Title: Alpine Horn
Post by: indianapierre on May 19, 2014, 04:06:15

It occurs to me that, although there is this whole new Alpine Country theme, there are no giant horns.

C'mon, Playmobil!?  How can I re-enact a Ricolla commercial?

Maybe they'll make a Special figure with one and some other Alpine item - or maybe just a different coloured cow.

Could have used some (swiss) cheese wheels as well.. I don't think cheese wheels have been made yet?

Awesome idea!

I also like the idea of cheese wheels. Or wedges or cheese in any form.

I don´t know whether these pictures can be seen, if you are not friend with Richard Unglik, but he has an alpine horn picture at his facebook site:

Scroll down a little bit to May 17th.

I think the Alpine theme is supposed to be Austria/Bavaria, whereas the alphorn is a Swiss thing. That's my guess.

Ah, a very interesting possibility!  Thank you for bringing that up.

I hope they apply that level of authenticity to their next "Asian Dragon Castle"  ::)

The German description translate as "Mountain hut" and the English description is "Alpine lodge", so I think Playmobil have produced a generic building here which reflects Alpine lodges/huts whether in the Austrian, Swiss or French Alps, so Alpine horn would not e out of place particularly.
