Figures Series 28 (Boys 71889, Girls 71890)

[StJohn]

The most recent series were released on July 4th and are, as usual, among the highlights of the collector's year: things may be tough, but Fi?ures still manage to brighten the day. I am not doing a complete review, just bring here some pictures, soliciting comments.

[StJohn]

First: the Highland Warrior.



A homage to the awesome Highland Warrior of Series 6, with the exact same kilt and belt.



Hatwear, legs and body print however suggest a more recent historical date than the original Highlander; I'm thinking about the Battle of Culloden or thereabouts. I wonder whether a musket wouldn't have been more suitable than a sword and shield.

[StJohn]

Next, a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, a.k.a. Mountie.



Very nice, with two distinctive arms and a yellow stripe down the legs.



I do wonder whether this Mountie is carrying the right weapons for his job. What use is a bayonet writing parking tickets?

[StJohn]

We now get to the Viking / Northern Warrior.



I'm very happy to see a LOT of Orc green in this series. This pariticular shade of colour used to be scarce but has come into fashion with Playmobil.



The hair and beard are one piece, first seen with Playmo-Friends 70810.

[StJohn]

More Orc green is with the Knight. Uninspired.



The body and arms are plain without printing. In Orc green.

[StJohn]

Yet more Orc green with this lady. What is she supposed to be?



She's pretty, though. Please note the face printing



The rubber coat was first seen with the Vampire (Hunter?) of Boys Series 21.

[StJohn]

The Marching Band Girl's hair doesn't quite fit the chin band of her hat.

[StJohn]

I'm ending for the moment with this lady.



I would have liked a simpler skirt underneath the hooped skirt.



She clearly is a match for Everdreamerz One's Mr Cookie Bear.

The highland warrior I might get, same with the woman with the long green coat. Not sure yet about the northern warrior.

Why the Mountie needs a bayonet? to slash your tires with if you don't pay your parking tickets of course!

Thanks for posting those, looks like another good series 👍
