70382 Fighter with Tiger

<< < (2/2)

Pynedor:
Great review! Thanks!

It would be excellent if there were a matching purple robe arm instead of the poorly printed one. And, since they're specific to the side, multiples wouldn't help to fix that. :-\

What colour is better then? :lol:

For this set, I was thinking it would fit more with an anime or manga (or even just fantasy) sort of theme, but RPGs work too! I agree that there is certainly a modern superhero influence shown in some of the sets though.

Macruran:
Hero + animal would be a cool series  <*) :rudy:

Yes, and it's not a particularly common shade of purple, so I'm not going to have a spare arm to sub in. It was an interesting stylistic choice, but the execution failed.

TBH, I don't particularly feel klickies need eyeshadow. It's not like they have eyelids. It's too precarious to erase though - might lose an eye.
IRL, I prefer earthy tones with a bit of shimmer; makeup that does not take over your face.

Lots of RPGs are based on generic fantasy lore (as far as I can tell, as someone who hasn't played an RPG in ages), so fantasy/RPG theme same difference.
If we're venturing into manga and anime land, I have requests. But fun sets could be made without crossing into trademark territory as well.

Yes. :( I haven't bought one of these yet, but, since I saw it, I've been trying to figure out how I want to change the arms when I get one. Perhaps a sleeveless arm without printing would work nicely (for one or both arms).

I agree. Some of them are quite unnecessary, and bad printing can make them even worse. :-\

That certainly sounds more pleasant. :)

That's true. She would definitely fit in nicely as a fantasy RPG character. And many JRPGs have similar fantasy settings to those commonly used in anime and manga anyway.

Hopefully we won't have too long to wait before we start seeing more sets with this influence! :D I would guess that they will also be similar to this set though (what we would expect in a fantasy setting). There are plenty of other anime and manga settings and themes, but I'd be even more surprised if Playmobil were to try to expand to some of them.

I don’t particularly like the face makeup at all! I like the fancy clothes on many (not all!) more modern klickies, including this one. But I don’t like the garish makeup.
