Hello everyone! Although I'm not a big fan of the Super 4 theme, I could not resist the Dark Colossus because of his badass appearance. It costs 11,99 Euro in Holland, a bit overpriced in my opinion but so are all the Super 4 figures (4,99 for the smallest box!)
A short review for everyone who considers purchasing or for the just curious ones... ;)
Pic C01: the box... small!
Pic C02: the contents, including stickers (for the shield and the sword holder) and a gem we know from the fi?ures
Pic C03: there are pegs in the boots, they may be removable but I haven't tried yet
Pic C04: the belt is a loose part and can be removed (didn't try that either)
-
Pic 05: this is how the sword is attached on the back (you can see the peg in pic C04
Pic 06: with the A from Awesome! Note: due to the shape of the shield, the higher end on the right, the Colossus is
supposed to be left handed!
Pic 07: in comparison with a klicky. I thought he would be bigger, he's 9 cm tall
-
Pic C08: "Hey, Can-Head, take someone of your own size"
Pic C09: "Are you trolling me?"
Pic C10: the weapons are interchangeable with the troll... also capable of holding regular weapons
Pic C11: "I feel a terrible headache coming up"
-
additional information: the wrists and the arms are the only moveable parts and he can't spread (how do you say that, lift aside or bring in abduction) his arms like the troll.
Smaller than I expected, a little too expensive but I like him! He is just mean, looks awesome and a worthy opponent for everyone who wants a glorious fight!
That's it, hope you like this review.
Regards, Lynx

No problems with the review, but where are Playmobil going?
-
Can a klicky hold the big sword?
I see the handle comes off exposing a peg at the base of the blade. Can the peg be held?

Where's Playmobil going?
Fisher-Price, that's where, unfortunately... :'(

I loved the review! Thanks for making me smile!

Are his arm movements the same as a normal klicky? Forwards and back, rotation of the wrist, nothing else?
'Spreading the arms' would be correct in English. Can the troll do that? (We are saving our Troll for Christmas and I haven't read a review of him yet :-[)

Nice review :)

Thanks for a fantastic review ;D

Sadly I agree :( Although, if they are really aiming towards 4 to 6 year-olds, then I guess this makes sense.

Though one would hope they would come up with something better than this recycled fantasy junk.

Thanks for the details :)

But not compatible with the troll, right?

Yes he can! I think there was more than one review - I know I did: LINK (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=14213.0)

The post on the shield is too large for klicky hands, so a klicky can't hold the shield.

Thanks for that, Tahra. I can see how the troll can spread his arms, thanks to the second pic of your post, which shows the joints clearly. Perhaps I should prise open our box and have a surreptitious play....
Christmas morning: "Oh dear, children, this box seems to have been opened already, it must have been one of Santa's helpers, naughty elf!"
"Oh dad, Give it a rest, you know we don't believe in Santa any more! And we all know who has the Playmobil obsession in this family, don't we?"

This sort of one piece low detailed toy is something I'd expect to see in a cheap toy set from China. The quality of the plastic is superior here but the knight is dumbed-down rubbish. It should have the same level of articulation as the gorilla or troll.
The helmet doesn't even come off, it's in this stupid squat position, almost no articulation. This is a massive retrograde step for playmobil, I'd expect to see this in 1-2-3 if anywhere, not the main range. I can find similar looking stuff in any bargain bin - it doesn't even look like playmobil. Easily the worst set in the super 4 range.
I think it's a shame because the rest of the sets are really good so I don't understand why they went with this thing that looks like a budget generic knight toy.

I agree it is COMPLETELY not playmolike. At all.
