Any time Richard! I will always try to help!



Thank you, Bill!

I thought that I'd add a picture of the new Jungle set for comparison.
(Looks like they'll go well together.)

From the 4848r picture I'd assume that the legs are a clip on section of stilits, and the klickies feet are comcealed in the knees.

Like you guys, I at first assumed the temple guardians were discrete figures, but it makes for better play value if there's a normal klicky inside. An adventurer could be captured, transformed into a guardian and subsequently rescued, for example.  

Like the knights who have removable armor, I always think more pieces are better because then you can act out dressing for combat. The one piece arms may be more practical for some activities, but they do reduce play value in other ways.

Martin, is this a plot for a new story from you and Tim (Tiermann)?

I can almost see the two of you creating a fantastic jungle surrounding the old Aztec/Mayan/Inca ruins ... Hopefully, we'll all get to see your next Ancient (or 16th century) Mexican or Central/South American jungle story soon. Or, maybe a modern "Indiana Jones" jungle story?

All the best,
Richard

There is a good picture of them at PlaymoDB http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2000%207242;pic_num=2 You can see the leg section fitting into the torso.

Thanks for the pictures, Michael! ...

This klicky has a "two-sided" head?

"Normal" on one side and "green" on the other?

Michael, there seems to be a seam on the side of the legs. Is it possible to separate the legs at the seam? If so, what's inside? And, why did Geobra provide space (at the knees) for a "normal" klicky's feet?

Many, many questions ... ???

I'm pretty sure we'll both by buying this set when it's available, but we haven't discussed any story plans yet. I'm now working part-time at Wal*Mart so my free time is limited and at odd hours, and Tim has weekend plans booked for a while too. We got another Pirates episode photographed but I'm still post-editing. Another wonderful scene designed by Tim which I think everyone will enjoy.

Apart from my job, I have our shipping arriving soon to deal with, and we're moving into our new house around 15th April, so photography and photo stories are limited until I have my palatial Playmo-den-studio to play in. I plan to fit a 6' x 18' or 6' x 16' tabletop on trestle tables into the space, and have semi-permanent sets and displays on it.
