Looks like this painting is the model for the klicky:



I think a stick would have been more appropriate than a sword for the klicky, as he's presenting some sort of document in his role as founder of a university. Better would have been BOTH stick and sword, as this picture.

...they don´t accept orders for less then 25 euro (shipping-cost excluded), so at a price of 2,99 euro per figure you have to buy 9 of them at least. It´s like it is intended for "re-sellers only"  >:(


I've wondered the same myself for things which are restricted to the German market or have exceptionally high postage costs on them and the Rijksmuseum is guilty of that too.

Thanks for the info, what another great figure!  8-)

It really is, isn't it? That white jacket looks gorgeous and the details are insane all around.

Spot on! The hair is a good match, nice. So it's a cuirass he's wearing, wonder if the print will work without the jacket too.

It's a printed torso. At least  I never thought it could be something else...

I'm afraid I failed to make clear what I meant in my previous comment.

If I had not seen the painting, I wouldn't have guessed that the torso print was a cuirass (thought it might be some kind of vest?). I hope such print is complete so that it can be used in customs even without a jacket to cover it up, unlike the torso from Series 13 butcher and Series 15 sleepwalker.

I'd like to buy one. StJohn will you do it? I bet Daniela would do it, but I bet she would like a break from group orders too!

Sorry, I missunderstood  :-[   I seriously doubt the torso is printed on the back... but I would love that too!

Done. Glad to hand over the baton to Daniela at any stage before ordering.
