18th century soldier with a bolt action rifle? Come on PM, it's like you're not even trying anymore.

Crazy indeed. Some years ago they did a DS-add on soldiers set, in which an 18th-century soldier had a Colt revolver sticking in his belt. Now a very similar "mistake". I think it is done on purpose to keep a specific part (in this case the rifle) around.

The soldier is quite boring btw, just re-use of parts from klickies in other sets that are (being) discontinued.
That green longcoat - with exactly the same print- came at least twice with a pirate. The only thing preventing doing him as a custom up-front, are his arms which aren´t available yet in that specific green with white hands (for as far as I can remember/keep track).

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Tahra, do you have (such good) pics from some more novelties as well? Like from the new Pirates sets?

Thanks for the pictures!

I hate all these blind figures, I usually have bad luck whenever I buy them!

A friend of mine took better pics of that cat, so here they are... (click for full version)

Oh my, what a gorgeous sight! Thanks to your informant and thank you for sharing, tahra!

The Candy characters are most definitely unique, I like them more than I thought I would. Mrs Milkshake looks perfect as she is, and there appear to be plenty of interesting and out-of-the-ordinary parts to be used in customs.

The Scooby Doo characters are a nice bunch; is that a new beard piece on the prospector?

There are interesting new ideas among Fi?ures series: the gamer, the she-troll, the pirate lady, the bass (?) player, and the bagpipes player are total standouts. The new headset on the gamer has my attention.

The soldier is quite boring btw, just re-use of parts from klickies in other sets that are (being) discontinued.

Same with the policeman, I figured it would have a different torso print as was the case with the S16 one.

I hate all these blind figures, I usually have bad luck whenever I buy them!

That's why I spare me some time and buy them from eBay!  ;)

No, these are the only ones she took, unfortunately..  but. a LOT better than before! :)  We have gawked at them for quite some time by now..

Since we know nothing of those Scooby Doo things, they are all parts - some GORGEOUS amazing parts there! :love:

The "beard around the neck" will make it impossible to give klickies a neckpiece, collar or cloak.Not so good in my book. :-\
