Post by: retronio22 on August 07, 2012, 11:18:33
Here is the new German Catalogue 2012-2013

http://download.playmobil.com/public/eCS/Store/befr/FSICatalog/index.html

It includes also NEW sets they don't appear in any site!For example the new Noah's Ark (page 12) the new Take Along Buildings (page 13), also new speed cars (pages 28-29) , two new magic castle's themes (one of these is duo pack,and the man has new style of hair like Luis, and the other set is a take along set with fairies).

Are those golf clubs I see on page 47 in the top floor suite of the hotel?  Very cool.

It's the new "Benelux" catalogue, not the German one. :)

The Noah's Ark figures would be nice for some Medieval peasant characters, but I most look forward to the DuoPacks!

Strange, but it seems to me that the knight in the DuoPack has the samurai's armour. Perhaps it's supposed to be just a sort of leather armour. The knight here has it too:

Also - maybe we could merge the non-Wild Life theme posts from the other thread with this one for the general new releases in the catalogue. :)

Also 5241 Duo Pack Astronaut and Spy Robot. Robot is a bit Wall-E looking. Not terribly impressed with it, the ones in the regular Future Planet theme are more my cup of tea, but it's at least continuing development of the theme.

I looked into this possibility, but so many posts were about both the wildlife sets and others, so it's difficult to know which ones to split. Probably best to leave it alone.

Okay. :)

I wonder if the new silver axe heraldry will be featured in the next main Knights group, considering this is the second time it has appeared.

I'm really pleased with the Count & Countess-duopak  :)
The Count could go as Louis XVIII, the french King of the Revolution-era. The countess would need customizing to become Marie-Antoinette though.


Several items have meanwhile appeared on the (German) webiste;

http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=Bau


I'm not so thrilled about the prices...

For example a small take-along set with 1 figure and some accessories at 23 euros  ::)
That used to be the price for a  big take-along set not so very long ago, and is more expensive then f.e. the Indian Superset last year (which included a baseplate, a tipi, a horse, a canoe, and 2 figures)...
And those are the German prices, prices on the foreign markets are usually even higher.  :'(

They didn't equip the vampires with the bloodfilled drinkglass from the Vampire-Fi?ure...
Too freaky for kids?

If it were then why would they put it in the Figure?
I think it's probably a cost thing. it must be more expensive to produce since it's a two plastic mold.

I really really think they should have done a bat by now. If they are going to put out multiple vampire figures then it's time for certain. After all those other guys have had bats for years and years and their figure scale is much smaller.

Because parents - who are most often not (yet) collectors - didn't see that glass untill they bought the suprise figure and opened up the bag.  ;D

Well, if one doesn't like the "vampire" faces, just give them a "normal" head. :)

Yes these figures are too freaky for little children,but the most freaky thing for a child is to see the vampire lady (of blind bags) with normal classic face and remove hair,to see the evil face!!!This is so freaky!Double faced figures most of times frighten children!!!!!!!

The vampire faces do seem a bit bizarre, but they aren't as bad as some of the other printed faces. And I really dislike the double faces. I'll have to see more detailed pictures of them or buy them to make a real judgment I think. :-\

Maybe they aren't printed though. They could be moulded and printed, similar to eye-patch heads and such. :)

Do you mean that their eyes are moulded,and printed on?And by removing the printed characteristics,we can see their normal eyes?I hope so!The lipstick of the woman, though, seems only printed,but it's not a problem!I hate their eyes,and the mouth of vampire man!I would like also to have normal tan face and not white!

I love that Count as well.  Somehow, he seems Austrian to me.  Not sure why.

True....the duo packs are pretty neat. But once again.....I don't like to see playmobil getting too departed from their conventional looks. Hope they offer white heads with normal eyes
The Noah's Ark figures would be nice for some Medieval peasant characters, but I most look forward to the DuoPacks!

The gentleman in the Princess duopack will make a fine governor for my pirate theme. :arrr:  I'm also looking forward to a couple of the Super Specials and a few of the Western sets.  Still, it seems as if there's not a lot new for this next year

Thanks for sharing. The duo packs look nice. I've said before that I really like the blue and black double axe knights. I wish PM would put a different knight with him besides the red dragon knight. Also notice that PM is using the armor from the samurai special more. The knights with the take along castle thing are very lack luster.

You're right about the samurai armour! I missed that! Maybe it can be useful to make a samurai from a different clan!
