70638 + 70639 Figures 23

[StJohn]

You made me go out and get a chimney sweep. Nice figure, but I am flabbergasted. As you say: "The cleaning tool was looped in the neckpiece" – the same in my bag:



So, somebody took the effort to feed the rope through the neck piece, and next tied the rope together with a bit of adhesive tape? There is no other explanation. It is utterly insane. Is there any reason for this?

PS: you didn't show the cuffs.

Excellent review, as always, tahra!

That was lucky to get an extra white chainmail coif!

The one Egyptian figure that I opened had the same incorrect arm.

Thank you

I am sure I saw that on .. KW? Or THAT site.. The lack of care these days is a pain   Especially if you don't have a poptub to go to...

I need to correct myself: you did show the cuffs (my eye was focussed on the right-hand, frontal image). Sorry.

Please allow me a bit more ranting about the Warrior. For me no "highlight", as you have it, because as a warrior/knight it simply doesn't click (no weapons to speak of, no shield ), and the best part is incomplete (white chainmail "hair" without matching chainmail collar ). Still, some parts are great – torso, helmet, white litham (straight into my arabs tub!). Your review made me pick up a second bag

You've just taught me a new word!

Mind boggles.

Well, I look at the figures not necessarily in their original state. I still think he's a hihlight - but NEVER EVER NEVER original.

You've just taught me a new word! 

Ditto. That's a bandit neckerchief for me (assuming that's what you mean )

Thanks for the thorough review & great photos Tahra!

I'm going to disagree on the bunny lady though, considering there's been 4 unique male bunny adults already & only 2 unique female adults, I'm glad there's another female in the mix.

She's the only one from this series I've been tempted by & bought, & I'm happy with her, but would have preferred an outfit with a very different colour from the other women (both red sleeves & torso) & identically dressed male though to give more variety for custom bunny people.  Something in yellow, white or green would have been in keeping with the other (child & adult) bunny people.
