Title: Aliens Figures
Post by: grangel on September 29, 2010, 17:23:37
Hello to everyone!!
Can anyone tell if the alien figures from the Playmobil sets 3280-3284 can use the normal accessories like Helmets,breast armor plates,weapons,weapon belts ... etc.
I'm thinking of building a small ork group.

Yes they can Angelo!! I've seen older threads that use such figures for orks, macgayverplaymobil has also done it if I can recall correctly, and Ali Baba has done elves with them!!

I pinched the idea from someone else. Can't remember who. Might very well have been macgyver.

See my pics in this thread. The hats fit normally.

Almost all the aliens have purple arms. I didn't want to do hand swapping, before I got more experience with that. I used purple barbarians to customise because of that.

I have 4 of them now. They are not very easy to find at the ad site I buy from.

No, it wasn't a success.  When the new theme was shown at the Nuremburg Toy Fair it was very popular with the toy retailers  but the toy buyers weren't impressed.

David Hamer also made some orc-like characters using the green alien heads. :)
