Hi,
In the german forum are rumours of what the new specials in the summer of 2006 in Germany are going to be:
1 Cleopatra (with painted eyes)
2 Pirate with braided beard ( LeChuck from Monkey Island)
3 Gladiator in blue with new sandals)
4 Indian (with bare arms)
5 plumber
6 siren/mermaid with shell-bikini
besides these there will probably be also halloween-Specials, like the eastereggs, but then with a pumpkin.
1. Mummy
2. black ghost with painted eyes
3. two children (one as a tiger)
4. vampire
There are no pictures yet; I'll monitor the german forum. Hopefully the rumours will come true...

Thanks for the news Jean Luc and Andi...
I really like the new pants on the Pirate!
And, I love Cleopatra! I wonder if we're going to get Egyptians to go with our new Romans? ... ;)
All the best and Happy New Year,
Richard

i thank you too Jean Luc & Andi
I agree with Richard, the pirate and Cleo are really good.
The gladiator has interesting pants too.
Were mermaids ever so rosy? But I do like the shells.

After a couple of island rums, they get real rosy, David! ... 8}
But I do like the shells.
Are you sure it's the "shells" that you like, David? ... ;)
All the best my friend and Happy New Year,

These are excellent ! Thanks for the photos!
That Cleopatra dress is amazing! And I love those eyes and the serpent headdress and her sceptre and golden crook. :love:
The little mermaid (Siren) is also very cute. (And yes, nice shells! But do they always have to be blonde? A dark haired mermaid would have been a nice addition but I can swap hair I suppose. )
The pirate looks like he's in short school boy britches :D...but I love his compass. And the helmet and colors of the Gladiator are cool.
The Indian ... oh well. And unless I've a clogged drain, I just can't get too excited about a plumber. :-\
As for the Halloween Pumpkins...what a fun idea. I've always liked dracula and the little devil a lot! These will make a fun way to get some more and will be super gifts.
And, I love Cleopatra! I wonder if we're going to get Egyptians to go with our new Romans? ... ;)
Wouldn't that be wondeful! :!: :*) <:> :)9
Thanks again for the sneak preview Andi and Jean-Luc! :D

You and I think TOO MUCH alike, King Richard ;D

So. Not a capris girl, then? ;) Think of them as piratical Bermuda shorts ;)
The Indian ... oh well.
Yeaaahh, with ya there. :-\
Thanks so much, Jean Luc, for the preview!!

Ah! That island rum! How could I forget Richard !
Maybe it`s not just the shells I like, more the flip in her tail.. :P

Wow, nice pictures.
Ok, now I'm convinced that the romans will come ;D
And looking at the Cleopatra figure, this gives a foretaste that the series will again have been well prepared with a lot of love to details (and a very lavish design).
... and for the comeback of the indians there also seems to be an evidence.
From the priate I also like the trousers and the compass most (I think the "LeChuck Monkey Island" beards has already been there ... ah, yes in 3858 Treasure Island (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3858.htm) and 3939 Pirate Crew (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3939.htm) ... but not in brown as depicted here ... although LeChuck had a black beard, as far as I remember ;))
And for sure the Plumber is a total must for myself. -- Yeah, a new tool! ;D
The mermaid as a Siren? Will there also bee some creeks? (Odysseus et. al.?) Interesting that they relanched the mermaid topic again as special ... and recently as the Nordsee special. But looking at the Halloween sets there seems to be in general a revival of "old" figures.

Hmmm ... Jochen, untersee ... ???
Maybe an ancient under the sea theme ... ???
Do you think that we can dare to hope for a "Lost Atlantis" theme?
Or, maybe even a "Captain Nemo - Nautilus" theme?
And, as for the Egyptians ...
Has our friend Gordon Smuder once again influenced Zirndorf?

Hello all,
I haven't posted yet on this forum, so how nice that my first post is a comment on a pirate! Woohoo! A NEW pirate - not just a re-packaging of an old pirate! I am VERY excited to see it.
The Cleopatra is wonderful, as is the Gladiator - and at our house at least the Siren will get rave reviews!
The best batch of specials in a VERY VERY long time, IMO.
And Dracula will be available again - very cool.
Thanks to matchboxluc and customizer for the info and photos!

CAPTAIN HENRY ... It's great to see you!
Had a feeling that the new pirate might get you a bit excited ... ;)
Hope to see lots more of you here at PF!
All the best and Happy New Year,
Richard

I must have the mermaid and gladiator.. but Cleo's makeup scares me. I may also have to get the pirate to sit on a shelf and pretend to be Jack Sparrow... he seems quite inspired by POTC.
-
Yay! I think this is the most exciting and varied line-up of Specials that's been offered at one time since I started collecting! I want them all! :D
Cleopatra's face will take some getting used to, but I like that they took a small risk and made something so different to the usual klicky style. Could well be that they were referring back to Gordon Smuder's suggested designs, Richard. There's quite a similarity in the faces. ;)
Out of all of them, the mermaid is my favourite. She is stunning! :love:
Thanks for the news and pics, Jean-Luc and Andi. It's very much appreciated! 8-)

... Could well be that they were referring back to Gordon Smuder's suggested designs ...
However, I think that I like Gordon's better. I also agree with Sylvia when she says, "Cleopatra's face will take some getting used to." And, I agree with Hoppatussa as well when she said, "Cleo's makeup scares me." ... 8}
I wonder if Cleopatra will scare the children who play with Playmobil? I know that I've never gotten use to the female Klicky's eyebrows and eye lashes ... :o
However as Sylvia said, "... but I like that they took a small risk and made something so different to the usual klicky style." Which is a BIG step for Zirndorf!
All the best and thanks again, Jean Luc and Andi,
Richard

What? She looks like a typical, American, pre-teen girl. 8}

I know! Susan and I survived two of them ... That's why it's so scary ... Déjà vu all over again ... 8}

What IS it with pre-teen girls that think the only eye makeup is black mascara and LOTS of black eye-liner? My Mom was smart, she convinced me that eye-liner was just too much trouble. :P

So ... what else goes with black? Black hair, black top, black skirt (or pants, or shorts), black shoes (or boots or sandals), black socks (or stockings), black fingerless gloves, black underwear (if any), black fingernails, and ...
Well at least Playmobil's Cleo is wearing white ... ;)
-
Thank goodness! And at least pre-teen girls don't want to go around wearing shells, like the Sirene :o :P

go around wearing shells, like the Sirene :o :P
Did you wonder when you saw that new Playmobil Special, if those were just the "half shells" on each side? ... ;)
-
I like the new specials. Thanks for posting :)

I Like the new specials
The beard on the pirate looks brown which makes it new.
I will have to get lots of them, and I kind of like the plumber. He goes with the house painter speacial released last year.
Cleo will be a big deal because her dress is fantastic.
Lots of ideas from that one.
I am disappointed in the Halloween specials
I dont really like the look of the Pumpkin and the figures are all recycled. :'(\
-
I can't say I'm really bothered about the others but Cleopatra looks amazing (as did the real one - or so we're told).
Now if we can only get Ceasar to go with her................
