Pinky-purple . . . IT'S NOT FOR BOYS! It screams in an age where you're not supposed
to say stuff like that, but who are they kidding! Figures clearly shown on the
front it was a shoe-in, but had it had all artwork (and some games do) I
probably would have left it!
Babe from the waist up, otherwise she's a
bit fishy! But with the belt/collar she's also looking like one of these people
who go swimming with zip-up 'sleeping-bag' mertails! You can pay, you know; you
can pay to learn how to swim like a mermaid, the world's going mad!
I quite like these and we will return to
them, as there are a few kicking around, Accoutrements/Archie
McFee, eraser or two, the odd LRG, a couple of other fantasy ones somewhere
and a couple in storage along with the old transparent styrene cocktail-glass
one, there is a decent comparison post in there somewhere!
Speaking of Accoutrements/Archie Mcfee and cocktail glasses reminds me - we
will be returning to both soon here at Small Scale World, courtesy of Terranova.
K&M / Wild Republic
(depending on your territory) made this and I almost regret buying it, but one
should never have regrets, they eat away at you! K&M are more commonly importers/commissioners of toy animals in
the sub-Schleich/Papo mould, so
shaking the box and hearing what sounded like a bunch of animals I handed over
my quid; despite the artwork!
The artwork was accurate! No matter I have
a soft-spot for card and paper flats, even silly modern ones with crappy
plastic stands! At a quid; it's a box ticker, it helps make the post and . . .
how the hell are you supposed to follow your pieces when they are only a
slightly different blue-boarder from the 'enemy'!
The otter looks more like a beaver which is
an inland/fresh-water animal! And why is the queen (hardest biatch on the
board) a dolphin, while the plodding, one-square-at-a-time, vulnerable King
depicted as a shark? They should have been the other way round!
Pawns! All those penguins are only going to
confuse in the middle of the board, but it's a good way of teaching chess to
very young peeps I suppose. Box ticked!
