This is a fun little set. I'm not sure who she is supposed to be, but she has PLANS. Our fierce lady comes in a nice dress; with lovely brown hairsticks, a sari wrap thing, a halberd, and white TIGER.
This is how I show up on dates, with a different shade of eyeshadow of course.
Weirdly, this set was in the "Still_to_come" section, so the sale did not apply, but it shipped immediately with everything else so it must have been in-stock.
My gripes:
- The blue eyeshadow. What is this, the '90s?
- The skin tone print on the arm is poorly done. Skin tone prints seem to be a problem area, as far as I've seen.

- The branding and parts number on the hairsticks are super obvious, and you see them from the back of the klicky.

Whoever designed this set has a strong understanding of Playmobil's target market. I mean, what child does not want to fight bad guys with their tiger bff while dressed spectacularly?

Forget pony sets. I want a series of Me, My Weapon, and My Apex Predator sets.

Thank you for the great review :)

That is soooo true. In some parts it makes no difference, or it's actually good (playmonut here), but in others (anything not modern, at least, I think).. looks weird.

Agree!
Rasputin:
A must have after looking over your review
Tiermann:
That's a great set, and I agree about a series. They are basically doing that with Ayuma, but you have to get big sets. The black panther one coming up is similar, the panther even has face paint. There seems to be a lot of superhero influence in the Specials Plus line at the moment
Ismene:
I don't mind discrete branding, but the hair sticks are just too small for the lettering to hide.
I hadn't considered the superhero angle. She reminds me of RPGs where you get a familiar and wander the world, doing random quests.
Ayuma has a lot of great parts, but also mutants. And it's too gimmicky for my taste. I'm not sure I want face paint on panthers.
