New licenced theme: ASTERIX, from 2022

[bml87]

I sure hope someone at design knew to make the fort walls clips align with the old western fort walls

As far as I can see it'll be a brown version of this part:



=> Which is indeed the clip of the old Western Fort and many other sets.

Exactly why I’m hoping the locations  of the clips line up with the old fort walls. I also hope they are solid as the old heavy western fort walls were.


As far as the perfectly correct facial features …..they were never popular here so I’m after all the awesome buildings, walls , furniture, tools, weapons and miscellaneous items.

I just have a sneaky feeling this theme will be similar to Heidi, no US distribution

Late to the party but... what is going oooon 

My mom grew up with the Asterix and Obelix comics!

At least they're trying new things, and doing a thorough job too. This is the entire A&O universe

All klickys are normal, or speedos (there are a couple), from the pics available now (if those prototypes do represent the real deal - I wonder if they didn't realize yet that those crappy prototypes look horrid in good quality pics?)

I do hope the fat centurion has fat legs - I find the use of normal legs with fat torsos lame in any setting, but "officially"?!

Anyways, this is wonderful news... (wallet disagrees, as usual) 

The prices are... well... no idea. 45 eur for a roman tent?!

Yes, what’s the deal with the prototypes in official ‘final box design’ pictures? They look terrible.

I think I’m skipping this theme after all. Not enough space - the Victorian mansion was bad enough - and most sets are too space-intensive. At first I thought I’d get some of the Romans, but on second thoughts my original run ones are enough.

Now if they did Tintin I might change my mind heh.

You need a bigger space, not less playmobil 

The grainy prototypes look like they came out of a 3D printer

I believe they not just look like but they actually used those prototypes for the pictures.

I sometimes use normal legs on fat torsos. Just look at human fat people (hey, you started the use of the derrogative adjective ;-): often it’s only their belly affected by gluttony and the lack of exercise. The thin legs protrude the underneath of the wobbly mass just normal.

Lol this isn’t America dude. To afford that kind of space where I live I’d literally have to be a MULTI-millionaire

^this. Me too.

They look horrid, along with the lame crooked stickers and crappy painting. I'm sure they're great for prototypes, and would be fine 20 years ago, with the low quality pics then. Today.. they look horrid. I don't understand WHY they keep those in the official site. Then again...

Sorry, I think it looks bad. You're right, it should just be the belly, but the space that shows in the middle, for me, no. But hey, you're the one who has to like them, so....   Would be very boring and limited (not to mention difficult) if we all thought the same.

Exactly. Only if the stupid balls cooperate. Which seems VERY unlikely.
