Title: How Many Knights and Dragons?
Post by: Dinobuzz on October 24, 2010, 03:02:50
Hi guys!
I was wondering if anyone knows how many Knight Clans there are? Pics?

Also, how many dragons are there?
At the top of my head, I can think of:
Red Dragon
Green Dragon
Black Dragon

Large Black Dragon

Chicken Dragons: red, blue and green
any more?

Thanks in advance for any input!

I can't answer your questions, but I will say I like the original green, red, & black ones like in set 3840 instead of the chicken dragons :no:!

yeap its the gren red and black chicken dragons. Then we have the dragon 5840 who is a lot more like a chiken... :lol: :lol: The newest big red/black dragonlad dragon, the red wyvern from 4835, the small green wyvern from 4836, their green (7481), red(4160) and blueish(7480) counterparts, and a black one from 4006.... So  I think this makes them 11...

Hold your horses for the knight fuctions...

About the number of knight clans: I once started to create printable banners (with Photoshop) of the different knight fractions existing in the Playmobilworld. This of course excludes customised and specific dragon heraldic signs. The file dates 2005, I think. There used to be about 35 different signs, anno 2010 there should be over 50, I believe.

Yes, Brilliant! :o
Would it be possible to ask for a slightly blown-up version,
So we could print some of the banners ourselves? :)

I have a section of my website about shields and heraldry at http://www.animobil.info/shields/ (http://www.animobil.info/shields/)
I have the Heraldry split into 24 types with some like dragon or lion having more than one group.  I only have images of the ones that I have shields for, so there are some missing. Most of them have more than one design in them as well. I have shields split by shape - there are 20 different shapes so far. I plan on adding flags this winter when I have time. I've started on that but haven't gotten very far. If anyone wants to help with these pages just let me know.

Thanks, I'll check my old data. It's been years since I've worked on this file and this is just an extract from a word doc. I'll try to find the original psd's and make pdf's of them.

As far as dragons, there are twelve listed on animobil (Hi, Tim :wave:), counting a green micro dragon that came out this year in the christmas market set, and of course, the red micro. I hadn't noticed the green one before, but it's really cute.

P.S. I love animobil! Since zoo is my theme, I often find it very useful.  :)9

Thanks for all of your input guys~ I wouldn't of guessed 12 Dragons! I have two Green & one red of the regular/normal looking dragons and one red chicken dragon....I'm on the hunt for the black one!

A tad off topic here but where did the red Nessie come from????? I have two green ones and as I was looking for the different dragons out there, I came across a red Nessie  :love: !!! I must have.....does anyone know anything about him?
Title: Re: How Many Knights and Dragons?

Yeah, the nessies are awful cute. As far as I can tell, the red one was only ever sold by itself as an add-on, never part of a set. Maybe it will be in the future sometime.

Yes, as far as I am aware the red Nessie was available as an add-on in the German market for one or maybe 2 years. It never appeared in the international markets (U.S. for certain) or I would have gotten one. I was waiting for it to show up here instead of having it shipped from Germany and then it never showed up. So I am still on the look out myself. I keep ordering the part number at US parts service but it's never been there. It's not listed by them as discontinued either which is odd.

Yes, that's all very strange.  ???

Maybe they planned a set that it was going to be in but then pulled the set for some reason after they had produced the nessies. I don't know.

Wolf Knight's casual mention of 4006 belies the fact that is not yet available to most of us, and has two new shield heraldic designs as well as the small black wyvern.
