71521 - Karl Friedrich Schinkel
« on: June 08, 2024, 04:55:09 »
New figure of German architect and designer Karl Friedrich Schinkel available from July. Relying on Google-translate, but it seems they will ship it if you e-mail them to ask (but it also says it's 'only available in Neuruppin so...)

For Fontane at least, it seems that only Germany can order via the web shop, although I didn't try emailing.

The painted sideburns are a bit of a disappointment, but I suppose the normal ones wouldn't work with that hair and a change of hair would risk him looking too much like Fontane.

The whole 'selling them online' seems weird to me, since the article talks about how limited it is, and that children get one with entry. Personally I would release them for general sale after the exhibition.

Neither of them look much like the real people. Fontane should have an Asterix type moustache and a new hairpiece showing a receding hairline. Schinkel should have printed sideburns and a new hairpiece suited to early 19th century fashion.

I just did a bit of googling because I don't know what these guys looked like off the top of my head.

Fontane does need a bigger moustache, and hair more at the back/sides and less at the front.

Schinkel seems to have a brutus hairstyle. I think it would look best if the hair and sideburns were molded as one piece, like they did with Elvis and Spock. His sideburns aren't as dramatic as the current Victorian sideburn piece.

It might not be cost-effective to mold new hairstyles for exclusives, but I would like a brutus hairpiece for other period klickies. And I know exactly how PM can make a profit off of it. Mold it in dark brown and produce a Regency-accurate Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet duo pack. A classic women's Regency hairstyle is hair up in the back, bangs in the front, and ringlets on the side. Never underestimate Janeites. They make Trekkies look half-hearted.

Period characters are a great idea, throw Outlander in there too.
