Novelties 2020 - first half

[playmovictorian]

So far, I am loving the Back to the Future DeLorean car and the Scooby Doo range with the Mystery Machine Van and figures which really remind me of the show I watched as a kid

Rakuten released the images of the new Pirates theme, enjoy:

Now we're only waiting for some more detailed pictures of the new zoo...

Thanks for updating the thread, bml87!

Nothing groundbreaking in these new sets, but at least there seem to be some new prints, and one can always use some more redcoats.

Thanks for the additional pics from the Pirates Theme. 

Concerning the ship, really stupid the ship comes with red masts and a red bowsprite, if they had been brown it would have been much nicer (and more realistic) and it would have provided people with broken parts the chance to repair their 3550s and 3750s.
That they left off the spanker on the aftmast is enoying as well. I suppose it also won´t come with a bell like on the 3550s/3750s... metal you know. But at least it has a cabin again.

When was the last ship with rope? It also doesn't have the cargo arm so I guess these are now just aimed at younger kids than they used to be. No pulleys to hold the sails in place either.
Giant skull and swords on the mainsail also makes it only a pirate ship.
The one thing they do these days is have shooty stuff on everything, even rafts. I would actually liked to have seen a smaller canon mounted on the railing somewhere like on the railing somewhere near the wheel.

Concering the bigger ships (twomasters), the 3940 released in 2000 was the last one with proper rigging.
It´s variant 5135 from 2011 had just 1 rope, connecting the 2 topmasts with the bowsprit.

mine too!

So if I count correctly they don’t picture 9 zoo sets including the Red Pandas

Thanks for the heads-up, tahra! The new redcoat in the duo-pack is a customizer's dream come true I think.
