This is what a non-dragon-related Asian theme could look like. It's AWESOME.
Someone needs to hire you over there.

thanks Playmofriends!

I did say on this forum that I'll be very happy to help Geobra to make Asians for free but when their "Asians" finally came out, I realised they dont think my accurate Asians will appeal to kids who are used to those online fantasy Asians, so I'm happily going my own way, alone.
but I'm glad you all can appreciate my more down-to-earth type of Asians....a least I dont have to keep buying because there's no end to fantasy figures. ;)

Preach it, sister!

Cheng do I spy monks among the warriors? Could we get some closeups of them?

I gues that with playmobil a middle ground between accuracy and fantasy may be best. It could be something in between what they do know and your great work.
Like having maybe just one dragon and a castle, but also common soldiers and not just samurai and certainly no flying ninja's. And some nice monks, civilians and such too.

oops....I got confused myself thinking my Chinese theme photos were in this thread.
the other travelling monk in brown is just from a standard brown skirt...not much customising done from the original kliky...historical kliky probably from a barn set.

Yeah I meant the brown guy with the beads...pretty sure the torso is from a nativity set. Very cool!

Nice it's certainly good to see someone with your talent giving an accurate interpretation of the Aisian theme and it's very interesting to see how your customs start off and the parts used. I love the Monks and Pirest the hats are great and I love the guy with the slitted eyes  :)
