The pirate looks very good and the redcoat looks great! Both seem to have new hat and torso printing and I haven't seen the redcoat's legs before. I will definitely be buying a lot of these to make a proper redcoat army.

AGREE!!!!!!!!!
They are not like something made with leftover in the spare parts department. I just cant wait to have them. :love: :love: :love:
But the new prince and princess fairies are kinda boring, and the decor is a little bit too much
-
I would say they show the most optimal of balancing new idea and the traditional playmobil. Very leat, colourful yet realistic!!!!!
-
I completely agree with both of your above posts, Heronimus. The new Egyptian sleeves in yellow really make the pirate's shirt look great. Some designer(s) did a great job on these two!
-
Why is it the best blister ever produced? Sorry, but I fail to get it - why do I have to spend 3.50 euro (and more) a throw, in order to build a red coat army: apart from being quite expensive compared to the price of a special, I will also end up with a large number of pirate klickies I do not want (and it's not as if the pirate looks useful for customising).
I would understand all the excitement, had the redcoat been a special, but as it is, this must surely be one of the most frustrating blister packs ever. Gah.

Since I and probably many members on PF, as well as the kids, would only get one to two of this. :P

yes, a little change makes great improvement~~!!
I am quite frustrated looking at the new knights, and the upcoming special in 1H2011, they are getting too many details. The arm and leg. :-\

I understand your frustration and I too will have a bunch of unused green pirates, but in the US these blister packs are actually $1 cheaper than a Special!

but on ebay they are not 8}
-
Really? Why so ::)
Over here a Special is around 2 euro, while a blister is 3 50. So it's almost a 100% difference in price. I'm not one to build HUGE armies, but I would've liked enough of these redcoats to man a ship and some sort of fortification. But it's a waste of money as things stand. I'll probably buy one or two, and pass on.

...But it's a waste of money as things stand. I'll probably buy one or two, and pass on.
me too...much as I like these new Redcoats(every part of him is very useful), I'll probably buy a couple only
...you guys can throw the green pirates legs my way (altho I'll have to spray over the green to make more samurai armymen ;D

I voted.
It is the best 18th century redcoat that was ever produced. And I like the pirate (which is even not heavily severed). But it is not easy to understand why both have to be packed together. This is not even an advantage for the real target customers, because children too will not like having uniformed pirates even at a bargain.

uniformed pirates ?? :(o):

It is a great blister indeed and I'll buy several of them. But I personally prefer the 5799 (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5799) blister for being more useful for my pet subject of customizing.
and I haven't seen the redcoat's legs before.
To me the boots look exactly the same as that of several equestrian klickies like this one:

It's too bad that Playmobil decided to use the "raggedy" vest on the pirate (it could limit its use for customizing). Other than that one little complaint, I would tend to agree with you, Heronimus. Overall, this appears to be a really good blister for customizers! Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention.
-
I like the redcoat a lot!! But I am not too thriled with the pirate!
-
well heronimus,
:-[i had to vote yes.
;)... and yes this is the best pirate bliester ever produced by playmobil.
:-\... this doesn't mean that there aren't others in other families (i honestly don't know).
:)it has 2 totally new figures and it looks great.
:)need we ask for more from geobra?
-

As this kind of ragged vest is very widespread among latest releases, it's a good method to rasp and sand the vests edge even. A shorter vest implies the enormous advantage, that you can use vest and belt simultaneously upon the same klicky. Of course this is possible with normal unragged vests, too. But for some kinds of customizing a shorter vest even looks more fitting, e. g. a zouave soldier.

