I wonder how long the historical themes are going to be heavily influenced by this comic book weirdness.
Lego has been doing this nonsense for a few years, which is why I turned to Playmobil. I'm trying to buy up all of the good Playmobil sets now while they're still available because I'm afraid this weird phase is going to last a long time.
These days, nothing sells unless it's related to comic books or some well known 1980s franchise like Star Wars or Ghostbusters. I love original, realistic, historic stuff.
I was just looking over all the new stuff coming out soon, and the only thing that I find appealing is the Indian chief with the peace pipe. The new pirates aren't as bad as the knights sets, but they're pretty goofy looking with strange colors (a brown table, but with a green bench?)
