If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

That guy on the rack is GREAT!  :lol:
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Back to topic now.

Today 70288 SCOOBY-DOO! Mystery Figures Series 1 was released in Germany. I know this is old news for the US Playmofriends, but here in Europe we were utterly excited – I was, at any rate. I looked forward to this day. :rock:

I was lucky and could pluck the entire range of 12 figures from an unblemished retail box, and am very happy with my new toys. The whole idea of scary figures that can be unmasked and pacified is quite appealing to young players, and the new parts are great for customizers. Still, let me start with a complaint.

It is about the "Ghost Diver", with the attractive head of the type first seen in the world of SUPER 4, seen on Dr. X, Sir Ulf and Grimmagus. I was looking forward to see it with a Figures-compatible neck, and was appalled that Geobra hadn't produced one: They just used the known SUPER 4 head, whilst supplying a grey Figures inlet! :omg:

I know that one can use regular heads with grey inlets, but it isn't easy to pull the head off again, especially with the lower part of the diving helmet in the way. And the head doesn't turn well, things are just too tight. But what bugs me most is that Geobra has been cutting corners, again: Clearly, it was considered too expensive to produce a new mould for this head with a new neck. I wish they wouldn't do that. :hmm:



Other than that I'm quite happy with the lot. Some great characters!

Best wishes
