| | Why isn't
Listed as "Ahsoka's Clone Trooper" as it is on the LEGO box art? I thought
this was the typical standard (unless something has changed). It doesn't
appear people are having a problem finding it to buy, but I know if I was the
one searching for it I would start with the search word "Ahsoka". I had never
heard of the 332nd company until just now.

When I was much younger there was a Captain Marvel cartoon, one of the characters
was Captain Marvel Jr., who derived his powers from Captain Marvel and would
say "Captain Marvel" to transform instead of saying "Shazam". So he couldn't
even say his own superhero name unless he wanted to become the hero.

"The name “Captain Marvel” is unique among comic book superheroes in that it
has been shared by nine different characters spread across three publishers."

In Marvel comics:
Mar-Vell
Monica Rambeau
Genis-Vell
Phyla-Vell

No Marvel (now Disney) owns the copyright for Captain Marvel.
Maybe you could call him "The superhero formally known as Captain Marvel."

When typing German, if umlaut letters are not available, it is usual to replace
them with the underlying vowel followed by an ⟨e⟩. So, for example, "Schröder"
becomes "Schroeder"

Yes, that would linguistically correct, but the issue is that people need to
be able to find items in the catalog. If they know it is officially called Özil
they are far more likely to search for Ozil instead of Oezil.
Niek.

And for that reason, we did the following:
It ain't pretty, but it works.

Maybe I just got the wrong catmin when I asked for the DFB names to be added.
As I mentioned here: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1136187
The one that is really annoying when searching is André Schürrle.
He has both first and second names unsearchable if you cannot type diacritics.
At least for Ozil, you can use Mesut.
And for some reason, it was allowed here:
but not here:
As for Oezil vs Ozil, if you read most UK tabloids it will be Ozil. Broadsheets
will have the umluat.
|
The Ö in Özil is not a German Ö. It's a Turkish Ö. I do not know whether
the description Oe is identical there.
It is also called umlaut and not umluat.

And here I thought it was only US papers that did that:
“English is a straightforward, frank, honest, open-hearted, no-nonsense language,
which has little truck with such devilish devious devices as accents; indeed
U.S. editors and printers are often thrown into a dither when a foreign word
insinuates itself into the language. However there is one word on which Americans
seem to have closed ranks, printing it confidently, courageously, and almost
invariably complete with accent—the cheese presented to us as Münster.
Unfortunately, Munster doesn't take an accent.”
— Waverley Root, The International Herald Tribune, Tuesday May 18th, 1982, p.8

Here's an interesting discussion, especially point 11 (Heavy Metal Umlauts)
https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/58936/11-facts-yu-should-know-about-umlaut
|
I found this
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%96
and this
https://www.quora.com/Are-%C3%B6-and-%C3%BC-German-or-Turkish
Looks like turkey borrowed umlauts letters from Germany when they established
new alphabet during Atatürk reforms.

Maybe there was some stock of theme loose left after this keychain production
and they were never glued and used for this keychain
Here is similar situation and the same era, troso from 2002. This castle one
is from 2003
looks like it can be also loose but originaly is from this keychain
coincidence? the same era, both from keychains, both can be obtain loose.
and another ones
from 2001
from 2004
looks like torsos from keychains from 2001-2004 were able to be obtained separetly
some way.

that only appeared in two sets from the same year. I think the tan render for
61236 is wrong and that is why someone went and created the 61236a catalog entry.
The catalog entries for 61236 and 61236a need to be merged.
