Your versions definitely show what can be done.

Most series offer a lot of potential.. if you have poptubs handy ;)

The print on the winter girl looks like pacman giving the finger.

Someone else said that  :P
(I still think the FINGER prize goes to the Dino Rise)

Yes, to all of that.

Some printed faces are nice. IMO. Some WOULD be nice, if they stopped printing them on the forehead.

Those prints on the forehead have to be as high as the prices and the person who printed them.

I agree the cars are primarily aimed at adults, but I think that is a bigger potential market (although that's just based on intuition). I also think there are probably children at the older end of the market who are interested in cars. I also imagine that adults who want WWE toys want them to represent the physicality of the wrestlers in a way that Playmobil can't.
The collectable cars are pretty accurate and fit in okay with 1/18 scale cars. The figures wont do this and the old WWF fans are not going to be lining up for playmobil style figures unless they happen to already be playmobil fans. It's a smaller potential market than the licenced vehicles and as you pointed out earlier, they'll be selling these at high prices at a time when people are watching their spending more.

Excellent review, tahra!

Thank you!

However, those mistakes aren't very good. :-\ I actually have a similarly mismoulded arm of the same style in gold instead of green.

Yeah, a mess this time. :(

The sorcerer you made looks great with that horned hat. That's an interesting use of a backwards belt too.

Begging for it :)  (I've used backward belts many times, when needing a simple peg)

The custom warrior with the brown skirt is really nice too!

Browns = :love:

Yes, the misprinted ones are always the worst. :(

I agree that there have been some good ones though. Several of the ones with the new eyes are nice.

Excellent review, tahra!

Once again, you got some really nice extras! Those gold dragon knight arm armour pieces are not very common (though you don't seem to like them). ;)

I expect high prices, printed faces, and several modern items. Maybe there would be some useful parts though.

Really?! :o

Just those in the pic are GREAT!! As long as now silly almost useless bodies, they will be amazing for parts....

I was personally never into WWF (my brother loved it) even though Hulk, Andre and friends went to a friends ranch to wrestle the bulls (male cows) . His father was a wrestling promoter. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Time_Wrestling_(San_Francisco)

Even though I didnt watch it, I  still want them all and will probably get some for my brothers well .

I think Playmobil making re-issued sets and these adult collector sets is great, I just would hate to see them use the excuse (low sales) as justification for ending it when the choices have a lot to do with its market reception/debut

Also it’s hard to support these ideas if they never even get full distribution. The US never got Heidi, Azterix, all the new western, Victorian was cut short, will we get Monster High.