Thanks all for the replies.
@cachalote and other pilot members
Yes, please do ask Geobra for more of these, and it would be better if they could as well pair up two klickies that would both be needed in great amount. And maybe Geobra could truly listen to the collectors and reissue some older popular specials in the format of blister set. If they wanna make more money from us, they could also issue the older specials as "special specials", priced at 5-8 EURO or at some reasonable premium, to cover their cost of aging moulds. :love: :love:
-
I voted yes for this blister. But i have to say that i think it's a tie with the Crusader blister. As for the 5799 blister pointed out by Colonel Klicky, i myself haven't come across this set as of yet :(. If i did i would buy a bunch ;D.
-
It’s just another d*** pirate.
-
the best blister as far as im concerned was the crusaders one, even if they changed the helmet on the older figure. in theory the best BEST one is the ACW blister, but no one's ever seen that, unless they're called Robinho or something.
-
I think on balance that you can call this the best blister ever produced, but not everyone will agree with you, although blood won't be spilt as a result. :)
Edit: I've corrected my post to read "best" instead of "nest"!
-
I have to agree with Wolf Knight, Andy R and Bolingbroke. The redcoat is nice, though I already have several Redcoat officers so I wouldn't need many of this guy in his original role. I could customise him, but then by definition he hasn't been so useful in his original form.
The Pirate is nice enough, but as Pirates should be individual in their appearance, I can use maybe 3 of this figure by switching his parts around with other duplicate pirates.
For me a "best blister ever" would have to contain two figures I can use multiples of in their original format without modification, or with minimum modification (e.g. change of hair), which pretty much means they can form the basis of an army unit. The Romans 5827 blister, the Crusaders 5825 blister or pretty much any of the Knights theme blisters fit this profile. A nun/monk or monk/priest blister would score highly, but we're still waiting on that one. The 5799 ACW Blister would be great, but hasn't appeared in the US, maybe for reasons of historical sensitivity.
The Roman 5800 Blister is an example of a pack with one really useful figure (the legionary) and one we don't need in such quantity (the Centurion). Richard pointed out that is the blisters are priced at $3.29 or less you could buy the packs and throw away the Centurions and still get the legionaries cheaper than the are on Playmobil's website, but as nobody in the Continental United States has yet seen this blister in a shop, it's still a theoretical point.
Value for money depends on how much the blisters cost YOU the reader to obtain. The Blisters appear to have been designed primarily for the North American market, and when they reach Europe and other parts of the world they cost more. Even in the US and Canada the shelf prices can vary wildly between stores. Richard's assuming a shelf price of $3.29 or less, and that just isn't happening unless there's a sale on.
So sadly this blister, indeed any blister containing pirates or officers, can't be useful to me in large numbers, because my definition of a great blister is one I would want to buy in large numbers.

That's a good point, Martin. For me with my interests this one fits the bill and meets your criterion:
http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Show?pid=4914&cgid=Rettung
All I need to change is the yellow helmet for a white one and add a breathing apparatus set to have a two man BA team. Currently, the duo are only available in Germany but I have bought them on Amazon UK at £6.35 for the pair and free postage because of the size of my overall order. As I have spare helmets and BA gear there's no other cost for the customising and with the Special fireman at £2.50, the price for the duo isn't too bad.
-
A nun/priest blister isn't realistic though: I don't see much play value for the children in such a combination. I agree regarding most of the medieval blisters however, especially because they recycled older specials. The roman blister I passed on, though. I didn't like those two figures when they came out - the legionnaire with the green shield looks a bit bare with no neck accessory, and the beskirted officer looks a bit silly to be honest. Still, de gustibus non est disputandum.
If they're gonna recycle specials into blisters, my choice would go for the 4670 crusader and the recent arab warrior.
-

Just try it here (http://legomania.com.br/produtos_descricao.asp?lang=pt_BR&codigo_produto=709&nmprod=FAROESTE%20-%20BLISTER%20-%20CAUB%D3I%20E%20MOCINHO%20-%205799) for example, if you really desperately need them, Markus. (http://server3.webkicks.de/confedhome/replacer/zwinker.gif)

Only the scarf, torso, arms and legs of the Nordi! :hmm:
-
Thats a nice little set.
I have a few blisters in the Knight, Pirate and Roman themes I think they all contain figures that have already been used in larger sets. These 2 figures are new to me, basically a couple of Specials and good ones, I will have to add it to my wants list.
-
That redcoat is really great!
Thanks for showing us. ;D
-
I agree that the pirate is not useful in quantities (except to Cheng for its legs ;)), but he is a great klicky all by himself. I also agree with Martin that the redcoat would have been better with a musket, bayonet, and harness instead of his incorrect for the period sword and shoulder belt, but these are easily changed. He could be easily converted into a proper officer with a simple epaulette, cuff, hat, and sword change. I'm just glad to have two new excellent looking klickies.
Has anyone actually seen 5799 in the flesh? Even if it is real, Playmobil made a huge mistake by not using the Union Special. Those are REALLY useful while the one in this blister is only officer material and already available as an Add-On.
Colonel Klicky, thanks for pointing out where the redcoat's legs came from. I wasn't aware of that set.

