Title: angry eyebrows
Post by: Kenny on October 04, 2011, 17:58:49
Hi:

Has Playmobil made any African heads with "angry eyebrows"?

A search on the database turned up empty.

i don't think so...only indian/mediterranean figures (brown skinned, not black)

you can find them in pirate sets mostly (recent ones)

The stone age people (bone tribe) also have the "Indian" skin color.

I don't think there has been an "African" one with angry looks so far (I'll check).

Don't know if this has all of them, but it's still a great reference point when talking about different faces. :)

I do wish they would produce a skin color that is less red, more of an olive complexion. I really like that complexion a lot. I'm so white, I wish I had darker skin!

i know, i was just trying to be practical by following the (stupid) stereotype Geobra has used - they also describe the brown skinned klickies from an add-on family as "latino" (i'm latin american and i'm white ::) )

I was joking, since this always seems to be a bit of a minefield in here.  ;D ;D ;D

There's a wide range of skin tones in every background, as far as I can tell. ;) Rather than assigning labels to the different skin tones, I just like to have a variety in my dios, because that's how real life looks. I'd love to see a little more variety in the skin tones available from playmobil, as we really only have three colors right now, out of all the hundreds of possible tones out there.

about skin tones.... I have read in playclicks the the new fi?gure of Lara Croft has a new skin tone... more orange. It does seem like that by the picture. Anyone agrees? In fact it looks like a reddish color.. like the indians but a lot clearer.  :hmm:

Yes, that's quite true! Ok, we're better off with just the three we have, then!

we have a malaria stricken head too... its on the witch mystery figure... finding hands to go with that is a big problem... and why would someone with malaria be wearing gloves?  :lol:

Yeah, that is the most awful, jaundiced looking color!

the Lara Croft surprise figure does look a little darker - maybe she's tan from so many adventures in the jungle :P or just bad lighting ;D

I disagree! They give different personality to the klickies! Not all can be smiley and happy... some need to be grumpy, malevolent, mischeavious, evil, cunning etc their personality reflected in those faces... ... so lets see some more angry eyebrows  ;D

I've always liked these guys with the angry eyes, as long as they still have the classic smile. What I don't like is the new F?gures with sad faces or weird smiles. Having the angry eyebrows gives them some character.

I think I agree on the mouth thing. After all, one can be grumpy and still smile  ;D
