Please help....which original klicky has these arms?
« on: April 12, 2012, 01:45:44 »
my klickies' arms have been changing torsos :lol: ever since I learnt how to dismantle them ;D
and now I dont know where ALL these 3 pairs of matching arms come from.

can anyone help me identify them? there are many shades of brown that dont match (egyptian & Red Indian torsos dont match!).

I wonder if Heather would call these brownish-orange (and Egyptian/Red-Indians orangy-brown?) or the other way around..

..on photos they look quite similar so the only way to confirm is to fix them to these armoured torsos (or if you dont have these torsos, fix them to a Red Indian/Egyptian and then they should NOT match)

Hmm, I took a look and couldn't figure out which figure those are from. :( They must be quite rare. I thought I knew a few that might have them, but they all seemed to be different shades of brown.

thanks Pynedor!
...I've often asked why PM has to have so many shades of green/blue etc...I dont think kids notice or bother :P

...but now with Fi?ures, there's even more reasons (besides economy in manufacturing processes) to standardise to say just 3 shades for blue/green/brown ;D

and of course us customisers would have an easier life and have less redundant coloured parts ;)

my torsos are from this Arab (as you can see, this Arab's arms are similar in colour to our Red Indians too)

Nope, they have white hands. And he said they aren't.

thanks for watching out bb! :love:

and Mike1003: thanks for helping...I'm afraid these egyptian torsos and arms have a different shade from the Arab's torso...I'm just lost for words as how best to describe these different brown shades (hope i dont further confuse by showing this Egyptian)

..anyway I need these arms as brown matching sleeves (their hands has to be light skin colour)

My respects, Master cheng! I can't tell you where those arms are from, unfortunately. BUT, I have one pair I just found in my spares. I have popped too many clickies to remember which clicky they belonged to, yet, I'd be happy to send to you along with our current business.  ;)

WOOH WOOH!!!! thanks Cowabounga-Arnaud!!! :wave:

so PFs,
I'll still have to find another 6 pairs so i'm asking collectors who dont pop all their klickies
(or those who do but have fantastic memory)
please, please help me identify which klicky they come from..you dont have to give me yours...I'll try to buy them from DS  ;)

....since I have 3 pairs amongst my own customs (and never purposely bought multiples of these unusual coloured arms), I'm still very curious and hope there are more than 1 type of klicky that come with these arms (then more chances of getting another 6 pairs from DS ;D)

Wow... thats a hard one...  :eh?: At some piont I recall asking the same question... are there arms the same colour as that torso  ???
I am certain I've never come across any such arms in the Knights theme, otherwise I'd have spare of them (unless it was an eagter egg special)... nor in the vikings theme, where the torso was also used... bb is correct, egyptian arms have tan hands, so the arms are not from any egyptian klicky... My guess would be its from any othere possible theme  :-\ Victorian (there were multy-coloured suits all over the theme) sports, outdoors, city life, farm... the colour could be from anywhere, resembling a farm vest or a suit or a training uniform..

Now... Its probbly a long shot, and it mostly looks deep orange, but, could it be that the following klicky have the arms you need, cheng?

Seeing the pic again, I am not certain its the colour you are looking for, after all  :-\

thanks WK!
every suggestion can also mean an elimination and getting closer (7999 klikies to go :lol:)
ok...seriously, I'm very sure I dont have three of this 4967 klicky's torso (dont even have one :P)
but you could be right....photography can easily make a right colour look wrong ;)

But if 4967 arms matches, I'll buy another 6  ;D
..but can any owner of this '4967 farmer' confirm whether his arms match the Arab Special's torso?
