Wonderful customs, Hadoque.  Playmobil would do well to follow your ideas.

Monterzuma looks just the part and the mounted conquistador is superb.

If you're supposed to be politically correct with toys, you can't even make Romans (slavery, world dominion, massacres...), or guns and canons for that matter.

I don't think it's our job to judge people who lived in different times with different mind-sets, however they acted. You can't apply our standards to their lives.
All people throughout history did things that would now be considered cruel. To other people or to animals, to women, to children...

So let's just enjoy the good things history can teach us. Very cool customs, Hadoque  :D  8-)

Superb looking Conquistadors, Hadoque!  I really like the diverse and historically accurate clothing and weapons you've chosen for them.  They would look magnificent together in a small diorama. :)
