Yes,I will trim the extra white belt pieces sticking out...for now, it serves as a loose end of a 'judoka's belt

cheng: Love the variety of the Asian faces!!!

Now if we just had a few more Asian face and clothing options, especially for females, we could make a huge Asian crowd.
 
And guys could model a scene with the Terra Cotta soldiers, etc., as each is supposed to be different from the others. We spent a lot of time looking at the ones you can visit in Xi'an, and it is amazing how they tried to change each guy. The body parts piles were interesting because you could see how they attached different parts to make each soldier vary a bit.

Very nice work, Pgal :wave:

glad you appreciate them too, Pgal, there is a slightly new chinese face in Fi?ures 2 next year but I'm not in favour of Fu-man-chu moustage because they are not common except for making more kublai khans  :lol:....and those terracotta artisans were already playing with their terra cotta dummies while we have just started talking about maybe customising 'lifesized' klickies klickies  ;D

Cheng: Too bad there are no female Klickie Asian heads....getting very tired of using the generic one from the Asian family set. Girls lack personality without any additional facial features like the non-Asian ladies are getting these days.

And you are correct about the mustaches limiting the use of the male heads...they do get old if one is trying to build normal looking modern Asian men.

An assortment of Geisha women would be great with several different outfits, etc. Ditto for Indian Indian ladies. And we could certainly use more modern women of color...all colors.

I guess that this is the season to wish for something, isn't it? Pgal :wave:

I'm still full of patience, Pgal  :P
maybe after the olympics, we'll see more Asians? ;D
I'm at least glad that they didnt start a yellow(like the jaundiced Fi?ures witch) skin tone for Asians :lol: otherwise i'll have a tough time replacing all my Asian's hands

Awesome custom, Cheng! I love that last shot of the entire army together!
