Post by: JLMatterer on October 25, 2023, 22:28:19: From amClicks: New exclusive reference Kloster Eberbach Foundation (https://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-playmobil/nueva-referencia-exclusiva-fundacion-kloster-eberbach/)

"The existence of a state winery in Eberbach Abbey dates back almost 900 years, when the French Cistercian monk Bernard de Fontaine founded this monastery in the small German town of Eltville am Rhein, in the state of Hesse, which is the current owner. since 1945 both the winery and the land on which its vineyards are located. However, since 1998, what is actually the abbey has been separated from the winery and has become managed by a foundation (Stiftung Kloster Eberbach). As a curious fact, several scenes from 'The Name of the Rose' were filmed inside this abbey.

This year marks 25 years of existence of this institution and, with the collaboration of Playmobil, they are going to publish a beautiful reference that will contain one of those Cistercian monks who founded it back in 1136, along with a wild boar, which, curiously, It is the animal that appears on the coat of arms of the city of Eberbach (state of Baden-Wurttemberg). Your reference number, 71398 ."

Post by: GrahamB on October 26, 2023, 08:56:58: I think they are black, the sandals. And that's a new colour for tonsured hair!
A lovely figure.

Post by: StJohn on October 28, 2023, 00:15:55: It's a great figure, looking forward to getting him. Nice to see Geobra finally producing a purebred Roman Catholic figure, even if this only happens by commission of a (former) monastery 8}

The box is smaller than I expected. The regular Specials size.

Now if they would release it in the US I can order a dozen or two …..but as Tahra says ….the secretary doesn’t like money

Post by: Klickteryx on December 04, 2023, 17:53:32: Is the printing on the back too? Either way a very nice set.

Still think they should do a Gutenberg and his machine set.

No there is no printing on the back, just plain white. But with the belt and the hood it is not really "plain" so doesn't really bother :)
