Title: Special set! King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima from the Netherlands!
Post by: Erik on April 26, 2013, 09:11:42
A special set that will be in the Dutch-and hopefully Belgian-shops in june!
They're especially made for the coronation of the new king of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, and his wife Maxima!

That's an interesting new field for Playmobil, and the printing on the Prince looks very impressive.

Saw those floating on THAT site, but I was convinced they were customs...

Just saw that...

It is sad that the pics appear first at a 3rd party site. I don't really understand that.

Those pics are around facebook for DAYS (at least). I thought they were custom because of that.

It boggles mind that things continue to appear on non-official sources before. Even before the PCC, where one of the perks was supposed to be first hand knowledge.

Very nice.... her dress is too plain though. It could had have some golden detail or something.
His uniform is AMAZING! But .... isn't William  a readhead??  :hmm:

could use a better hairstyle yes, and might be nicer if it portrayed him as king, as he will likely appear for the pictures when he is crowned. With cape and crown.

Her dress is plain, but it has that really nice skirt style, and the somewhat light color without any printing will be easy to paint and customize. :love:

I love this set!  It isn't to flashy, but I really like the idea of real people in playmoform.  Hopefully we get to buy it around the world and that they do more of these.

The soon-to-be-king Willem-Alexander looks really nice.  8-)
As Playmobil-Benelux is responsible for the distribution, I wonder if this exclusive will be available in Belgium as well or only in The Netherlands... ???

Playmobil will introduce on July in The Netherlands King Willem Alexander and Queen Maxima. Playmobil hoped to introduce them on 30 April (when Willem Alexander and Maxima became officially King and Queen), but did not succeed. But as promised, the pair will be introduced  :).

Btw, looking at the pic I think they made a slight mistake when assembling Maxima: the right & left arms should be switched around.

I like his costume, but how could they fail to notice that Willem-Alexander doesn't have brown hair?

I wonder if they'll do our (slightly less popular) Belgian prince Filip too. Isn't he supposed to pronounce taking over the crown from his father in July? This could be interesting  :)

It's not official, but it's been hinted at (I heard speculation on the radio and read it in magazines) because Albert doesn't feel up to it anymore, with the elections in 2014 and such. So 21st of July was suggested. I didn't think it was pure gossip because there were so many sources, but I'm not sure.

It will be a bit difficult making the Belgian royals in Playmo : transferring unsymPATHETIC wooden puppets to lovely, sympathetic plastic figures ain't easy... ;)
