Thanks for all the nice comments, here is a closer look at the three figures included, sorry I was so excited about the cows I neglected them.  :-[  All three figures are dressed in traditional costume.  The woman is dressed beautifully and has a detachable apron.  The girl is nicely attired as well, her apron is part of the figure.  The man has a great green hat, a red vest and shorts.  All three have short sleeves and the arms up to the elbow turn as a unit as opposed to the wrist.  Looks like they are ready to move in.   ;D

Thanks for the extra photo and details, Joe.  That change in the arm is interesting, and I wonder why they made it.  One reason could be youngsters are less adept nowdays, which I doubt when you look at them using IT equipment.  Another, and possible then real one, that the flush fitting wrist was harder to turn than the older design, (certainly, I found it so on some figures) and so having the turn at the elbow gives more leverage and, therefore, makes it easier.l

Well, that is anatomically more accurate...  :P

Joe

so the arm twists at the elbow not at the wrist? why does that sound weird?
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

...I am not that interested in the headgear and although I like the bells, the collars seem a bit too bulky...



Whatever could you mean?  :P

... I just found this image, and was blown away by the size of those bells.  Now I wonder if Playmobil made them too small!

P.S.  I need more cowbell.

Nice to see them 'for real'

I also thought those collars where big, but not as big as those pictures show. Thanks for sharing.
