Now that PM has violated pretty much all their other "will never do" rules, I think it's about time they broke the last taboo and did modern military sets. specialist is here showing exactly how it should be done.

They've skated up tot he edge with the SEK stuff in the police theme. It's a touchy subject for a German company. As Specialist's great customs here show, it's possible to make things up from existing parts. I really can't see them doing any modern heavy equipment, they barely keep up with advances in realistic firefighting or construction equipment these days instead choosing to jump past it to fantasy items.

Heavy equipment would not be great, I think the best way would be to do historical figures like the museum releases. WWI would be pretty uncontroversial I would hope. Or modern "peacekeepers".

Nice and simple.
It doesn’t matter how big or small your Playmobil collection is, it’s what you do with it that matters.

I wonder what the market would be for WWI era artillery or tanks? And would I, personally, buy any of it...?  Frankly, no.  I prefer the pageantry and color of the Napoleonic era - and it's just a little further removed from the industrial scale horrors of the 20th century wars.
