Title: A quiet day in my medieval village.
Post by: Erik on February 09, 2012, 19:17:24
Hi all!I just wanted to show you a few pics I've made from an ordinary, war-free day in my medieval village.The "townspeople" figures still make me smile everytime I see them-I've got vast armies of medieval knights and men-at-arms, and I love them dearly, but I wish Playmobil would start making medieval villagers again... :)

I disagree, how do they get anything done by standing in one place all day? :lol:

This looks great! Nice to see a tranquil medieval set-up. If they brought back these wonderful civilian sets, I would surely collect them!

Great pictures! I agree that a re-release of medieval civilians would be very nice. After all, the knights need someone to defend!

Let's hope the people at Playmobil will realize there's a market for these kind of sets too!!!

Yes, I hope they do. Not only would many collectors (and kids) who love knights love to have civilians to incorporate in their stories, castles, and villages, but it would reach a whole new market of people (like me) who aren't into knights at all but would enjoy these civilian sets, and probably end up getting a few knights to go along with them.

That's a very nice village scene, Erik.  It's good to see some villagers around here.

Very true. I like the soldiers too, but theres not much point in having soldiers and knights if they have no one to protect and fight for.
Seeing how modern civilian sets are very popular, I can't see why medieval civilians wouldnt be.

Medieval theme might be a difficult theme to collect anyways though.. aside from the limited amount of civilians and high price of medieval houses, theres new heraldry released all the time, and many of them are just on a single clicky.  And sadly there often seem to be as many knights as soldiers released which kind of messes with the balance of power. From store sets it would be difficult to get more soldiers than knights.

It was the main reason for me to want the siege tower back in the 90's. It had five soldiers and only one knight.
Then again I also really wanted the king's court set since it added all kinds of interesting medieval clickies aside from the two soldiers.

A very good cross-section of village life, Erik.  I especially like the beggar!