Yeah, we all have different needs, so we name different sets our best~!! This is the beauty of a forum.
(http://img1.mlstatic.com/jm/img?s=MLB&f=128253784_8872.jpg&v=O)
This 5799 is good. Too bad it is not available, as I had some hard time trying to get the confederate soldier earlier. I finally got one by exchanging the confederate soldier with the union soldier special, again, with the help of other forum members :love:
-
@ Justindo You can get this from DS.....as playmodb got its part number and I am told each of the core figure cost around 2 EURO only. http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4628
Do you guys think there are other specials with part number that we can order from DS?

It is real. You can find it in the 3rd edition of the official Playmobil Collector (http://www.amazon.de/Playmobil-Collector-1974-Axel-Hennel/dp/3935976577/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283510195&sr=8-1) Guide and it is available yet in Brazil, e. g. here:

I totally agree with you. The combination of the 4622 and 4628 special would have made a much better blister than any other so far known ACW-set or add-on.
Especially the add-ons are not really useful or satisfying in matters of ACW-collectors/-customizers needs.
Just analyzing the 7046 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=7046) add-on:
- the bag contains two sergeants and only one private - the everlasting mistake of geobra (concerning all themes) of just producing too much chiefs for too less indians)
- slightly outside the acw timeframe the confederates where equiped with winchester-like looking repeating rifles
- all three seem to be be cavalry soldiers (wearing boots and/or yellow collars/cuffs/kepis)
- all three being equiped with colts and belts with holsters isn't also really fitting the historic realities
I really would prefer a set
- containing three privates
- equiped with historic fitting muzzle loaded rifled muskets and bayonet (like 4622/4628)
- wearing shoes
- wearing blue-coloured collars, cuffs (like 4622) and kepis with blue tops (identifying them as infantry soldiers)
- bringing canteens (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30%2008%203890) and blankets (http://www.playmodb.org/cgi-bin/textsearch.pl?sortby=partnum&page=1&text=sash\%2C+ties+over+shoulder&pics=on) with them
- Colonel Klicky
-
That "blanket" idea is really neat Colonial. :)
-
I find the 7046 add on strange too! Why do the sergeants have unbuttoned collars ??? ??? Souldn't it be the other way around? I've actually rub off those insignias to most of them and trying to get hold of saddles and grey blankets for their horses...
I like the changes that you propose Colonel!!

You know what the thing with PM is ... EVERY fan-made custom I see (including the ones I make and I'm hardly an expert) are almost always better than the stuff they come up with at Zirndorf. It's mighty annoying that the people who are paid good money do not deliver the goods, while we, the fans, keep drooling, fantasising and bitching about the endless possibilities we could come up with if only ...

However, the inventors might have come up with things like this but:
A. The Marketers shut them down
B. They are still in the process of being made
-
Well, when Zirndorf would produce a "perfect" set, we can use for ACW, wouldn't it be boring? Just open the box, stick together and ready. No customizing use anymore? :(
So we take a part of these box, another part of these box and so on. Till we have the soldier we like. Wouldn't you miss something? :lol:
-
Mmm. You have a point. But still, there is only so much money one can spend on PM, and I can't be buying 5 different klickies, taking the head from this one, the torso from the other one, etc, in order to have the perfect figure.

