But this time with washable colors...
-
I think the washable colors is a good idea. An easier sell to parents. It's a good concept, and gives us more white pieces which is nice for collectors. I would prefer more totally white items, but it's a start. Interestingly there are no animals at all in the series so far. I would have expected at least one dog.

I also was a bit confused on all the pre printed parts
It’s a welcomed addition but more white please
-
I think Freya would love to create her own dress designs.
This has also made me deep-dive into the online shop catalogue and I've come across the re-issue of the theater set with all those beautiful clickies (this is completely unrelated, I just meant to tell you that you are costing me money)

I did notice this on the UK site, but I wonder if it's a reissue or if they found some unsold stock? Anyway, while I like the set, it is £60 in the UK which is a bit steep.

yikes :(o): It's € 59,99 here, so £ 52,33. So not much better. I remember it felt expensive even when it first got issued. I think it's because I'm not actually interested in the theater itself :lol:

I like the idea of the Color sets (although I think Crayola will smudge), but I'm not excited by those particular sets. Hopefully, they'll release some others.

I wondered about that too. I'm leaning towards unsold stock because it's a strange choice for a re-release. I bought it on sale some years back because the figures are awesome. The theater itself is a giant storage device. It's not particularly aesthetic, and as an adult, I don't need the take-along feature.

That's the problem - the figures are great but the theatre itself is nothing interesting. When I was a kid I had a Pollocks Toy Theatre that did for my Playmobil - something like that would be a dream!

As I've commented elsewhere, the theatre is a failure because there is no mechanism to manipulate the klickies while they are on stage - you have to put your hand in, inevitable knocking everything over. You can't do shows with it.
