Whoo! Where to even begin?! First of all, thank you bml87 for all the info! Now for my thoughts:
I was very skeptical of the new pirates, but I was actually impressed! I'm not a fan of the pirate's sails, but they brought the cabin back! And a new lady pirate! The soldiers' ship looked pretty good to and they had sort of new figures as well. Even a dark-skinned one! The new "island" set seemed fairly new, but I personally would've preffered a new building.
I was very, very unsure of the Everdreamerz. I liked the concept as I'm a real sucker for candy-themed fashion (no pun intended). Yet, it just felt weird fo it to be coming from Playmobil. Then I saw the figures and now I'm HOOKED got dangit!

Guess I gotta get them all!
Now for the blind bags....I LOVED them!

This looks like a REALLY cool batch! With new and interesting concepts instead of (to my knowledge) recycled ones. Like: a male fairy, a dark-skinned female fairy (here's to hoping for a male one), a forest witch(?), a female dwarf, new ball gowns!, jester!, tall female clown, and that bear thing?.
Overall, things seem to be looking up so far! Here's to what the New Year brings!
