At what age do you use klicky kid / klicky adult
« on: December 31, 2007, 19:29:01 »
Hi

What in your opinion is the cutoff age when a klicky kid gets represented by an adult piece?

< 4 = baby figure?
< 12 = kid figure
13 adult figure

I'm doing a group photo for my Earl's family and am experiencing the moral dilemma of when to use kid figures and adult figures for his kids ranging in age to 17.

mmm - now there's a difficult question. I guess I would do it like this:

If I wanted to lay the emphasis on someone's innocence and childishness, I would use the child-klicky. If the emphasis should be on someones maturity, I would use a adult klicky.

But that's just my 0.01 worth  ;)

I wouldn't use a baby figure even for a 2 year old - once they can walk and hold stuff the baby doesn't cut the mustard.

I'l use a child figure for anything from a toddler to a ten year old.

If you have any old female klickies with the skirt but no bosom, they do well for a young teenage girl. Teenage boys are more difficult to distinguish, but of course no hefty stubble or beards.

Hello, Timmy ...

What in your opinion is the cutoff age when a klicky kid gets represented by an adult piece?

Where do you come up with these questions? ... :lol:

Pretend that you're asking the "godfather" this question.

So, here's the "godfather's" answer:

Whatsa matter you ...

A baby's a bambino!

A kid's a kid!

And, an adult should get a job!

And, that's that ... Capiche?

I hope that was helpful, Timmy ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

I "apologize" for the godfather's trivialization of something that was obviously of importance to you, Timmy.

Over the years, I have found that the godfather's lack of perception and compassion can sometimes result in his making rude and even hurtful remarks.

Sorry, Timmy ...  :-[

All the best,
Richard
