Well, the most extraordinary I think was the 4577 Royal Guard. oooooh yes, this one is great! I don't have it!  :hissyfit: :hissyfit:
But the special I liked the most is definitely the 4581 Pirate with Skull.
This pirate also reocccured in an easter egg and is just magnificent!  :love:

best,
socrates

However it isn't a theme I collect, I love the chimney sweep,
this one reminds me of my childhood, and it's much what I'd like playmobil to do:
not only new stuff, but relaunch old stuff with new looks.

Thanks, Richard!  :wave: :wave:

Well, I think my favorite of all time is 4649, Dad with barbecue. http://playmodb.org/setpics/4649.jpg
I know that probably seems really boring to most people, but my husband just lives to barbecue (I even gave him grilling tools for our last anniversary), and he has a charcoal grill just like this one.

My other favorites are:
4527 Mongolian Archer http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4527.htm
4564 Tribesman http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4564.htm
4577 Royal Guard http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4577.htm
4582 Robin Hood http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4582.htm
4591 Queen http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4591.htm
4685 Masai Warrior http://playmodb.org/setpics/4685.jpg and
4697 mom with jogger http://playmodb.org/setpics/4697.jpg

I couldn't narrow it down any more than that; I love specials!

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Funny thing, the one in the Playmobil official site has different colours than the one in Collectobil.com (attached), which are the colours that I remember (blond guy, red neck ..thing).

Paying attention to the picture, it seems to be exactly the same picture, and, by the details. its original colour must have been that of the Playmobil site, for it looks more likely to have been painted in the blond version ... (Probably they were sold both versions, back then, for some reason. Or maybe the colour was changed after the picture taken, for any (market) reason(s)? ...)

Crazy! 8}
