Reinventing retired parts
« on: September 25, 2011, 04:55:20 »
Dont know if this should fall in DS forum or brainstorming forum. I guess the latter would be fine.......

They should redesign this piece, allowing klickies to hold birds even when they are hands down.

You mean when their arms are down by their sides?  But you don't hold have a bird on your wrist in that position - the wrist is always horizontal.  In real life the arm is bent at the elbow of course, but you can't do that with PM.

yes...hands down as in putting both arms down...not that "hands down" :-[

I understand your point, it is very hard to recreate that using playmobil. One of my klicky just get too tired holding his parrot and the joint goes loose....I will feed him some anti-aging pills :love:

But the parts I named above, which is used by hunters, would be very welcomed by the playmofriend community :love:

I think they should design a part that allows a bird to perch on the shoulder.

 :yup: ;D It's always driven me crazy that you can't put a parrot on a pirate's shoulder. If we're going to have stereotypical pirates with eyepatches and peg legs, they look incomplete without a parrot on the shoulder!

By the way, can you order the part for the parrots to sit on a captain's hat???

the one for shoulder definitely is a good idea!!!

I think that could work if they make a pirate with different legs and have a slightly modified strap for the pirate to wear to which the bird can be attached. That way the clickie isnt deformed just to have a pirate on his shoulder, and the strap could be removed. It should hold a sword for counterbalance though.

Speaking of the return of retired parts:

I'd love to see the classical knight sword making a return. The new ones have nice designs as well, but I really like the heavier design of these swords although they wouldnt fit on any belts. 

Aside from that I really like the old sheep and original monkeys. They look really funny.

Old sheep. Guess it would be harder....since the new specials plus will come with new sheeps. With two colour used.
