Armor Shop Remake (6041-1)

[Follows Closely]

This lady has been running the Armor Shop since 1986. As you can see this figs has been well played with - as it was one of the only female figs I owned as a child. She came in 6041, and I have fond memories of this set.

But as it is now 2024, it is time for an upgrade.

 

The new and old side by side.

I like that roof pattern.

Me too, the roof looks nice. But... why so many guards for a single shop?

It looks like arms and armour were good things to invest in, seeing as they can now afford a much bigger store with loads more stock!

Lovely little build.

Haven't you seen the scoundrels in the shop??!

Lady? I've never thought of this figure as a female, but as a guy with shoulder-length hair that was pretty common among men in the Middle Ages. An unambiguously male figure with this kind of hairstyle is featured in 10193 Medieval Market Village, for example.

Nice remake, though a bit too crowded for my taste.

 Neither have the guards.

Absolutely loving the massive collection of shields on the sides.

I stole it from Cafe Corner (10182).

Because I never had enough as a kid and I am overcompensating.

I guess I made the assumption on the hair alone. Bricklink agrees: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemInv.asp?S=6041-1&viewItemType=M

Thanks. If you know me, you know I love shields.
