SWEETNESS! (Even though they straight up ripped off our Hadoque: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=13266.0)

Is there a shop link yet?

This is a cool trend that I hope will continue. Almost makes up for Asian Dragon World.

Is that pole with the ball on top new? It would work great for a Roman optio.

Erwin surely used a much better hat style for both the figures....

But the new printing was nicely done by Geobra!

So I guess the silly cowboy hat IS accurate! And the sash midway in the chest.. A shame they didn't use an old farm hat (in the proper color) for the pale yellow guy..

Lovely colors :love:

The pale one especially.. the arms... the NECKPIECE! We are both in love with that neckpiece! :love:

I thought the same as soon as I saw it!

Finally they are starting to release nice Dutch sets! Used to be only sinterklaas sets made for us in the past. Here's hoping they will make many more sets based on paintings!

Hadoque's version was awesome. I'm really excited about these! I hope they do more of this type of stuff. And Gaston, that video was amazing!

They are great looking figures. The museum is easy to order from internationally too so that's a major plus.

I am so shocked and thrilled... what a surprise. For a short while I'm reduced to nothing but thankfulness. I was going to see the exhibition anyway, but ha, this gives it another dimension.

Did your milk lady get to you really fast also?

As far as the confidential rule? To me it's still black and white. No is no and yes is yes. No gray, irigardless of what happens in the virtual world. It's a silly rule and seems counter productive, as though geobra wants us to break the rule so they can pull the "I told you so" card later, when it suits them of course.

Please stay on topic, i.e. discussing the figure and not PCC rules.
I had a difficult time splitting the topic and don't want to have to do it again. ;)

Also, if anyone sees something posted that they believe is confidential, it is far more productive and sensible to report the post immediately rather than make off-topic posts or throw insults about at people.

Yes Ras, the milkmaids came rather quickly and I expect these will also. The exchange rate is also really good which is a big plus. I hope they keep doing these, the art sets are by far my favorite "line" they are doing right now.

The new Rembrandt klickies arrive at Amsterdam and are welcomed by an enthusiastic crowd.

"The Nightstrike"
a somewhat less famous painting (1643), by Hemdinbrandt (Rembrandt´s unknown cousin)...  ;D

Nice pictures, nice to see all clickies arriving safely.

Now I am curious how that strike will be resolved though.  :)

Mine arrived today.

Haven't even opened the box yet.

The more I think about it, this could be a real opportunity for PM. Nobody else is doing art and historical figures like this. L*go couldn't even compete, as their figs are too tiny to do properly detailed versions.

Let's hope the Gnomes of Zirndorf take the hint from the Luther success and really go big on this.

There's a funny little text on the side of the Rembrand box:

"Look how busy it is in the Night Watch! The civic guards in Rembrandt's famous painting are off to patrol the city. Leading the way is the captain, dressed in black and brandishing a walking stick. While the lieutenant dressed in white is holding a huge spear known as a partisan. And what is that young girl doing there?"

1. The lieutenant is clearly in pale yellow, not white.

2. What IS that young girl doing there?

Hi everyone!  I've done a bit of research in regards with the girl.....

Here's what I found.....

"The girl to the left of and behind Banning Cocq acts as a sort of pictorial mascot. She carries the guild's costly drinking horn and, at her girdle, a dead fowl, the prominent claw of which is an emblem of the Musketeers. This bird may also be intended as a pun on the Captain's name."

Post by: Macruran on March 22, 2015, 00:31:50
I feel there's got to be more to her, but also that we'll never know. The thing is, she's more brightly lit than almost anyone else in the picture, and oddly so because she's in the second or third rank, whereas the light is falling naturally on the first rank. So she's been specially picked out.

I'd guess she's someone's daughter, someone who probably did a great kindness to Rembrandt's bank account. 

The real question though is: When is Zirndorf coming out with a figure of her???

Thought you'd like to see this version of Nightwatch. Not a patch on Hadoque's but pretty amusing: http://www.mobypicture.com/user/fackeldeyfinds/view/16391059
