same klicky or not

[larryman]

Hi,

I have bought quite a lot of pirate klickies in the last weeks.
Now there is one that I have twice. It's one of the pirates of the first crew of the 3750 pirate ship.
But there are some differences (besides the cuffs on the legs and the beard...)
- different color of buttons on the jacket
- the hook arm
- the color inside just above the legs

Is it my imagination or the hook one looks a bit bigger than the regular one??? The one with the hooks seems to be a custom one...when you pull a klicky's hand off the arm has a whole...What i think was done here is that the hook from these parts 30 60 1440 - Mast and rigging attachments
was used to replace the hand...

Both are exactly the same size. The hook could be customized like you said...
How would you explain the difference on the inside?

[Martin Milner]

Originally Playmobil had the chassis (the internal skeleton to which the legs, arms and head attach) matching the leg color, but later all the chassis were switched to semi-translucent white. I don't know why they made the change, other than to simplify the manufacturing process, or maybe the colored plastic chassis became brittle with age. The color matched chassis looked better.

The klicky with the white chassis is the more recent version of the same figure.

That hook is definitely not an original moulding.

very intresting i had the same concern about the diffrences on the different color of the buttons and the shirt!! the figure's shirt and buttons were changed when they putted him on the 3750 ship ??this clicky was first presented as single 3382  : http://www.collectobil.com/images/items/s3382.jpg
 
when they putted the figure on the ship http://www.collectobil.com/images/items/3750.jpg  or they changed the colour of the buttons and shirt or in the last ships that were made ?because the ship was realesed in 1990 and discontinioud in 1997
