Title: King Henry VIII & Wives
Post by: Emma.J on October 20, 2010, 20:46:13: (http://i1002.photobucket.com/albums/af143/Emma-J1066/Forum%20Playmobil%20Victorian/SDC19723-1.jpg)

You might recall I built a large Tudor Manor Hall earlier this year, it's currently packed up while I use the space for other work but it hasn't stopped me from working on the project. To that end I have started customising my figures to go with it.

So this is King Henry VIII and his six wives, Catherine of Aragon, Anne Boleyn, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Kathryn Howard and Katherine Parr.
I'm planning on Queen Elizabeth I next and then some more courtiers to go with them.

I mailed this pic to my wife. She is a tudor fanatic. I bet she can tell them all, just by looking at the pic.

Which one has the removable head? (Or was there more than one?)

Hi Ali Baba, :wave:
yes I've got a website its the blog site mentioned above. Thanks very much for your interest in buying these figures, I've had a lot of people ask for them, but I don't have enough time to make what every one wants as well as carry on with my other projects. :'(

So to be fair to every one I'll put the full set on ebay in November, with links from my blogsite if your interested.

:-[ :-[ :-[ :thanks: Thanks every one for the praise coming from such experts as yourselves it makes my day.

Hi Emma,

I am interested, although my comment about buying was a joke, really. Never thought you could bring yourself to sell them.

They really got my wife going. She really is a tudor fanatic (studied history at university). She spontaniously began talking about them over diner again. :lol: So it would really make a good present for her. I'd be glad to bid for them on ebay.

http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=6061.msg90334#msg90334

but I will add that I think Henry's body is about right in shape for his younger, fitter days. It was as he got old that he got corpulent.

Hi Gis,
I think it's the same colour, but I'd have to check. As to parts yes it's all system x so you could swap walls and floors without any problems, the roof parts are very limiting though so you couldn't change the basic shape, which is such a shame. I know the windows are larger than those in 5300 but I don't know how it compares to 5301.

I shall have to find up some 5301 parts and compare them.
