Title: Who is he?
Post by: tahra on December 16, 2020, 23:02:26: I can't seem to find this klicky (or the torso)..

The printing seems somewhat familiar, but.. ???

Ideas?

Post by: GrahamB on December 17, 2020, 19:04:47: Tried a bit more, still no luck. Thought he might be a downhill skier with that slalom-shaped design, but no. Any sign he might have had a jacket?
Title: Re: Who is he?
Post by: tahra on December 17, 2020, 19:34:18: No idea if he is original... (a jacket would be a waste of the print, imo)..

I am just asking about the torso... the rest is common... I mean, maybe the torso is too, but I don't remember him (hence, bought!)

I also wondered if it could be a logo - was he a promo? But I came up empty on both accounts..

This is driving me nuts by now! How is it possible that nobody knows the guy? :o

All those were id'd - the new Quick "world klickys" thing (as expected - the "world" part)..

This one.. I don't know why, but he strikes me as older. :-[ However, he could just be a regular, recent, upcoming klicky, right?
Title: Re: Who is he?
Post by: tahra on December 29, 2020, 22:37:40: He has a keychain head, though I have no idea if original.

I can't believe nobody knows the guy... :-\ Here, KW, THAT site... :o

He really doesn't FEEL like an upcoming klicky to me (my sister agrees). Because. Because he just doesn't :P

Post by: GrahamB on December 31, 2020, 09:15:33: It does seem likely he could be a promotional keyring figure. Searching on eBay.de for "schlüsselanhanger" or "werbefigur" brought up many klickies I hadn't seen before, mostly well-known ones with additional printing, but not this one. I also tried using Google Images to find a match to the design on the klicky's chest, but no luck there either.

The mystery will be solved one day!

I tried finding the logo too, but with no success. IF that is even a logo. It's just.. it even doesn't look completely unknown to me... GAH. This is driving me nuts!
(since we don't do keychains, I don't look twice at them if the klickys are known - but I do notice when I don't know them... and try to get them. But I dechain them)

Also still to solve: Ruby's hair in black and Alex's in blonde... (besides those half transparent ones, but those are probably from the cleaning)

That was a while ago! I just assumed they were prototypes or mistakes, never used on a real klicky. Perhaps there were klickies planned, then withdrawn. Like the Starbucks ones?

Yes! I had forgotten about that :-[

Thanks ;)

Post by: GrahamB on March 17, 2024, 16:42:00: This one is still bugging me. I got Max Pfannholzer's 2023 Katalog of promo figures a few months ago. It covers 600 figures (review to follow shortly...) but this one definitely isn't in it. There are a few figures (12) without illustrations, so it could be one of those I guess, but only one has no description, a 2018 figure from Malta's Puttinu Cares. All the other Puttinu Cares figures have "Puttinu Cares" and the year issued printed on the back, so I don't think that is it.

Ditto. The darn logo does look familiar, but I can't place it.

It could also be a klicky from some set, but I think between us, SOMEONE would remember him?

I did get another with a keychain - with indian hair and a red headband (I think).. But no idea if that was the original one..
