It seems that TLG would be heading more towards the 14th/15th/16th
centuries, and strongly into modern-day France and Italy, if they pursued a
hat and armour configuration like that (or, in the case of the neo-Wench,
the hair, eyes, and dress style). I wonder when a militant theme becomes
too modern for the no-war-toys policy (c.400 years in either direction from
the present)?
The snow hood, btw, looks like it's on the "Ariel" head from eXtreme-Team.
Is this a new iteration of that theme? Maybe we'll finally get some usable
sets with decent tank-treads again...I can only hope. But the sheer on all
the figures hints that they're pre-production models--they seem too
"sculpted" to be mass-molded.
LFB.
