Title: Garden gnome?
Post by: Ali Baba on June 10, 2010, 21:49:45
Got this one in this week. Somehow it looks familiar, but can't find it in de CG v3.

The figure is from the advent calendar, according to the playmo DB.

So, not a set? Just something somebody threw together?

Bought it because I need 7 dwarfs.

Looks like a custom set to me, although I'm not completely up-to-date with everything that will be released this year.

Your gnome figure is actually one of Santa's helpers as he comes from an Advent Calendar set. :)

This page at collectobil has all the official gnome sets, (not counting Snow White's dwarves from the DS):

Is this for a new project?

Thank you Sylvia, I'd forgotten about the DS dwarves.  I want some to go with Snow White so I'll look out for these.

Those Gnomes were great, if they were re-released worldwide I'd certainly Collect Them All.

Now that would be fun!  I'm curious as to how you are going to customize gnome-sized houses.  Do post the pics when you're done!

They are for my D&D-adventure. Interactive story, shall we say. These dwarfs will play a sinister roll indeed.

There is also an old "Magic" theme set with a goblin which fits well with the other gnomey sets. ;D

Maybe when I start making my Elven army (in the not so near future...)
I will buy a few drarves for a small contingent of them.
(Or maybe just to have a dwarf village.)

Yeah, that one is really great. I know of it. Haven't been able to find one, yet. I think I'll try to buy one, if I see one.

Love the druid gnome too: http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4957.htm

I got it in last week, just as the key holder : http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4962.htm

I also love the wizard gnome: http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4951.htm

I have 2 partial sets of that last one, almost enough to make one complete one.