:no:
I wouldn't miss it at all, having several useless figures lying around.
I will try to sell them, but they might not even look good so they wont sell. :-\
I would rather have a perfect set and just look at my armies. Customizing I do because I must. ;)

I current build my ACW armies. And it needs so much time, to get all the parts together. :hissyfit: :hissyfit: :hissyfit:

You know, sometimes I dream about being a machine operator at the Playmobil factory: I'd just walk past a huge mound of coifs, or rifles, and I'd scoop a big handful and shove them down my pockets :-[ :-[ :-[
I'm a bit sad, that way.
It's a bit like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but with Playmo instead of the chocolate :-[ :-[ :-[

Imagine being one of the factory workers who hates his job!! Making the same little rifle again ad again every day!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: Althought I doubt there is one...
On the other hand, we feel great for having 20 to 30 pieces of something...how does a worker in there feels with a huge pile of these parts?
-
You know what I would LOVE to do...?
Package the parts.
Put all the little pieces together and form the soldier. :love:
But the Bayonet on the Rifle, put on the hat, the feather in the hat, the gun in the klicky's hand... ;D
I would line them up and send them off down the assembly line...
and cry when I see them go away. :'(
Then smile when the new one comes down the line for me to put together! ;D ;D ;D
That would be the greatest job in the world... :love:
Not only that, but I would get an employ's discount on Playmobil!!! :o ;D :o ;D :o ;D
-
I have a couple of friends who used to work/still work at PM - but since they're not fans, it doesn't mean that much to them. It's just a job. I once toyed with the idea of sending a CV, when I was 16 or so. But I never did.

But seriously - would it be really? For me, it WOULD have been the greatest job in the world ... had I been 7 years old. Thing with PM is this: now that I have enough money to buy as many PM as I want (within reason anyway), I can't play with them - I don't know how to, anymore ::) I just buy them, put them on display, and just stare at them.
I guess this is what it feels like for Hugh Hefner, down at the Playboy Mansion :lol: :lol: :lol:

I would love every second.
For me it is just having them,

But I love setting them up, and then re-setting them up,
And changing around their weapons, their hair... etc etc.
I like to fiddle, and a job where I get to fiddle... :love:
-
Colonel Klicky, I agree with you completely about the Union and Confederate Add-Ons. I would buy at least a dozen of your proposed Confederate Add-On packs, with single-breasted tunics, and a dozen of their Union counterparts. :) There are two sergeants in the redcoats pack too! I had to remove thier stripes with Bar-Keeper's Friend.
I agree with Bolingbroke, WarriorOfToys, and Shirona that Playmobil almost never seems to produce a "perfect" military Add-On set. The only exception I can think of is the Roman legionary 3-pack, although they should have been given different hair colors, but every other one I can think of is a disaster requiring mandatory expensive customization. While I do like to customize my leaders, I'd like to be able to buy pre-made "perfect" rank and file soldiers.

The Romans were great! (http://www.klickywelt.de/images/smiles/head_roemer.gif)
Even the hair color thing wasn't that bad... :)
I liked them being all the same that way actually.
Cuz now I can switch around those hairs with whatever other hair I have that I have too much of.
(Like blond hair... ;D Or my recent purchases which had TONS of black haired klickies.)
Now, all my Romans have nearly individual hair, and defiantly not the same color. ;D
-
I do like the redcoat officer but the pirate prevents from buying the pack in too much numbers. :(
I'm amazed at how many blister packs are out there, I'd like to see the Roman pack with the legionary and centurion or with the two older specials in store. :D
If I could make a suggestion for the ultimate blister pack, it would be:
(http://collectobil.com/images/items/4577.jpg)
and the German officer from this set (with a bolt action rifle aswell?):
(http://collectobil.com/images/items/5504.jpg)
now THAT's worth buying hundreds off.
-
I yes!!! That would be a great blister!!!
-
It wouldn't - how many fatso Prussian officers are you going to have in your army?
*sighs*
Speaking of which - which 'military' klicky is the most recent one, historically? ie close to our time? Apart from police /SWAT ones, of course.
-
Well, perhaps they could use a normal clicky for German policeman/soldier. (But, who cares, he has a Pickelhaube :D , wouldn't mind seeing it in a different colour like dark grey or tan :love: )
As for closest to our time... I think the British guards would be the closest real 'soldiers'. These can be used from the 19th centiry to our modern era.
-
Thanks - again, speaking of which - why didn't the roman theme have ANY fat klickies? Not even a fat emperor? Weird.

