Thanks for the info Maureen and Dyar.
I can't say that I have fallen in love with them instantly but I certainly can't say I dislike them.
I first saw this post this morning so have spent a bit of time trying to figure out the way Schleich is going with these. Certainly these new Indians and last years Halloween set surely must be geared towards the USA market and I am wondering if this has anything to do with the future movie(s) and the market they are going to try and build up over the next few years. My guess is that the European market is fairly well established in terms of retail outlets but will we see Schleich and IMPS pushing more retail outlets in America, as the potential sales if the movie makes it big have to be huge.
I agree, it would be lovely to see some new playsets to accompany the Indians, especially with the Western Set discontinued a couple of years back. I am also wondering if the fire in the picture will be available or if this was just used purely for display purposes.
