I've been away from my bricks for a few months, and there will be a few months more before we're reunited.

So what can a girl do when she can't build? 
Minifigs of course!


Paradisa was my favourite theme as a kid, and I had quite a lot of fun trying to recreate some minifigs from this theme with modern parts.
Can you recognise them?

I'm an early 2000s kid, and quite honestly didn't know this theme ever existed.  However, looking at the pics of old vs new, I'm very impressed,  and can agree with @Robert8 - you've nailed them!  The waiter and the rider are probably my favourites.

Out of interest, when updating figures like this, is removal and swapping of arms allowed?

@Robert8 Thank you very much! It's the pink torso from the HP sets that gave me the idea : there was a feeling of déjà vu when it was revealed...

@Vilhelm22 Thank you so much! Concerning the swapping of arms (and legs), I personnaly consider it fair play. The rider here is the only one with the arms that officially come with her torso (and also the only adult with the legs that officially come with her hips) :blush:
