For these kinds of legs, go to Justforklicks ... That was possibly the only place were I found something like!

And, in particular ... click HERE to see Playmobil legs like Gong Li ...

Hello, Timmy ... 

The burden of proof is on Cheng!  That joker!

Take a look ...

Those look more painted than the first ones, now we have a closer zoom.

The legs were originally all black, an the white and red have been painted on.

You can see a red mark on the second pair in that has gone slightly over the line intended.

Just to be clear, I'm not accusing Cheng of trying to deceive anyone, as he never said these were official Playmobil legs.

For those of you who don't know who Gong Li is ... Click HERE ... 

Well, the streaks of gray don't quite do her the same justice that they did Jane Seymour.

But, the fact she isn't dyeing it--that's Gong Li!  The Marilyn Monroe of China!

I definitely think they've been painted too.

I was uncertain about this when I saw the first pics, but the larger view enables us to make a comparison between several figures. I can now see some very small differences on the cuffs and sandals that would not be present on factory-printed klickies.

It's very neat work, but then I would expect nothing less from a talented customizer such as Cheng.

[Richard]

OK, Sylvia ... 

I definitely think they've been painted too.

It's time to share Cheng's latest post at GW-PC ...

Sorry my dear friends...

i don't log in on weekends as you may have noticed after so many years 
... honestly, i was going to post more pictures today (I sprayed another 4 over the weekend with an even more versatile color combination) but my daughter still hasnt charged her new cam till last night..

... BUT i better clear the air before someone goes troppo
(and i should have typed "My Asian legs"...all my Asians run on western legs )

...free hand painting is against my own rules, but i do spray on smaller areas (like shoes many times in the past)...our dear Gordon quite rightfully mentioned that i allow myself to make only reversible customs (so when i spray small areas, i console myself saying that they can be easily wiped off ).

... i just masked and sprayed black&white over a pair of red legs and i think i managed to improve my next 4 to attain my own 'factory-finished' standard

... its a long wait for 2009 and there might not be anything like this..if at all Asian 

... so with these Asian legs now, i don't have to wait (of course I'm praying they'll come out with those Japanese sandals which are quite cumbersome to spray (on bare feet sprayed white for the 'socks') 

As for the torsos ... well, that is the easier part ... so many possibilities now ... so, Geobra ... if you're watching ... please understand that this is just a stop-gap measure ... we still need your mass produced and differently moulded Asian legs 

Last but not least, my dear Richard, my apologies to our friends in Playmofriends ... i didn't know about it until this Monday morning ... sorry for the disappointment ... I know of no new legs from GB ... we would expect such revelations from the playmowelt members first 

So, there you are my friends. Mystery solved. Except for ... What's Cheng now going to do with the legs?

To be continued ...

All the best,
Richard

[Martin Milner]

Maybe he's preparing for the Olympics?

[Timotheos]

Ouch, here's a pair of Asian legs (see attachment) attached to Gong Li's sister.

The set she comes with includes her brother, niece, and nephew.

[Richard]

Here's the latest from Cheng!

Thanks guys!
And, sorry for the wait...

Here are some Asian torsos on my Asian legs ...
 
(It's magnified as usual ... you can imagine when its really much tinier on our shelves and mine are far and not directly under my warm yellow ceiling lighting ... so they ARE factory-finished in my eyes
