Title: Pirate f?gure, wave 2, jewel eyes...
Post by: Wolf Knight on March 01, 2012, 15:13:21
Finally came across a place that sells the 2nd wave f?gures in my city, but had no time to look for more of them, so I started touching and feeling the bags and found the pirate I wanted all along.

One point! Look at the ''crystal'' skull... It has jewel eyes!!!! Now, I wonder.... someone here has experimented with placing real jewels on a skull before.... ahem, ahem Rasputin... I wonder if Playmobil is keeping us under surveillance, saw his custom and thought its a good idea to do it for this particular accessory...  :glasses:

That's really cool!

But the skull I thought was blue... would it come in different colors?

Always thought of it as green...  :eh?: Imagine if there really is a blue one  :D Lets start touching and feeling f?igure bags  :lol: :lol: :lol:

 :lol: :lol: Well, not exactly, but the more pirates you get, the more chances of finding a blue skull you have  ;D

I bought five of those pirates, not a blue skull in sight-only green ones, but maybe they're green from being under water to long (algae?)... ;) :)

I think that is a fair assumption. ;)

A long time ago I made a picture of a Vampire Princess which I customized (see below). It has been on the Playkingdoms site for many years now. One of the accessories I made for her was a glass goblet filled with red paint which was supposed to represent blood.

The other picture attached is from an ebay auction for the female vampire f?gure. Her outfit and hair is completely different to mine, but she does have a goblet of blood. Probably it's just a coincidence, but it immediately made me think of my pic. ;D

Hope to get this one eventually. It's really cool! 8-)

Yes, and we are also getting a clear klicky in series 3, something cacholate has been pushing for. I think they do turn to us for inspiration at times!

That would definitely be cool! :lol: We can only hope that that sentiment will become definitively real with the Collectors' Club!

You made a knight like the one in the 5972 Carrying Case too, right?

I found a sheet with two crystals on it on my desk after I had taken the photos of my fi?ures - I wondered where it had come from  and meant to check but I forgot :doh:
I'll put them on the skull now while I remember  :-[

If you need one (or others), just PM me, and we'll work something out. :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOO. They're expensive enough! (and that'd be even MORE pointless than stupid blinkie-winkies)

Nope. I copied it, but I made the caparison.  ;)

@Tahra: yes, the prisoner too. Forgot you did it! Or was it your sister?
Best,

Have no idea who thought of doing him... But my sister painted him, that's for sure. I can't paint a straight line, unfortunately...  :-[ 

But like someone said, it's a pretty stereotype thing.. IF someone else thought of doing a prisoner (which is not a hard thing to happen), that'd be basically what to do, right?
