Title: 'Asian' Theme coming out in September
Post by: cheng on June 14, 2013, 04:29:32
What major error or similarity to Geobra's Asian Theme coming out in September?

Not sure, your asian theme is much much better though.  :)

Uh-oh! Where is that chair from??? I'm pretty sure I've never seen it. Is it custom made?
Your Asian customs are so much more convincing than this fantasy theme they're relealising. Maybe the weapons and the dragons will be useful, though.

Your customs are wonderful, Cheng.  I think your use of PM parts in new ways is very clever.  Thanks so much for the picture.

Cheng, your customs are much more based in history than playmobil's fantasy "Asian" theme. Which to me makes yours  waaaaayyyy better.  You can tell your customs are done with a geniune love of the material and always look awesome.   :wave:

thanks Joe & El jefe!

I thought someone like LarryHHH would have pointed out that my custom/composition is very wrong ;)....I purposely put a wealthy Chinese man into the sedan and used 2 japanese bearers :lol:

Which brings me back to my question:
Do we want to continue telling our kids that "Hong Kong is the capital city of Japan"?

the Asian theme coming out is neither Chinese nor Japanese.....I'm sure it wont look any worse if it was solely Japanese or chinese :)

...even today's anime characters are clearly Japanese or chinese but not a mixture....you dont see a japanese anime carrying a chinese weapon or vice versa

I've yet to see anime characters that look Japanese or Chinese.

Don't get me wrong, I love anime and have been a fan since I was a kid in the 1970s watching Captain Harlock and Vicky the Viking.

in a way, I'm happy to finally know what Geobra is coming out for Asians after years of speculation. I didnt dare venture too far in case Geobra came up with better moulded parts than what I've been making.
and now that we see the direction Geobra is taking, I'm free to continue with mine "ala Playmobil" but in their early historical style of the 90s and the last decade ;)
