I must have missed your promise  :eh?: What exactly is this set? I mean its lovely and I certainly want a few of it, and I also understnad the occasion for this production, but cannot understand the connection between Schwarz and Playmobil  ???

This was first mentioned in this thread: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=11373.0 It's a set that has shown up (and since disappeared) on the toys r us website. (TRU is affiliated with FAO schwartz). It's part of their 150th anniversary celebration. Perhaps they are producing the iconic toy soldier in conjunction with several different toy companies?

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.

It is still on FAO's site here

I will be putting in an order for these and will get free shipping so if anybody wants some also let me know.
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

Panos, I googled FAO SCHWARTZ and it seems they have two stewards dressed like this soldier at the entrace of their shop in NYC. That's the reason for the choice of the figure if that's what you wondered.
Otherwise, PM can make a special edition figure when asked, providing you can order around 20 000 units, from what I was told.

Thanks for the aditional input, Arnaud! I had an impression this type of figure was based on a Schartz design, but I did not know that playmobil accepts special edition orders... then again, what are all those special issued klickies we've seen in various historical sites and anniversaries for...

Hi Ras,
Would it be possible to send one of these guys (+ box) to Belgium?
I'd be happy to pay OR trade something!
If you're interested, just let me know.
