Title: 2019, another special set - JAMES COOK & MAORI
Post by: cachalote on July 04, 2015, 21:40:57

captain james cook arrived in new zealand in his first voyage in 1769.
it will be 250 years in 2019.
there, he met the maori culture, built by polyneseans that arrived somewhere between 1250 and 1300.
1269 could be a good date.
it will be 750 years in 2019.

:) both dates, i am sure, deserve a celebration both in new zealand and the u.k.

;) both, i am sure, would deserve a beautiful double-figure-king-size playmobil blister.
it would be sold all around the maritime museums in the u.k and all ovver the place in new zealand (a new martket).

again, most of the parts are already in stock.
even a sheep.
a kiwi would have to be made though.

Yes, that would be quite an interesting theme.

What about a group of Maori around a Hangi (a pit in which food is cooked on heated stones).

I would love to see a Playmobil Marae complete with carvings.  Maori carving is fantastic.

And the British soldiers who faced them, the Fencibles, would be an interesting addition.
