is that a white version of the cape from the wedding carriage? because it doesn't look like a neck frill and the neck thing would not work with sleeve puffs but the soft cape would.

We were discussing that - reminded us of the black queen's neckpiece, but it's not...

The pilot looks like a jet fighter pilot w/great glasses. I guess he will be piloting one of the two fold up ones we have. It top bad that there really would be no way for Geobra to make a modern larger sized jet as all of them are military based. You really do not find civilian two person jet plane models. A plane that is the size in between the older jet passenger plane and the fold up. A two seater where the pilot and copilot are in a row not side by side. Maybe if it looked something intended for the space theme but would be easy enough to paint it into a fighter jet. All the helicopters models pretty much cover that need for a long time but there are too few planes.

Not really a jetfighter pilot. Maybe for a low-altitude subsonic aircraft, like a COIN- aircraft or something.
A jetfighter-pilot should be equpped with a G-suit and a completely different helmet  (this one is rather a helicopter-helmet), an oxygen-mask, etc.
I agree it would be cool if Geobra would release an aircraft that resembles more a "fastmover"!

That Indian chief looks awesome.

And it looks like they copied the shortened feathers I customized for my Aztecs... ;)

I think it is a new neckpiece, not a cape...

Stepmother, you mean... But why in Snow White colors? Either they got their stories mixed up, or I do...

I guess they're trying to make it only vaguely reminiscent of the story, so they don't have licensing issues. A handheld mirror makes me think more of Beauty and the Beast, really.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I don't know - I think they took a HUGE risk with the Lara Croft rip off.. I'm actually very surprised they didn't get sued. (spelling?) Or maybe they did pay licensing? Unlikely, and if they had, it would be known, no?  Or maybe whoever owns Lara is a playmobil fan?

A handheld mirror makes me think more of Beauty and the Beast, really.

Don't remember a mirror.. but she doesn't have a crown, right?  (my idea of Beauty and the Beast is Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman = :love: and :love: )

(I'm just copying the pics here cheng... they're on THAT place - just think it's better to see them so we can comment endlessly on every little perceived detail! :) )

Nothing new. Still don't know if we should keep one. But we only have one in long legs...

There's something wrong with the pic.. maybe the angle..

Yes the waist bend on the clown is wrong
They used some of the stick on jewels on the kings crown. That's something I hadn't thought of. I haven't used any of the ones I've gotten so far, maybe I should do up a crown. Or a Damien Hirst skull :)
