Does Anyone Read Chinese?
« on: January 21, 2024, 21:05:18 »
This is the back of the "50th Anniversary" Statue of Liberty figure. (The front is here: https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=15477.msg325192#msg325192 ) Can anyone translate? What sticks out to me is:

Wow. Thanks!  :wow:

Does this answer any questions about its origins, or just add to the mystery?

Why would it “add to the mystery” ?

It’s says right there in plain Chinese / mandarin “origin: Malta”
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Looks like a straight repackaging for the Chinese market, presumably illicit. They got a shipment of loose figures from Malta and boxed them up for sale.

That is not possible if Jim is right and Lady Liberty has a regular head. Then it can only be a new product, as such head didn’t yet exist (in the public eye).

I live in China and so I have this figure - but what do you mean by a regular head? It is a Fi?gure, you have to assemble it like all the others

Yes, I worked with it & it disassembled. It arrived already put together & I couldn't pull it apart at first.
