The only thing I don't quite like in these castles -- by seeing them -- is that there's no actual house in each of them, but a "scenary roof", that represents an indoor room, but, in fact, is open :hmm:

It's funcional for playing (and even story-telling), but it brings no great possibilities for wonderful miniature castle building ... Customizers might miss houses. (I'm not a customizer myself, but I miss steck in the playmobil world :-\ ...)

They look good, though.

And the klickys are awesome! :)

Gah - I saw the detailed pictures on Klickywelt and realised they've used the belt + annoying-swordholder-bit-that-falls-off on many of the klickies! Nevermind us collectors - I wonder how many clumsy kids lose such bits during playtime, never to find them again. Apart from the fact that they look really really ugly. Why couldnt they give them the old-style 'Masai' belt, at least, which is also found in many old medieval sets?

And they're already complaining about quality issues  >:D >:D >:D >:D >:D

I hope it's not like the Romans all over again: half of my romans have an annoying stoop ... while the other half can't keep a helmet on: it falls off all the time.

I have about 500 roman klickies and i have see this problem probably in 2 or 3 klickies all together. I have also bought adidtional roman helmets and i didnt have any problem ...

The last 'stoopy' klicky i bought was the pirate special (the one with the tattered flag). The stoop was so bad and I got so annoyed that I just superglues his bum in a straight position  >:D ;D

My latest one would be the priest from the dragonland (purple evil priest) and the african guy in mask from DS. It is getting more and more common too. Not just stoop, as I have pointed out earlier.....the eyes of the kids are also defective all the time. I am talking about 8 in 10 I have got. Somehow I am giving up ranting on their quality issues, till you raise it up here :love:

The way things are going, I'd rather spend my money on the old stuff for sale on ebay, rather than on this newer pap.
