I hadn't noticed the head either :thanks:

It could make a good rock star, biker, or punk rocker as well

Damo :)

He looks alright some nice looking accessories but, he's just nothing particularly special or different apart from the head

That head is great, and very versatile! Even when I saw it on my FB feed I didn't really look at it, only when I saw it here. :lol:

Thanks for the big clear picture of the headband with sparkly diamonds, its so ghetto fabulous. All he needs is earrings and he is all set for a San Fransisco parade especially with the wonderfull hairdo. I know how about a head band with out the diamonds for something Cheng is envisioning. I thought warriors historically had masculinity

This special plus business was a total fracas. They should sack whoever came up with the idea. Ive only ever bought one - the grey pirate - and nothing else, because it's very very little value for money.

The armoured knight with "practice dummy" and the archer with target were cool ones too! :)

The archer wasn't bad, granted (except he didnt come with an arm guard). The knight ... you have to ask yourself: was he an improvement on the old practice dummy knights? I didn't buy it. And to be honest (and I don't seem to be the only one now), I'm a bit tired of the knight, pirate, princess variations in each wave. In that regard, the Lego minifigure bags (even when they do copy PM, which they do sometimes) are miles miles ahead in terms of originality. The surprise PM figures are catching up somewhat, though. All the more a reason to scrap this Special Plus lark.

He looks cool, but they sure are using that green Dragon Knights theme a lot. :lol:

A real shame about that..

Then again, MOST specials aren't special at all for.... I don't know. For a LONG time.

I will call this a PLUS

But the heavy printing is gonna be annoying. :'(

The black sleeves, the turban and the head are beautiful on this one. The sleeves could do on a samurai wearing a Kimono, don't you think, master Cheng?

True... But.... couldn't those FLAT feet be some other color..

Now that is a nice looking Specials plus, I just hope Geobra does not decide to send it out with printed black sleeves instead just to keep up with demand.

No Ras, they won't. This part already exists in white and yellow. WYSIWYG.

Indeed!  8-)

thanks for sharing this very clear pic Heronimus! I can't believe they even put such a complex print in the pillow

you read my mind Cowabounga-Arnaud! (and I'm watching out for a dark-blue pair too! ;))
BUT these arms might not be black nor dark-blue but purple?! 8}

right Tahra! I've got too many gold shoes already but then I dont suppose its wrong on a genie...all he needs to do now is to wish for a what-you-call those shoes with curved-up pointed shoes  ;)

There are some nice specials there still, I like the woman with the cash register. Seems like something new for a special, and a good way to get another cash register for those that need it. Buy a few of them and with some tables and a building you have yourself a fastfood restaurant.  :)

Getting tired of knights myself as well, can't they release medieval villagers in these specials with some equipment?

A blacksmith with tools, a farmer with a handcart, a messenger with a horse, a monk with a lectrum, etc. Theres just so many great possibilities there.
If they want weaponry, they could at least release medieval bandits since they can be used as civilians.
