mmm ... perhaps I should start watching Naruto  :lol:

To be honest, I am really curious how the theme will be played out. It looks as if these will be figures only (so no ramen-shop  :-[ )
Considering the number (12) and that they are talking about waves, I guess these will be bags, just like the F?gures.

Time will learn  :lol:

Thanks for digging this one out, JLMatterer!

I have read it won't be released in bags like the Fi?ures but in boxes (probably like the Special Plus boxes) with a different set number for each of the 24 figures.
12 figures coming September the 30th and 12 coming the 18th of November.

That would be a lot better - I like to know what I get ;)

Thanks for clarifying that :)

Identified sets would be better, I think...

Hope it's not the moronic packaging of the everwhatsit - THAT would go well with "being green"... and I also hope it's not that same ridiculous price...

Looking forward to parts. ;)

That’s great news, I hate surprise bags

I too agree that it would be nice to have the figures described on the packaging. I look forward to seeing the new parts!

I’m really looking forward to these figures.  :love: :love: I’ve read a lot of the Naruto manga and watched a lot of the anime when I was younger. I prefer the manga over the anime as the fights are sometimes very stretched out.
I think it’s a great license.  I don’t know if playmobil already has a market in Asia, but they will now.
Definitely gonna buy a lot (if not all) of the figures. My wallet will probably not like it  ;)

There's a pretty active collector community in South Korea. Playmobil has been in the Japanese market in the past but I am not sure how popular it is there these days.

Thanks for the link, Tiermann! :)

The shuriken and kunai look like they could be nice new pieces!

These could have some really great parts.

They are up on the German site  (https://www.playmobil.de/online-shop/shop/naruto) and Spain as well. Nice looking figures but still not perhaps production model images? January release.  Tobi has toenails.  :P

Naruto sets have been removed from the German site in the last 14 hours. I wondered why there were only 11 sets featured, not the 12 originally proposed.
Title: Re: NARUTO
Post by: GrahamB on November 17, 2022, 11:33:42
However, I did capture screenshots before the sets were taken down!

Here are the heads of the 11 figures with my speculations on which might have new hair styles (ten of them, 7 or 8 new styles).

Off the pt site too...  what does that mean? They messed up again?

YAY! Thanks GrahamB! :)

I know nothing of these (my sister can actually recognize the characters!), but some lovely parts there  :love:

Can't wait to get my hands on those :)


I think "Kakuzu" is the bald "hair" from that 007 fat guy.

"Hidan"'s hair looks REALLY familiar... but I think it's remind me of someone else's...

"Kisame" it's the same as the 70814 Ninja, no?

Yes, I think you may be right!

I thought so too- I thought maybe the vampire from the Scooby Doo mansion 70631, but he had more of a 'widow's peak'

Quote from: tahra on November 17, 2022, 16:11:31

Yes, you are correct, so that's three existing styles, 5 or 6 new ones.

Thanks tahra, two heads are definitely better than one!

I think the Hidan hair is new but it looks similar to the vampires from the Scooby Mansion and the series 21 boys. So three relatively new hairstyles which are similar. I think moulds are cheaper these days.

Can we tell if the Hidan hair is long in the back?

The series 21 vampire hair:

I have now found pictures of all 24 Naruto figures and had another go at predicting which hairstyles are new (14 in my estimate):

I still think this:

.. on a normal head, most likely, and not a "short one", like the guy in the 007 car.

Post by: GrahamB on November 28, 2022, 15:28:00
You are probably correct, Tahra, but I wonder if the part which fits onto the head (under the hat) might be shorter than the one used on Oddjob? We will have to wait and see!

Doesn't seem so to me...

The fat guy's head is shorter.

Really interesting hairs! :)
