(part 1/3)

1. Chimney Cleaner

A very original klicky for the girls...

For me, it's a shame her torso doesn't match the men's - I mean to make a mixed troop - Nothing wrong with the klicky all by herself!

The neckpiece in black is beautiful, and the hat is new, afaik - the print, I mean (a bit odd that there seems to be a bit missing)

Note that whoever was responsible for the photos had no idea how to assemble the... thing. I admit I know nothing of the subject, but Click - yes, one of Boomer Click's namesakes! - the individual chimney sweeper (3316 - playmoDB link) was one of the first klickys here, in 1984. So, I was sure of at least PART of the assembly. And it's not hard to look it up.

The rope came with a bit of tape, as is usual in sets too.

2. Violinist

A pretty klicky.

She looks a bit fancy, with that vest - not sure what she is meant to represent.

Also not sure about those baggy sleeves (AWESOME = ) - but.. would they not get in the way when playing?

3. Steampunk Woman

A rehash of the previous figure in Series 16.

Not that she is bad, but it's really lame that it's the same torso - I mean she is SO specific... It's a bit strange, imo, to have 2 ladies with that same torso in such a small group.

The hat in bronze is nice (no, we will not think about it in practical terms! ) and so is the skirt (same!). No idea why, but bronze and that gear design equals "steampunk".

I was very afraid the nice bronze bracers would not resist being put on and off a couple of times, but so far so good. I will try not to push my luck with those.

I love the rifle (no idea why). I thought it was the same as before, but it actually has a different color (obvious in the plastic).

4. Geisha

She's gorgeous, and original. The klicky is beautiful in pale green with the flowery print and the baggy sleeves.

I believe that is a new head - variety is always good.

Though it is not a favorite sculpt, I love the hair in black. It's perfect for her, and much more interesting than the previous white or silver versions, I think.

One had a strange bit of flesh - not sure what that was supposed to be (this is not the first time it happens - the Valkyrie from Series 25 had a similiar extra).

Unfortunately one had a mismolded arm - very serious, with a unique right arm
