Wonderful figure. I wonder if anyone will do a group buy on it for us?

Auch die Kultur, die alle Welt beleckt
Hat auf den Klicky sich erstreckt!

A fantastic figure! Very excellently done.

The trend of cultural figures continues to gain steam! It's only a matter of time before we get Don Quixote, Shakespeare, Attila the Hun? :D

This is what they need to be doing more of, not NHL teams!

I second Tiermann, put me down for a group buy. I can't wait! I'll take six.

PS Thanks Erik for bringing the glad tidings!

Attila the Hun is a cultural figure!

The detail of the jewel at the throat, as well as the coat, is taken from this portrait by Stieler, done near the end of Goethe's life:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Goethe_(Stieler_1828).jpg

The hat on the other hand is from the well-known painting by Tischbein, done when Goethe was in his thirty eighth year. The trousers seem to be from this also:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Johann_Heinrich_Wilhelm_Tischbein_-_Goethe_in_the_Roman_Campagna_-_Google_Art_Project.jpg

So a bit of a mix, but I think it's a good call as both these elements strongly evoke the personage, and combine well. And we can always take the hat off!

Playmofriends makes it possible.

Googling around, I found a lovely custom of the Tischbein painting on the PCC: http://pcc.pm/photo/goethe?context=featured

Did anyone else notice that he has printing on his shoes?
Title: Re: "Goethe", a new museum exclusive!!!
Post by: Macruran on June 21, 2016, 00:49:03
I did and I saw that the Tischbein does not show prominent bows. I didn't know what to say about that.

notice the detailed printing on the edge of his pants! that's a lot of value for money.
pants color not new right?
and those arms....black?
are they the same with those white frilly sleeves arms on the 'Marquee' looking klicky?
Title: Re: "Goethe", a new museum exclusive!!!
Post by: tahra on June 21, 2016, 07:21:25
The arms seem grey to me, like that pirate from the figures..

Yes there is a lot of paint there. It's a pretty high value klicky for the price I think.

Und das mit Recht; denn alles, was entsteht,
Ist wert, daß es zu Klicky geht!

I got mine yesterday. Very nice figure, but here I want to highlight its bookish quality.

The book obviously is a very welcome part. It faithfully reflects the first full edition of Faust I that appeared in Tübingen (at Cotta’sche Verlagsbuchhandlung) in 1808:

(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah278/fk113/book_zpsoh4b1u2s.jpg)

(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah278/fk113/Faust%201808%20edition_zpseb8r5hm0.jpg)

And there is a nice small leaflet included with information about Goethe's and PM's connection with Thuringia. The figure was produced for a Thuringian public body, after all.

To klicky, or not to klicky:
That's the question!
