I'd love to see a scottish special in a kilt, with bagpipes.

Or how about a native america woman? or child? We haven't had any of those in a while.

Or an australian aboriginee with a didgeridoo



Along these lines.....how about an "around the world" theme. They could do a national figure for tons of countries.
The bagpiper for Scotland
Beefeater for England
Maybe a leprechaun for Ireland????
I can picture an awesome French guy with a striped shirt and some onions or garlic, and a little beret!!!
We already have Uncle Sam
How about a flamenco dancer for Spain
New series 2 fi?ure is a geisha
The aborigine is great....or a Crocodile Dundee type guy!!
Being so new here I am not as familiar with what has been available in the past so some of these may have been done. Also I know that they are kinda stereotypical and could maybe offend some??

I don't think it would be offensive to do these. It's just depicting the traditional dress of different cultures. There has been a series of collector Barbies like this, and also Madame Alexanders. I think it would be really cool!

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

I'd love to see a female clicky in traditional dutch dress with cheese and tullips actually. I think it would look really adorable on a clicky.

So I really don't think it would be offensive to anyone, unless they would do inappropriate stuff like a german nazi soldier, a Dutch slave trader with slave, an Arabian suicide commando, an American Klu-Klux Klan member, English soccer hooligan, etc.

Please excuse me if any have been suggested already:

- Court room judge (with the curly wig)

- Lady chef (for the restaurant)

- Updated traffic warden

- Modern army soldier (just one incy wincy soldier :prays: :uhoh:)

- UN soldier

I'd better stop there I think :-[

actually, a special plus might be just the right place for the Nuremburg guard to make a comeback... any complaint about the additional cost of shiny armor could be countered with fewer accessories... OR each one could come with the classic cannon

I would prefer sticker myself though... my brother and I initially each used these as our troops... he used the yellow lion with the blue and white stripes... and I used the Nuremburg symbol. It allowed for 2 separate armies to be created and fight each other without getting confused... or course... they could release them in different colors with different symbols as well.... Red with the Nuremburg... Blue with the classic alternate symbol... and Yellow with ... the old unicorn symbol.. then we could build 3 armies..  :love:
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

Any specials that can be used for army building are always welcome, I think each batch should always have at least one of those.

When it comes to medieval heralrdy, they somehow insist on always adding more kinds. While the creativity is to be admired, I doubt many would mind old heralrdry being recycled, most would welcome it. Heralrdry is only one part of the character after all, they can do new things with the clothes, hair, weapons, etc.
