Is that a "wrap around" skirt, or new legs for the bikini figures (the black fairy and the blond on the boat)?

They don't seem to sit :(  Guess we'll have to wait.

Is it just me, or are they less creative with female figures than with the male ones?

Theres always some nice ones there, but always quite a few that seem rather generic. Like theres always two or three princesses in a fancy dress.
The tennis and mp3 lady also seem very similar.  The princesses seem to pretty much always wear pink too, they should at least go for some other colors.

thank you thank you thank you again Mr.ZooKeeper! :love:

I keep looking at the series 4 and 5 Fi?ures, and I notice that almost all of them now have the thick wrists... That's unfortunate. :( I suppose I better start stockpiling the old arms! :lol:

you're referring to old sleeveless arms vs new sleeveless arms only?

I don't know. I tend to like the girl figures better than the guy ones. I don't want aliens and clowns and stuff, I just want historical and fantasy figures. I could definitely use less pink (how many blonde princesses in pink dresses do we need?), but I'm a sucker for the hoop skirts. Anyhow, Snow White has blue and yellow, and there's a Special princess in a lovely yellow dress.

It is the same skirt as the fairy in Series 2 of the Figures
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

Mostly, but some of the others (like the Roman) have them too. :( It looks like all the Series 5 girls have them.

A pain because you can't use the "bracers" on them :(

I think it's a matter of taste and interests. To me all the boys F?gures seem repetitive and uninteresting, just a bunch of knights and various warriors, and some sort of space dude or alien, boring. The girls F?gures seem absolutely fantastic to me!
