Black hennin reissued
« on: January 29, 2026, 18:22:17 »
Back in 1996, Special set 4530 Evil Witch was issued;



She has a black hennin (cone-shaped hat) with red base and gold veil. The black hennin is part number 30094910 and is found in this set only (according to PlaymoDB). I have been looking for the three parts of the headdress of this Evil Witch for some time (to complete a figure before I sell it). I was therefore startled to find the black hennin is currently available as a spare part from Playmobil for £0.30, where it is described as ‘hat, pointed, lady.’ I bought one and found it is identical to the original hennin part:



But I cannot find this part in any recent set, either as part of a headdress or being used for something else. Anyone got any idea where it is used?
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I have also managed to get several of these as spare parts in the last few years, but I do not think it was ever released in another set. I have also wondered why it was available, but it's a great part in a nice colour!

Why would you sell that figure though? :-\
