I refuse to call this *theme* the Knights Theme. This is verging into Steampunk territory. Clearly the new "Faux-Knights" and the Playmo Movie sets are being influenced by the success of the Lego Movies. Mashing genres together, making it look "cool" with lots of 'splosions and fighting! Ugh, so not where I want my Playmobil to go. On the other hand, as I close in on 50, I can identify with the Dad/Kid dynamic at the end of the Lego movie. I get that Playmobil is primarily selling to kids not adult collectors. Still disappointed though.
All, in all, I think there are some cool pieces in the new sets (both "Fuax-Kinghts" and Playo Movie sets) but I there's not much there to excite me as a whole.
Oh, well.