Now, all my Romans have nearly individual hair, and defiantly not the same color. ;D
I actually like them having the same hair color too, but I wish it was black.
I'd love to have a blister pack with the Roman soldier and an updated regular Prussian soldier!
A fat emperor/patrician would have been a nice addition to the Roman theme, although I wouldn't want the soldiers to be that way.

I think a lot of adult just love Roman theme and fall back into love of playmobil all because of them. What about the Vikings? Do you guys like that?? I got the latest vikings blister and love them, though I initially dont.

The Viking ship was the set that got me back into Playmobil as an adult, so yes I love the Vikings! :viking:

Cool......my favourite blisters, yes......multiple of them, would be the ninja+mandarin prince, seaking and seaqueen!!!!!!!!!!! I love how they re-introduce the older hard to get specials to us and the kids.....
I never own the original klickies with asian eyes, are the moulded the same way??
-
can they make more blisters with A LOT OF KIDS in the knight theme?? or the Roman ....to any historical theme? I just dont have enough kids for my display.

I like Vikings! (http://www.klickywelt.de/images/smiles/head_viking.gif)
But I didnt like Playmobil's very much... :-\
The reason being? ???
They had horns on their helmets. :hmm:
Isn't Playmobil supposed to be an educational toy?
Everyone (who cares to even think of looking more into the Vikings) will now that that is just a myth.
Unfortunately the common belief is that Vikings had horns on their helmets,
And nothing will probably change that...
Until slowly but surly those of us who do know spread the word. ;D
DEATH TO THE HORNED VIKINGS! (http://www.klickywelt.de/images/smiles/head_viking.gif)

I think it wouldve been disappointing for the children had PM made vikings without the horns - still, it's easy to give them more accurate helmets yourself.

Yes....I am not happy with some of the roman warriors missing the crest,,,,,HHAHA

You used a horned viking smiley! You are guilty of spreading the misinformation! ::)

Suppose so... :-\
But there is probably no non-horned Viking smiley. ::)

I can't really fault Playmobil for giving the Vikings horns. :viking:

Hi
As collector/customizer of pirates & soldiers, to me this is indeed the best blister (not set!) Playmobil released (will release) sofar.
Indeed it would have been better if both figures were sold seperately.
But the Redcoat is really :rock: , his torso is new and the hat is great.
The pirate's upperbody is also new and is very nice 8-) , from what I can see from the pics.
I'll try to buy 11 - 21 of them, depending on my budget.
(uneven numbers: 10 or 20 soldiers + 1 officer).
Okay, I'll have too many of the pirates but I think he's really good for customizing. The yellow "egyptian" shirt-sleeves (only seen - at least with caucasian arms - in white sofar in 2 sets: US exclusive 5865 and the European/US Pirate Tower 4776) can be used on other pirates or medieval klickies with such yellow shirts. The legs can be used for other pirates or sailors, like the hairpiece which is also very suitable for soldiers (non-officers). And you can allways trade him, sell 'm or whatever...

I might not order the set,
But I will try to order the redcoat figure from Playmobil DS
And I will use him as my Line Infantry in my Napoleonic army! ;D (to be produced... soon-ish... :P )
But my hopes are a little higher... I want to make 2 regiments of them:
24 men per regiment (including captain and flag bearer), 48 men total! :love:

Ah?! Can klickies from Blisters be ordered at DS?
There aren't part(klicky)-numbers included...
If that's possible, I might do the same as you. Would make a larger force (regiment) a lot easier to achieve.

You might've a point Hadoque. Those egyptian sleeves would certainly look good on Ottoman warriors.

I don't know if it is possible...
But USA DS offers to tell you any part numbers
So long as you know the set number and can describe the figure/part.
That is how I got the part number for the Roman Auxiliary Special (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-3232).
So here's hoping it does! :crossed:
-
I haven't seen the redcoat's legs before.
I haven't read all the thread, so, maybe someone spoke this before, if so, sorry for the redundunt post.
The legs were used in the conquistadors released as "Pirates", only, in yellow&black.

I googled the set number and noticed the picture of the real thing (in the package) is out!!! The colour looks cool, but less sophisticated than expected!! I guess people in the non-export market could get their hands on the set very soon,
