they are indeed.
... close action encounters.
there's even a broken topmast.
i guess they will have to visit ebay island afterwards.
fortunately new 3750 sails and spares are usually still available.
that's what happens when playmos don't get along.

Taking another look at the pictures of the pirate ship box, I noticed something.

First of all, that female pirate seems pretty tough, steering the ship and fighting off a captain of the soldiers at the same time.

And second, when the captain is counting the money in the cabin, she seems to be offering him wine. Is she trying to get him drunk so she can get more of the treasure?

This is why I love these old dioramas so much, whoever made them must have had a lot of fun with it.

The way he has his arms is either suggesting hes planning to catch her if she falls or he is making a gesture to go with what he sees, complimenting her for having a bum that big.  :lol:

:wave: welcome to the playmo-pirate world birdie.
;) you'll get hooked (a little joke).
:) if you don´t mind a suggestion to enhance even further the joy of having a 3750/3053 - try to get the crew from the other version (see picture).

:captain:  :arrr: you will then have the only official playmobil set with 2 crews - a total of 10 pirates no less.
they are not that difficult to get on ebay.
great buy.
congratulations.


That crew definately looks more modern with their more detailed bodies, alternative to that is to combine them with the crew from the Pirate Island also very good which was most likely what I did when I was a kid. Either way you'd build up a good crew   :arrr: :captain:

 :lol: It's interesting what you notice if you look closely enough I was going to say it was probably the first one but, I guess it could be either as you say
