'Clothes pegs' for me,  but I think its 'clothespins' in US and CDN.

Yes, clothespins. As far as I know, this part first appeared in the Victorian laundry set.

Great stuff I've got to admit the whole shopping mall theme isn't really for me and perosnally I'm not particularly keen on those big dresses but, I guess I can see the appeal for little girls particularly of dressing and undressing figures and trying out different hairstyles in the salon at least yours is getting plenty of customers.

I like the camping set a little tent would be just the thing for taking with me so my Klickies can properly enjoy camping with me this summer although I'm considering just improvising some skewers in the ground for a basic frame and finding an appropriate material for draping over.  Anyway it looks good like the Klickies particularly the little girl with the sandals and the bandanna nice touch

I love your commentaries on the new sets, Gaston, they always make me laugh! I do love how their shoes always match their panties. :lol: I guess if you wanted to do a swimsuit contest it would work out. ;)

And yeah, the chair in the salon is a bit awkward. I love the new dresses but not being able to sit down is a bit of a problem.

The pink is a big problem for me too, but I got the hair salon set too because there were some things that were too nice to pass, like the wrist watches and the lady clickies.

And all the camping sets are great  :)

I really love those tents (that set is on the way ;) ), but the hair salon thing looks more like an execution table than anything else...

I hate it that they can't sit, and I think the "dressing up" is not playmolike at all. But that could be me.  :P

I'm glad to see these reached you with the crazy import controls in your country!
Well.... there's always someone who finds the way to smuggle things in  ;) ... and then I buy them  ;D
I don't understand the "camp" thing  :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

Some things don't translate easily, Gaston!
Originally the word 'camp' might be used to mean 'effeminate' (e.g. a pink computer used by a male police officer would have been thought 'camp' at one time) but is now often applied to anything which is deliberately out-of-place or 'self-consciously artificial'. Wikipedia says Bette Midler often portrays 'camp' characters, for example. Given my age (over 30- and the rest!), I was using 'camp' in its now rather outdated meaning.
Hope that clears that up. Perhaps I should keep my puns to myself in future. ;D

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Great reviews and pictures, Gaston.  The camping set is interesting and has quite a few neat accessories.  This is hard to resist but I am trying to restrain myself from buying anything new.   :(  Aside from the woman with matching pumps and panties, the salon holds little interest and that is a good thing for my wallet!   :lol:

I finally got some time to show you my last purchases: the cargo plane and the mamuth tent set.
And I found some funny way to do it  ;D






























 :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
You can google this but just in case, Loco Mia was a spanish pop group in the late 80's, very famous at least in Latin America, they wore weird barroco style clothes, pointy shoes and danced with fans  8}

And this are from last week (the plane is still out of order so they came walking)  ;D
The western new duo pack, the clowns Special plus and some other series 6 mystery figures.
