6696 Rypan (Super 4)
« 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?

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?

:o

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