I like that idea! Rather than all the boring knights they come out with, why not something the collectors can use for expanding their armies? Kids won't know it's an old rerun.

Just bring back the old nuremberg guards and then Giorginetto will also leave yuo all in peace  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

ooops time to go to the den !! for like 12 hours !!!  :love: :love: :love: :love:
:knight: Steck is Holy . Bring back more steck sets and its guardians , the Nuremberg Guards :knight:

Because they are easily found (and cheap) on ebay. Fleur de lys knights etc go for around 2 euro each, which is a very decent price for a klicky.

I doubt they will do any middle east theme. Is too political correct for these cultures. Look how quickly playmobil stopped producing the arab warrior. And the Janissary especially will not be welcome by many sides, especially from christian societies. Remember, the janissary corps were formed off recruited boys, from Christian families and doctrinated into the Ottoman faith and army. I wont go in more details and I dont want to start a debate here, either religious, political or historical, but its best to avoid the creation of such specials.

I think they would be fine making middle-eastern specials... if they simply used the regular smiling faces.. no frills.. just big smiles  ;D but since they insist of weird eyebrows and stubble and stuff when making them... yeah they could be perceived as the Playmo bad guys... and as we have been told there are no playmo "bad guys" .... oh wait now there are robo GANG anyone  :lol:
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

What happened to the Arab warrior? It is still sold in Belgium, in some stores at least. PM make fine middle-eastern klickies, when they bother. The warrior is one of my favourite specials ever. Simple but very effective design.

I agree its a great klicky, but cant seem to be able to find it anywhere any more... I have not looked for it lately on ebay to tell the truth :-\
Maybe if they keep their vaque designs, playmobil can produce middle east klickies after all.. like the egyptian graverobbers...

---edit---

well what do you know.... 23 listing in ebay at the moment... my hand is itching  ;D

Provided they are now coming in Special Plus, more accessories would be included in one box. Though in the down side, more redundant parts would end up in the boxes.

BTW, I think you guys have given a lot of cool idea.  :wave: The harp player is really nice, and sounds very GREEK.
