I voted 3750 but my vote is for 3750 V1, I liked the 80's crew on that one rather than the modern 90's figures.

Although 3750 is my childhood companion and had so many happy hours of playing with it, and so many memories, I have to admit that 3940 is my favourite one!!!

Ali, I do not think this ship is a pirate one...it was rather captured by py pirates and used as a one!!!

 I still class the crew as being 80's style on the first version released in 90/91, the fat captain cabin boy and older peg leg pirate are all basic figures from the 80's.

Hello, Martin...

Some old seafaring salts might consider 4444 a dhow which could possibly classify it as a boat rather than a ship ... :klickygrin:

I really love 4444, but ny favorite pirate ship is 3286/3940!

Thanks for starting this poll, "1989"

my love is divided.  :love:
 :) on one hand there is the 3750, with both crew versions (that is an enormous "plus" for me). apparently it was also hans beck´s favourite playmobil set.
 :) on the other hand the big 3940, very large and filled with extras (only one disavantage, the lack of a correct number of cannons).
 ;) for all of you who have just "started" there is a thread showing all pirate ships ever made by playmobil - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=4639.0

That was my vote.

How much difference is there between 3750 and 3550?

There are only cosmetic differences, or aren't there? And a different crew?

the flags and stickers are different yes. the 3750 stickers rumn all over the hull.
The sail patterns also differs, 3550 has a plain non coloured sail, while the main sail has a lion and a scimitar on it!
The 3750 crew is also very advanced!! not simple one-colour klickies...the fat captain, the curved female pirate  :love: :love: :love: the pegleg old man... these are great klickies! Of course, no pirate, in my humble opinion, can stand up to the first original black pirate captain!!! I think cachalote will agree with me!!!

My favourite pirate ship is 3750, but my favourite ship in the 'pirate theme' has to be 3740.
I like the shape, the sails and especially the crew. 
(I do like the red corsair too because of the shape but not the sails.  I prefer mine with the black sails I made for it).

And Giorginetto abides also. He is the greatest and his sticker medal is still awesome as well as his gold sword etc etc .. The beeeeest !!!!

Thanks Wolf and playm1989. I thought so. I'll buy me one of those in the future, and this knowledge is a great help.

And the black captain is indeed great. You can never go wrong with black, eh?

Really? Never noticed it before! Good to know Alex!

Glad we could help Ali Baba!!

I have two such pirate captains...the one is an original but was missing his leg and arm cuffs, sword, and cutlass, but I was able to get them from ebay a few years ago...the other is a reconstructed one, again from various bits and pieces!!

It’s a toss up between 374Ø Schooner Ship and 3286 Frigate (I have one of each), though I did retrofit 429Ø Large Ship with a Captain’s Head…

Mine as well. I regard it as the most realistic (big) Playmobil-ship for 18th and early 19th century seawarfare.
