Are the legs independent too?

Great setup. :love:

The black leotard...is that a normal torso or a custom?

I have never "bent" a klicky, how did you do it, is it hard for a newbie to do?

Post by: Hadoque on February 13, 2012, 02:26:50: Very nice! 8-) Their movements look very realistic and well positioned!

Are the legs moving seperately or is it customwork? I got a few of the figures-2, but the ballerina was not my top-priority so I don't know.
If she is like the swimming-pool klickies, then I suppose the seperated legs are custom.

It is just my imagination or the waist is narrower?

For those of you who want independent legs should wait until athletes series is released to confirm. I wonder if the gymnast on balance beam really will have such kind of legs or it is just a prototype…

the waist in this kind of klickies as well as speedo klickies are indeed 'narrower' (although i would say 'less squared' because they're as wide as the legs base)

Post by: macgayver on February 13, 2012, 16:41:05: Hi all

Thank you for your compliments

The figures are all custom, they indeed are like the swimmingpool figures
the legs are glued together

It is impossible to remove the legs from the body without breaking them

I'll try to make you guys a making off

we had a lot of fun searching the bags, and went several stores ;D

the black leotard is a custom

Bending : I use a tool that works with hot air (to remove paint from doors for ex.)
I recommend , practising on an old klickie
some people use a candle , but then you have the risk on burned black plastic
I know a frenchman that uses the oil wich in he bakes his frenchfries :-\

the trick is to heat the plastic slowly until it becomes soft
then you bend your part

good luck

hope I got all your questions

all the best

Post by: playmofire on February 13, 2012, 17:04:56: Outstanding customs and photos, Michael. Now that's an idea Playmobil should seriously look into following up, even though they would almost certainly need to simply the figures.

(I think ideas like this are what Playmobil hopes the PCC members will come up with.)
