The new sets have a lot of clickies with the new skin colour: the guy driving the campsite maintenance cart, the little girl in the red rubber boat set, the woman that comes with the yellow tent, the boy and the woman from the new trailer...

It mostly comes as a surprise to me, because I can never tell from the picture on the box.

Me neither. The colors are not that similar in person. I wonder if it's their lighting or if they are making changes after the product photos are shot.

(I miss PlaymoDB).
"Find a kicky" still works but I'm not sure this skin colour is included yet (face colours on playmoDB include brown, red-brown and light skin tone, which are presumably the first 3 skin colours alluded to in your title?).

As far as I can tell, the search doesn't include this skin color. But yeah, I mean the 4th normal human skin color.

Why? Real-life Asians come in more than one color.

4th normal human skin color yes, white skin has been around since the first ghost. I'd gues thats around the time the light brown indians where released as well.

Either way it seems like a nice addition, it provides a realistic tan to clickies. The darker brown skintone is suitable for indians, arabs and such but on blonde clickies it looks like an unhealthy tan, as if they where in the sun way too long. Brown and black haired clickies are also instantly mediteranean, arab or indian with that medium brown skintone, so for those clickies the tanned skintone is great too!

I don't count the weird ghost/alien/whatever colors. There's a lot of them, and I don't know the exact order.

It's really the most versatile skin color. It can be used for tanned Caucasians, mid-color-range Asians, Mediterranean klickies, light Middle Easterners, lighter Hispanics, lighter South Americans, assorted multi-ethnic combinations...
