Title: 6696 Rypan (Super 4)
Post by: tahra on October 17, 2015, 18:09:19
6696 Rypan

I'm not familiar with the character. Unfortunately, I only managed to watch a few eps, they are not to be "found".. and playmobil does NOT want my money.


Lots of space in the box:

The content:

As you can see, he is VERY similar to those jousting bags...

With all that armor, I think we'd expect a helmet, no? One of those big ones I don't really like.


The horse is the previous version - they STILL didn't do the.. barding? for the new horsies..

Printing all nice and crisp :)


He brings enough weapons for a batallion:

Unfortunately, if the shield is taken, that pike falls...


The new swords - very pointy! But soft. :(  Still, variety is good and all...

And I'm not sure we had the mace with that color of metal ball..


And Rypan himself... Blind on the left side, I assume:

Though the legs are not my favorite, that torso is AMAZING :love: - and the colors are all nice and dark..

He looks very very good - from the front, that is.

WHAT IN HADES IS THAT!? By the gods. The hair is freaking DREADFUL from the back!

That's not a mistake, right? I mean, a mismold or something? It's so... straight. Looks really really terrible. And also (though I don't really know the character) completely off with the rest of him...  Being a character, I suppose I will keep him as is...


We'll need to sort some men for him..

Thank you for your good review. This is not a set I need.

What does the Super4 folder say?

It's just a mini cat with the Super 4 sets:

I like the new swords.
I'll get this set at some point, I would prefer it if the saddle was a medieval rather than modern one though and the lack of reins is disappointing, as is the blank back of the figure. It would be great to see that chainmail print on the back as well as the front, that's all it really needs. 
The hairstyle reminds me of Jean Reno's character in Les Visiteurs.

Nope, mine is the same! It's a short-back-and-sides! Or basin cut (put basin on head, remove all hair showing)?

Probably stops the slave collar from chafing....

Yes.... What he said.... That's what I meant!

Is Norman Haircut his real name?

It is DREADFUL. If he wasn't a character, I'd remove it.

Haha I was interested in the new cat, took me three times of reading to understand what you meant....

The knight is approved by my boys. They love a blinking  one.

Thanks for the picture, Erik: this hairdo suddenly makes so much more sense to me.

Well the swords are nice but I dont see this set adding anything else of value.

Anything else is stuff we either have already seen or is a horrible looking clicky. But I suppose he might be good for parts, save for the non clicky face.

I do hope those swords will find their way in real playmobil sets too, made of sturdier plastic to match other swords. It's a cool design.

Feel free to send all the super 4 heads my way :)   I really love the torso too...

I seriously doubt that. Parts in "real playmobil sets" have become soft too. The flagpoles are beyond ridiculous. And pikes.
