Title: Lucky me, fighting stick for 4554 Ninja special
Post by: Ali Baba on February 06, 2011, 17:28:12

A while ago a bought a 4554 Ninja special, without it's wooden fighting stick.

Because I mainly buy from a local ad site (much cheaper than e-bay), I never thought I would find a loose one for me to buy. It is hard to spot in a lot of parts, and I do not see much ninjas offered anyway.

A couple of weeks ago a bought some bits and pieces (skulls, ghosts, skeleton). With it came a white skull on a brown stick. I couldn't believe my eyes. Without knowing it, I seems I bought a fighting stick. It's just that I do not know if it is really the part I needed. It looks the same color and length.

Can anybody please check the length for me? Please? Is it really the missing part? Is it? Mine is 6,425 cm.

I have the set complete and my Ninja's stick measures a teensy bit under 6.5 cm.

I'd say it's definitely the correct part you've got there! :D

Thanks Sylvia, that was the confirmation I needed. I´m very happy that it is really complete, as I like this special very much!

what I found strange about the stick is how soft it was. I mean how is it going to hurt anybody if it is so rubber like. I do not want to beat someone with a rubber hose after all  :P

your stick looks just like the original , congratulations on finding one

Is yours soft? ???

Mine isn't. It's just like the regular Playmobil plastic used for other weapons.

Mine isn't. Just like the roman spears. Just a little bendy, but most certainly not rubbery.

When the set first came out in the blister the sticks were quite flexible to the point you could bend them around in a hoop. I have not checked if they solidified over time but I sure remember them all rubbery when they were new.

Ahhh... I have the original Special set, not the blister figure.
They must have changed the plastic type used for the newer version.
