Collector series: clickies around the globe.
« on: May 30, 2012, 20:57:28 »
It might be nice if theres a batch of clickies to collect that each represent a different country. Pretty much a special series with some extra marketing, and with all the clickies representing a different country which shows clearly in their appearance.

This does mean clickies representing a stereotype, but surely we can take it from the friendly clickies.  :) None are soldiers or carry weapons, to inspire a message of peace to anyone who puts this little collection together.

Some suggestions:

-French clicky with a baret, black hair and a little mustache, striped sweater and carrying baquettes and a bottle of wine.
-Dutch clicky being a blonde woman in traditional dutch dress including clogs, cheese and several tulips.
-British clicky in a suit with a bowler hat, umbrella and cup of tea.
-Blonde german clicky in Lederhosen with a mug of beer and a bradwurst.
-American clicky with a shirt that has the american flag pattern over it, carying an american football and Apple pie.
-Grey bearded greek clicky wearing a white toga, carrying several parchments.
-Russian clicky in traditional russian outfit with a large russian hat. Comes with a bottle of vodka and a flute.
-Brazilian female clicky in colorfull carnival clothes with many feathers.
-Scottish clicky in kilt with red hair and bagpipes.
-Irish clicky in traditional green leplechaun outfit, carrying a mug of ale in one hand and a four leaved clover in the other.
-Chinese clicky in holiday outfit with a photocamera and firework.
-Belgian clicky with a waffle and chocolate. (not sure if theres any clothes associated with Belgium.)
-Japanese geisha clicky. (with traditional geisha haircut, not the one from the figures.)
-Indian lady clicky with red dot on her forehead, wearing beautifull Indian clothes, carrying indian musical instruments. (no idea about the names.)


Important thing is that the stereotypes shouldnt be offensive and should stay in good humor. Best thing is that each clicky can instantly be identified with the country they represent, and that none are millitairy.

Exactly, and they would be great to all put in a circle with their hands against each other, giving an idea of world peace.  :)

This is a wonderful idea, I would like to see a male and female represented by each country and would have the Irishman carrying a 3 leaf clover (representing St. Patrick's symbol of the Trinity.)

Sounds like a good idea as well, to have a clicky couple of each country instead of one clicky.

Very good idea.
And as they have shown already, they will know what stereotype will work and what won't.
Just take a look at the orange bus . The clickies look strange, but not one dutch person will take offence  :)9
Also, in their webshop, under direct service, they already have some generic families like 7980 and 7982.

It would also make for a great series to collect, getting all these clickies from all over the world.
Perhaps with a nice display-case as well?
It's OK to panic, as long as you follow the correct procedure
