 :wow:
thank you so much for this review andi.
i have a special liking for this set and foolishly tend to think playmobil produced it using my suggestion made over a dinghy that hadoque made to go with his licorne -
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1262.msg14900#msg14900.
moving house has kept me very busy for a very long time but i will restart to buy playmos now.
the 4444 will be the first newcomer to my new house.
one thing i didn't know, although i always thought it to be a needed feature, was the storage room beleow the planking.
this info really filled my heart with joy.

 :love:

 :wow:
colonel klicky, from klickywelt.de, meanwhile, produced this portuguese-man-of-war version of the 4444 kanonensegler.
the helmets are a little to much spanish-esque and caravelas (the portuguese name for these boats) were actually a a little bigger (big enough to go as far as japan) but the idea is great and it makes me happy to see the first portuguese-inspired klicky (needless to say that i am portuguese).

My guess would be US$29.95 at your local Target, when it arrives ...

 :)i got my kanonensegler today.
it is bigger than i thought (and that is good).
i missed the metal anchor (it looks the same but it is made of plastic).
i missed real cannon balls (it comes with tooth-pick-like projectiles).
i missed the older quantity of accessories (dogs, buckets, hooks, food, fishes, a guitar...) but this can be a pretext to buy some extras on ebay...
i loved the tiller (luxury would be to have a moveable rudder).
it has a special number (4444) and i think it will become one of my favourites.

The cannon suprised me, because I thought this was a European release, and I can still buy the normal cannons on DS - howeveer i don't actually fire the cannons often, so it doesn't bother me much.

Once I had mine assembled, the sail and mast looked too small for the hull. However to make it a playable size this is OK - any bigger and it'd be difficult to get at the deck.


It's a great ship all told, and I hope to get a couple more for my fleet.

 :hmm:you are right martin, the sail looks to small.
maybe there will be other versions in the future with a different concept.
there are a lot of samll detail in the hull that seem to indicate this - a couple of u-shaped frames on each side, the unfinished bow...
 ;) let us wait and see what playmobil can come up with.

Hi Playmofriends,

if i saw the new cannons last year i thought oh my god how crazy looks this.
Looks like Lego ?!

But this time i had two 4444 and some more new cannons, i must say its realy funny to play with this cannons a battle with my son.

Looks not realy realistic but you find the bolts after shooting fast.

That was the result from the new german weapons law !

But there many custom possibilities to make a realistic cannon !  0)
