Open Letter to Geobra "you can make us a samurai better than this"

[cheng]

hope 'Quoting' myself doesnt make me an egoist 

Liebe Geobra B.,  we know you can make us a better samurai than this. Need only 1 new mould, + floral designs on his clothes...

I was wrong, Geobra already has a printed such 'samurai skirt'

¿How you gonna raise the arms if the armor stops it?

My knights with arm armour cannot raise their arms all the way either, nor can my napoleonic officers who have shoulder regalia.  So it wouldn't be unlike Playmobil for it to have that limitation.  Or, perhaps the shoulder parts can be made of a rubbery material that allows for flexing?  I may be mistaken, as I cannot recall specifically right now off hand, but I swear there are already klickies using such materials on accesories.....

agreed BPearl! like those 'fur' covers on our PM vikings, but they are not good for printing on..i hope PM will print some nice japanese motifs 

Bonniebeth & WOT,
i was going to put a trivial-pursuit question on this skirt but thought it would have been too easy, the photo was recently taken by one of our dear friends here. if nobody else can figure this out, I'll happily reveal it....here's another big clue:

I love PlaymoDB.

Found her.

WOW! That is an amazing discovery...
Thanks Cheng.

[bonniebeth]

Wow! How did I never notice her skirt before? I could use that skirt for a modern klicky, really.

very cool custom cheg

i'm hoping that the recent asian figures (the cosack warrior, the samurai and the figure in the easter egg) are part of a sneak peek for an up coming ancient asian theme - maybe 2012?

BINGO WOT! 
yes, Heather's PlaymoDb is the best reference site for us collectors! thanks always, Heather! 

I must thank Wesley Myers for his 4251 Magic Castle Kitchen Review, his close-up photo of his Kitchen Maid will catapult her status from maid to samurai (not easy even for a seasoned foot-soldier to reach samurai status) 

@Bonniebeth: modern klicky? has our girls' fashion gone a full cycle ? I thought they have yet to pass another bell-bottoms phase  do show!

thanks Luis...many of us are hoping so too but by 2012, I'll have too many Asian customs to correct, come 2012

  I was thinking it could be a skirt for an old lady, or a really nerdy girl or something.
