Ethnic balance among klickies.

[Ismene]

I'm not generalizing. I'm saying there ought to be a good ethnic diversity, so kids have both klickies that look like them and klickies that do not.

This whole discussion just shows why interchangeable accessories are better than pre-determined and overly printed figures. We wouldn't have this problem if you could take any figure and use them in any other theme.

if anything, it shows that pm is following the spirit of the times, where people demand more and more specific and particular themes and klickies.

The first thing my daughter did when she got the 911 Porsche was to replace the male driver with a female one. And then she put a lot of children in the car and declared it to be the "kindergarten bus". 

I love this

The real problem is that there's no ethnic diversity in the Asian Dragon theme.

[Rhalius]

It's fitting there that they are all asian. Just like its fitting for a western european medieval style to have white clickies. Though they could go with a faction that has slightly tanned clickies, with their style representing Spain or Italy.

Hey ... are you saying all asians look the same? cause if you are, im sure there are asians who would object to such a statement (im not even joking on this one!). Im sure for example there are Japanese people who would object to being lumped together with sun-tanned, dark-skinned (or whatever) Chinese.

Goes on to show what a minefield this sort of thing is once you start thinking along these lines.

And exactly why would there need to be diversity in historical Asia?

For some people, but not all

Having ethnic diversity is not that hard, what seems to be hard is showing respect for diffrences

It starts early, white = good.....dark =bad , this seems to be reinforced in playmobil quite often.

   - This was the best thing I've seen all day. Can everyone please leave the very accurate and historical magic Asian fantasy ninja dragon theme alone... it's PERFECT 

[cachalote]

you carry the guilt of your grandfathers baron, famous dragon slayers

actually - grandmothers, for i am speaking of bad people.

to ask for no diversity in asian dragons' colors is absurd.
the problem here is patterns - everybody knows asian dragons had a multitude of them: stripes, dots, etc.
to portray only "plain" dragons is an enormous error playmobil should avoid.

and please, do not correct me anyone - i have a blond noble savage as a kid - making me an expert in this field.
i had to have one to when i knew the germans (who are all blond and noble, as we know) were not doing their part in filling our world with the right colored children - http://www.nytimes.com/2006/02/23/business/worldbusiness/23toy.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0

and rasputin (if i remember well some pictures of his sons he posted) also went this way.
ahead of his time, a visionary.

ae least, for the time being, we have playmobil covering our backs - launching 2.7 light pink klickies every second (85% of 3.2).
