The legs aren't Odysseus's, he's got sandals not greaves. I'd guess they're Achilles's, since they somewhat resemble Patroclus's and we can't see Achilles below the waist.

Torso I've never seen before. It's a gladiator harness obviously, but I've never seen that printing. The "horn and lightning" pattern on the belt is Roman, but who knows if they're being accurate about that stuff any more.

Maybe a planned Fi?ures gladiator?

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, PlaymoCollector! :wave:

I would have no knowledge to share if it weren't for Playmofriends and PlaymoDB!

Yes, I've got two or three of those guys. One of the best klickies ever made in my opinion, and it's hidden away in a non-official line. Mine will be overjoyed to finally have more Greeks to talk to!

Indeed, such a simple and effective klicky – a perfect civilian for more than one era.

.de has put all twelve Greek gods up for sale. https://www.playmobil.de/online-shop/griechische-goetter

This is a very good sign, it shows there is strong demand outside of Greece and thus that the chances of the new mythology sets being released outside of Greece are high!

Well.. they don't answer any questions... at least I am not willing to wait a year or more for the possibilty.. At least with the smaller sets..

Did anyone see official prices for the greek sets yet?  (my wallet is having nightmares!)

The Gods are also available here now : https://www.playmobil.pt/on/demandware.store/Sites-PT-Site/pt_PT/Search-Show?cgid=GOETTER

Makes me feel stupid.

Wonder if the new sets will also be available.. At least on the large ones, I will wait...

The problem is that you just never know with Playmobil. If you wait you could miss it entirely and they never release them anywhere else. If you buy from overseas then it could show up later locally anyway. Even with normal themes this happens sometimes. The current farm theme isn't getting released in the US so I have to decide if I want to wait a year or two to see if sets show up as add ons or if I go ahead and get the ones I most want and have them shipped for Germany (when that can happen again).
