Review at playkingdoms: Figures 27 (direct link)

Late... as always.

As always, comments welcome

Great review, tahra! You really got some great extras this time, and the hidden cupcake is quite funny! I also received a non-Fi?ures head for the space warrior.

I really like the short ghost figure and the figures you made from the cucumber figure parts and bat fairy figure parts!

Great review as always.  Some interesting info there, never heard of the wine queen concept. Lovely customs.

Thank you!

I also received a non-Fi?ures head for the space warrior.

I think some people did get a figure head for the space guy (not sure where I saw that - my old age)...

I really like the short ghost figure and the figures you made from the cucumber figure parts and bat fairy figure parts!

I didn't know what to do with those fat white barefeet legs... they are so... off. But I liked the klicky too... weird and all 

Some interesting info there, never heard of the wine queen concept.

Same, a friend remembered that, and looking, I think it's that... of course nobody out of Germany will figure it out, I think... I still don't understand what the grape thing is supposed to be - real grapes? 

But she makes an interesting figure, and we learn something - the PLAYMOKNOWLEDGE - you know, the stuff you only know because of playmobil

British police officers do indeed carry a stick/baton. We call it a truncheon but maybe it has to be wooden to be a truncheon technically 

I'd assume the White Rabbit is meant to be from Alice in Wonderland, but then his most recognisable feature is a pocket watch, which seems to be missing so it's a bit of a mystery.

Yes, I googled it - and some are like this.... and the extensible kind look like this too, in playmoform, I guess.... I really thought it was a mismold when I opened the first

Yes, I mentioned that - though I didn't know about the watch, not being really familiar whit the story....  (there were some cartoons when I was a cub.. and dinos roamed the Earth... )

A bigger mystery then. Though not as big as those human feet!

Thanks for another thorough review!

It's odd that Robin Hood has a gold sword but can't afford a new shirt. Surely a practical sword would be more his style.
I like the soldier. I don't have one in light blue (except that admiral some time back), and I have a weakness for klickies in uniform.
The Valentine's man is in desperate need of a Significant Other (or his mother) to tell him that that tie does not go with those pants (trousers for you Brits). The rosy cheeks are kind of cute in the context.
Poor Cupid with his child-sized wings! 
Not sure what to make of the fish robot.
The farmer looks good.
The rabbit really need a pocket watch and rabbit feet.
I love the sage.

Why a cucumber? 
Is this the first dark-skinned bride? I haven't kept up with the recent sets, but it did take decades.
I don't need an Arabian dancer, but the red color and the printing is lovely. I wouldn't have made her blue-eyed.
Bat fairy - I don't love the heavy makeup or the heart necklace. They could have leaned into the theme more. The dagger seems an odd choice. If you are going to have the advantage of flying, then you'd want to keep your distance with a longer range weapon.
I like the pilot - but yeah, no plane. The red lipstick would have been great if she was a WWII WASP.
The farmer is lovely.
The project manager(?) does need stripes on the arms to complete the suit look.
The mermaid is gorgeous. I don't collect mermaids usually, but I love the koi theme.
I hadn't heard of a wine queen either. I like the grapes because it's a new part (to me). A wine glass would be a nice addition though.

Probably stole it from a rich guy.

Not sure what to make of the fish robot.

It's hillarious, will get this at some point.

The rabbit really need a pocket watch and rabbit feet.

Agreed, it would have taken nothing even to add a printed chain to the vest. Now the feet have been pointed out it's hard to ignore that they used a mould from the Asterix theme instead of a proper rabbit foot mould. It would have been better to give him shoes then it could actually be used elsewhere. As it is a fat ghost is about the only thing possible. Red eyes look nice but rabbits with red eyes is a sign of myxomatosis, a fatal disease, then again it has ghostly human feet...

The wine queen with matching top is such a no brainer you have to ask why they gave her a green top.
The architect? does need stripes on the arms, I'll add these on my one. This actually stands out more (once pointed out) than the rabbit feet.

I do like the white rabbit though and I hope they do a mad hatter character at some point. They need an Alice too and some card soldiers, the Queen already exists. That just leaves the Doormouse for the core characters but not sure how they'd do that - probably a child with mouse head and a jacket that a tail could be clipped to.
