I don't like them kicking klickies. A klicky with movable legs is hardly a klicky.

Ah...Kvart...things have never been the same since Klickys got moveable wrists!  :-\

I have to agree with Kvart... especially what with those weird looking tabs sticking out their bottoms.  ??? socrates, what is that thing for, anyway?

The tabs are pushed to release the leg, and make it kick

It certainly does take away from the look of the klicky
hard to sit down in a chair with a big ol' tab sticking out of your back

Maybe it's just a back brace for klickies with back problems...a bit of disability awareness? :)

 :lol:
As playmo is going to renew the health topic, I am looking
forward in what other sets these figures will appear...
 ;)

@red: This tab is simply a part of the moving leg.
Did I mention that they have pretty much a clever design?
As always, Playmo designed the Figure very puristic.
There is no spring mechanism or something.
You can pull the leg back and it will stick in this position.
And then you have to push manually the lever to let the
player kick. Due to this, you have pretty much a good control
of the mechanism and you have to develope kind of a
technique to kick the ball as you want it to fly.

In Germany, there has been a very famous board game
(I think it still is?) that works pretty the same way:
Its called TippKick
This system is a little more sophisticated but they have a  professional
league as far as I know...

I think, this really will be some sets of from all the other PM
sets, but it was a lot of fun. And I really am looking forward
to have one of my own...
 :)

I always found the old street soccer set is one of the most
underestimated sets of all... :)
 :yup:

After looking at the TippKick link, I can see why you feel there are too few international players.

I noticed that the Tippkick line is all right footers, too.   :-X :(

Yeah, you are definitely right. We should send an email to playmobil.
But I am afraid, they will just have excuses like this typical: "It's soo
expensive to make a mould just for a left-footed player...  ...blahblah..."
-phrases...  ;)

Btw, customizer published in the german board a creation of his own:

He could have made a left-footed player...  :yup:

David, does your wife let you play with such things in the house???

When the DH was in his teens, he had one of those smaller rocket engines (from a kit) go off in the house.  :omg: :0
It made it into every room in their house. (It is just a one story building)  Luckily his parents werent home, and he could air out the house before they returned
