I was thinking about specials as I was eating a heavily loaded peanut butter sandwitch with jam at my office just a while ago . There are so many specials i really like but my all time favourite has to be the 4501 Sherlock
http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4501.htm
which is also the very first Special. I actually have him in my car as a lucky charm , also because my car has green leather interior so coloursise he fits in perfectly !!!!!
I love this special klicky, so whats your favourite ?? ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

4521 arab warrior
4542 ruffian

4693 SWAT copper

Well, the most extraordinary I think was the 4577 Royal Guard (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4577.htm).
But the special I liked the most is definitely the 4581 Pirate with Skull (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4581.htm).
This pirate also reocccured in an easter egg and is just magnificent! :love:

Is the Forest Ghost a special? ???
If not, then definitely the "King's Knight" or Templar special (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51YZbxAZLgL.jpg&imgrefurl=http://toyfigures.guidestobuy.com/kings-knight&usg=__UHXQUYdCp9fSJUwBfdqxx9Viek8=&h=328&w=314&sz=33&hl=en&start=0&sig2=9GJLQ1W13KfMxQHft6DIhg&zoom=1&tbnid=DJHR729YCGC7RM:&tbnh=139&tbnw=133&ei=IRPQTLjGNsKqlAfP2On4BQ&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dkings%2Bknight%2Bplaymobil%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1372%26bih%3D710%26tbs%3Disch:1&um=1&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=660&vpy=203&dur=200&hovh=229&hovw=220&tx=73&ty=122&oei=IRPQTLjGNsKqlAfP2On4BQ&esq=1&page=1&ndsp=21&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0). ;D

This is very interesting, Giorginetto! I first saw the notice of your new topic in my list of new email messages. It said, "What is your favourite special of all time (with picture please !!!)"
I wanted to be really sure of my favorite, so I went to Axel's "Collector" and looked at them all. And, before I saw that you had posted your favorite, I had already selected 4501 The Victorian Detective (Sherlock Holmes)!
I was thinking about specials as I was eating a heavily loaded peanut butter sandwich with jam at my office just a while ago.
But, it didn't end there ... I thought that I would post my favorite before I went to the kitchen to make a peanut butter sandwich !!! That's scary ... 8}
Great topic. Thanks for starting it,
Richard

Indeed :lol: :lol: :lol: ... Might be some very interesting association between peanut butter and Sherlock perhaps that is worht to analyse ... Or simply as they say , 'Great minds think alike' :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I wanted to look through all the specials before I answered, and then link pictures, but playmodb seems to be down. :( is anyone else having this problem?
Never mind, i just tryed http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and they said its everyone.

hmmm. That's strange :hmm:

Bonnie, all the specials (up to 4638) are HERE (http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/catalogue.html) at Collectobil!

I love the 4583 - Sentry (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4583) most of all specials!!!
Although its supposed to be a special, I have almost 200 of them!!!! ;D ;D ;D

However it isn't a theme I collect, I love the chimney sweep,
this one reminds me of my childhood, and it's much what I'd like playmobil to do:
not only new stuff, but relaunch old stuff with new looks.

Thanks, Richard! :wave: :wave:
Well, I think my favorite of all time is 4649, Dad with barbecue. http://playmodb.org/setpics/4649.jpg
I know that probably seems really boring to most people, but my husband just lives to barbecue (I even gave him grilling tools for our last anniversary), and he has a charcoal grill just like this one.
My other favorites are:
4527 Mongolian Archer http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4527.htm
4564 Tribesman http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4564.htm
4577 Royal Guard http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4577.htm
4582 Robin Hood http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4582.htm
4591 Queen http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4591.htm
4685 Masai Warrior http://playmodb.org/setpics/4685.jpg and
4697 mom with jogger http://playmodb.org/setpics/4697.jpg
I couldn't narrow it down any more than that; I love specials!

Funny thing, the one in the Playmobil official site has different colours than the one in Collectobil.com (attached), which are the colours that I remember (blond guy, red neck ..thing).
Paying attention to the picture, it seems to be exactly the same picture, and, by the details. its original colour must have been that of the Playmobil site, for it looks more likely to have been painted in the blond version ... (Probably they were sold both versions, back then, for some reason. Or maybe the colour was changed after the picture taken, for any (market) reason(s)? ...)
Crazy! 8}

Ps. By the way ... Shouldn't this topic be in the Collector's Corner? ... :hmm: ::) .. :wave:

4583 is a great Special, Panos !!!

I love to see all your replies.
Too bad I am too late to come into playmobil collecting. I want 4501 so bad.....he looks really cool!!! But the design of his hat, which I have never touched, looks kind of brittle. Correct me if I am too wrong
My favourite would be
4530 the witch<-------------Love the colour scheme. My fav sneaker is black and red too
4577 Royal guard<-------------happens to be black and red AGAIN, I love his hat and this is a dream item
4595 Palace Guard<-----------Very cool special, love his skin tone and the light blue clothes
4611 Royal Guard<------------very cheerful a guard!!! Thanks god it got reissued
4659 Roman Fighter<-------------my first special since I collect playmobil as an adult
I think my list is quite expected, and many of them are well sought after on EBAY. And I dont own most of them. But thanks some of the members here, I am able to get some discontinued. Thanks again~~!!

hmmm.... it's difficult to choose but my best is the red fancy cowboy with the mirror http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4525.htm

That's really tough. It might be different on a different day but for today I would say the 4615 Shepherd (http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/4615.htm)

Not a dragon Knight grangel ????? I am shocked !!!! :o :o ??? ??? ??? ???

I like many of the Specials, but my favorite has to be the Detective or Sherlock Holmes.
Panos, you really have a lot of medieval klickies! :o
-
I don't think I can pick just one which I like better than all of the others, but this set has a special place in my heart because it's one of the few with a Victorian theme and also because I used it for my first avatar at playmoboard. :)

Yep! Gold high-heeled shoes. Very posh. ;)
She was referred to as the "Victorian Countess" in most of the catalogues. :)

AH... the good ol Countess. I've tried on more than one occasion to bring her home off of ebay with no luck. :'(
Personally I really like this guy:
(http://www.collectobil.com/images/items/4576.jpg)
and:
(http://www.collectobil.com/images/items/4552.jpg)
There are several that I really like that I can't ever seem to get my hands on, such as; 4507 Thief, 4508 Sax Player, 4524 Executioner, and 4544 Bandit.

What is that second one? An indian scout for the US cavalry? Or a native american who killed a soldier and took his coat!? :lol:

I've heard they call him "the rebel". so I guess it would be the first choice. :)
-
He's a scout for the US cavalry and I just got him in a big mixed western lot and I'm digging him alot. But the "killed a soldier and took his coat" storyline isn't too bad either! ;D

Heehee. :giggle:
I spent too much time around my brother who has a very active imagination!
