I think you mean the musketeers Alex!  ;) I've never liked that name for these klickies actually! They are more noblemen/princes than musketeers...

Hmmm if the sets (3021 and 3022) where the original ones appeared stoped producing in 2004, maybe you could find them in DS after that year...maybe 2005- 2006?

I think they were musketeers in the sense of Alexander Dumas's "Three Musketeers":

I accept that Gordon! But they look nothing compared to that wonderfull illustration you've linked here!
I have these klickies, bought them in the original sets, and I like them a lot.
But sorry, in this DS set, I just see them as princes handling swords...

Hi

Well I just love their fabulous colors  :hehe: we have them too from the original sets and ours are fancy princes in the fairy tale castles

Shame they didn't give these three Musketeers somewhere to put their rapiers when not held.

With the number of Musketeer figures over the years I hope they're going to eventually do a full Musketeer theme, but I think they're really intended as add-ons to the Fairytale Castle theme.

I too thought this, Martin, but eventually came to your conclusion.

I think the Musketeer Specials are much better than these Add Ons.  Alas, I'm missing the Blue Musketeer Special and they never seem to come up on ebay. :'(
