Thank you and Knusperkeks for the pics, Andi.  The new theme is certainly impressive, although it's not one I'll collect.  It looks as if it might be pricey, although oen can't be certain without knowing the size of the things like the buildings and the pyramids.  Presumably the decoration will be printed on rather than in the form of stickers, although either I would have thought would, again, be expensive to produce.

I wonder, too, how popular the theme will be in Europe and America.  Both areas see themselves as having direct links with the Romans, but ancient Egypt?  Maybe Playmobil is looking at other markets though.  I think they may be looking to areas such as North Africa and the Near East for new markets.

Really love the sets. There are a few worries though ... but I'll reserve my commment until I've seen better pictures (better close ups ). But still a theme I definitly WANT (please strike that through): NEED !!!

Fantastic series. I love the Anubis parts, and it looks like built in traps for grave robbers in the pyramid. For some reason the snake in the house set is a rattlesnake instead of a cobra. ??
The one thing that doesn't quite sit right with me is the Sphinx looking so human like instead of more klicky like if that makes any sense.

I totally agree, Tim ...

I don't understand why Zirndorf does that.

Occasionally, Playmobil does use Klicky faces. The Jungle theme was a good example:
