my Englishman wearing a sun hat

[WarriorOfToys]

I can spare some earrings too, Pgal. I have some pirate klickies I bought for their white torso and never use the earrings. Sorry if this is a little off-topic.
Cheng is right, BTW, until now there aren't any new torso (like speedo dad) with tanned skin. Too bad!
Oh! And Pgal, I need 300 not 200. I was refering to the Battle of the Thermopyles, were 300 Spartans blocked the way of Xerces' army...and all died there!
Best,
Arnaud

Well, 300 Spartans and 1000 other Greek soldiers.
And that was only on the last day after the other 7000 Greeks left.
Still, a very heroic end.

cheng: .....Have you had any experience cutting off the tab on the back of the soccer shorts and using the legs that move independently for anything? It would be great to have legs that could move in different directions. And they would look awfully cute on Speedo Dad mowing the yard or something in his sun hat of course! Pgal

hey Pgal...thats a good idea!!
and yes I have...I have cut the tab off...they stand gingerly without the green bases(I have some but not too happy to use them) maybe his wobbly legs is the sun's fault again
...and a speedo dad mowing the lawn with his shorts and socks will look great! (what am I saying?? hey...I must be losing my grip on war stuff thanks to you gals )

We'll have you making custom princesses with flower hats before we're done.

cheng,
Great! So HOW did you cut the tab off the soccer players' shorts? Did it look okay or like they were totally unstable? (Hubby would love some hints before he totally mutilates my two soccer guys.)

If someone wants to make realistic looking films of moving Klickies, the legs have to move independently. And it would look a heckuva lot better if they could do that even when still.

Can't wait to see your Speedo Dad mowing the yard in socks and shoes!!! Have you got a PM lawnmower?
Cheers, Pgal

will show you a pic later....cut the tab off very very close to and almost shaving his shorts...it doesnt make his balance any worse, will still stand but might not in those earthquake-prone surroundings you live next to 

with (Hurricane) Irene in town, maybe I can get one cheap from USDS (if they are allowed to return to work today), otherwise I'll have to borrow a pair of firemen shears from Playmofire!
...btw Pgal, I think you know that very few people in malaysia mow their own lawns....blame it on the weather or the cheap imported labour

bb and cheng....and that ain't all we'll have cheng making! Pgal

For me it's guinea pigs .

Luciano,
I would not let the guinea pig collection out of hat (don't mention them) to anyone who does not already know you well. They might seriously question why any sane grown man would have such a collection! In the US, 8-10 year old girls and only one 30 year old woman I know have guinea pigs for pets. Your secret is safe here, Pgal
