I don't hate pink at all...

But to see EVERYTHING pink, it's just ... too much.

I mean, a PINK BOAT!? And that gorgeous staff? And the wand? Gods, enough already. (I'd love pale grey. I like grey. And black. And brown, of course..)

And that "cultural influence" thing is propagated on and on by these unrealistic silly colors. Come on. EVERYBODY knows elf boats are greenish, or brownish, right? :P

I probably wouldn't hate pink if there weren't nearly so much of it. It is too much.

Yeah, it is cyclical.

Tahra, can you please check if the brown (sail/leave) mast can be held snugly in a klick's hand? why does it look so shiny (compared to the kung-fu staff)...is it just the flashphotography?

Brown mast? Of the schleich boat? If that's what you mean, no. There were pics of it with klickys in the PROCESS somewhere when I got it...

Thank you very much for that review, tahra. I really wanted to see what it would look like.
I'm afraid the boat looks exactly like I feared it would  :-\

But I am very interested in the Schleich one now  ;D

The little pieces that come with the PM one are pretty nice, but they can be found in other elvish sets from the theme. The clickies cannot, unfortunately. They are very pretty indeed. I'm looking forward to seeing what your Roman woman will look like when she's finished.

About the pinkishness... *sigh* I've bought a couple of elvish sets and then I had to create a box for 'anything pink', with all the pieces which I am hoping to spray-paint one day.

thanks for the review of an interesting set. I think I will wait till it hits the used market to see what can be done with it, or maybe it will get clearanced out at TRU someday
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
