An earlier thread about Roman Airgamboys: http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1968.0

I concur with the others that Airgam are too sloppy and not as loveable as PMs. Not just the individual figures; the range of sets on offer in the theme (see also http://www.airgamboys.net/tematicas.php?serie=Romanos ) is confused. Gladiators and soldiers are all mixed up with few clear distinctions made.

You could not build a proper legion with Airgam sets.

The same way with playmobil, no? Of course, Airgam are not available in the hundreds (at least not easily), and so a "pop tub" to fix them would be harder, I suppose...

I am very fond of them (everyone knows that by now), and the quality of the figures is not so bad (except for the design flaw in the feet!).. But a lot of the accessories are really really lousy.

And of course, that happens with playmobil, and being larger, it's even worse with Airgam - the "big stuff" is tiny. The roman ship is small for playmobil... ridiculously small for Airgam (as documented).

Those look well made
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:
