Playmobil Medieval Helmets

Maybe a similar topic could also be made for the various shield types, chest armor and other armor?

Thanks for the information, Tiermann! I just lumped the curved insert helm with the other one I think. I'll have to add that one. And that would be great to create a chart like your caparison one; those look great.

Animobil has a great shield index with pictures, so that would probably be up to Tiermann, since I think he has every shield that's ever been released! Unfortunately, I don't have all of the armour types or even all of the helmet types (as seen in my image, haha!). I'm sure one of you must have them all. It would be fantastic to have a complete index of all armour parts in some easy-to-view charts or something though.

Almost every shield. I am missing 4 old ones, one current, and then the ones that are out in Europe but not here it the US yet. All of them are listed on the site though. There are 21 different shield shapes, go to http://www.animobil.info/shields/ and click By Shape or Type and you will get the image list

It is a great database yes, I was thinking more about opening the discussion though. 

Personly I'd like to see the simple round shields with the metal centerpiece return. Great neutral shields perfect for common soldiers and also for knights. Or maybe a new simple wooden round shield without any metal.

That's a cool idea. I am surprised that there hasn't been a shield like that, really. The round viking shields are probably supposed to be made of painted wood though.

True, but they seem to only really go with vikings for the most part. Great shields for vikings, but their use is a bit limited. Nice neutral shields have a wide range of possibilities.

I really like these threats as it reminds me how grand the medieval playmobil is 

The nurnberger helmet in chrome is such a superb divine helmet  it deserves a place in heaven in that list

So, does anyone have a clear enough picture (or the catalogue itself) to see if the golden samurai's helmet in Fi?ures Series 5 is a new one or just a recolouring of the other samurai's? It looks to me like it is different. I wonder if he really is supposed to be a Japanese samurai or something else.

I'd say he's more like Chinese or Korean, but I guess Master Cheng will tell us when we have a better picture.

thanks for the pictures and links . It is really nice to see how the helmets compare to each other in one picture. My problem is I like them all for specific purposes  yes even the crazy looking red w/horns one
