasants - they look a LOT like the previous ones... Sigh. He has the same legs, right?
Same legs, arms, hair and beard as Joseph III. Lacking III's robe, but adding a LUDICROUS hat! I suppose he's trying to "get hip" to fit in with his avant garde stable!
What about his stick though? Is that new?
Mary IV is almost exactly the same as Mary III too, just slight alterations.
Kings are okay, I'm just glad they didn't use the Egyptian crown like in III. That was very irritating. Egypt is to the WEST of Bethlehem, so the wise guys from the east can't be Egyptian.
living room.. I like the guy and the balls on the tree (MORE blinkies! GAH)
I like the tree and the card tree and...ANOTHER MINIATURE NATIVITY! This time with a different color star. COOL
The angel looks like she'll get a chill. Do angels get chills?
Oddly enough they get chills only when exposed to the flames of Hell.
