Hi Andi,
Thanks for the detailed pictures of the new parts :wow:
I really like the new wrist protection and the new head is going to be very useful . To bad Tim is not around to use it, he was always looking for one of those .
-
New boots! I hadn't noticed that detail.
Could we see how the new sword fits into his belt?
Lots of useful new parts here, and plenty of scope for customisation, I'll be getting a bunch.

Hi Martin,
the sword are the same as the old one only without this peaks.
ENJOY

Thanks Andi!
That makes a very nice optional "standard" sword.
-
Very interesting new details in these sets! I'm starting to weaken when it comes to the knight theme :help:,... I MUST RESIST TEMPTATION :doh:,.....I MUST RESIST TEMPTATION :0!

I'm not a big fan of the fantasy route Playmobil is taking with the knights, but I really love that helmet the left klicky is wearing!
-
The Green Dragon Knights look like the "good guys" who probably live in the forest!
I think that I may like these Green Dragon Knights a lot more than the Red Dragon Knights.
Andi, thanks for another one of your very thorough reviews!
All the best,
Richard

I like that helmet also and see myself ordering quite a few of them through DS when they are here in a year . I must say the klicky who got the short stick in the draw when it came time to getting ready for battle will need one , cloth hats do not fare well in battle :lol:

I'm not a fan of the new Dragon Knights theme either, but some of the parts can be useful.
I like the new helmet, the new boots, and the new sword. I always wondered why Playmobil didn't use this sword to begin with.
-
I like these, too! I will definitely get some of these when they come to the US.

I recently got a few of these add-on packs, so I thought I'd add a few more thoughts now I have them in my hands.
The set comprises an archer/scout with cloak and hood, and two infantrymen with metal helmets. However the parts can be arranged in several ways, this is just my interpretation.
The archer has a cloak-mounted quiver and y-fronts belt clip holding a dagger, plus a bow. The set included three shields; two round, green with celtic knotwork, very suitable for leaders, light infantry, and one of the teardrop shape with a gree dragon face. This latter appears nowhere else in the Dragon Knights theme (as far as I can see), and it's really the odd one out, as the Archer doesn't require a shield and couldn't use one while firing his bow anyway. It could prove useful for a specific unit.
The figure with a metal coif for hair has the closed-face helm which is usually associated with the Red Dragon Knights. I'm not clear why this figure has been supplied with the wrong sort of helmet - at least until you look at the "Three Red Dragon Knights" add-on pack. He also has a Roman Legionary belt which just about fits his fantasy dagger, but I'd have preferred a normal swordbelt.
The third figure has an open-faced, and carries his weapons on his back. The black clip can be used to hold anything, and is very useful.
A good set for customising and beefing up your Green Dragon armies, but I'd have preferred the 30 20 3262 Dragon helmet instead of the 30 20 2212 helmet.
The comparative 7975 Red Dragon Knights group is far worse however, with two "wrong" helmets which lands me to think they're just getting rid of some old stock. Using the 30 20 2212 helmet from 7973 for one of these guys solves half the problem, but if I were adding these groups to my armies I'd want to order several of each type of correct helmet, and when I next put in a direct order thse will be on my lsit.

Thanks for the photos, Andi. In the picture of the new sword, what exactly is the weapon to the right of it, please? A dagger or some sort of magic piece?

its a dagger Gordon, but probably designed as a magic dagger of some kind. There are two big pieces of it, one green in the dragonand tower, one red/black in the bigger dragon land castle... They probably represent ceremonial daggers but these two big pieces are tie pins!

This one can actually be found in the 4775 - Knights Take Along Tower (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4775)
I'll agree with you Mrtin that, althought I still have nobought them but by looking at the pics, this set offers lots of accessories to rearrange the green and red dragonland series knights!
I'll also agree with your verdict that playmobil seems to be getting rid of stock pilling up in ther warehouses... good thing they are sending it our way ;D

:lol: Thanks, Panos.
No problem ;)
Just to let you know what I'm talking about... :lol:
