Or Playmobil could do it right in the first place so we don't have to sacrifice a second klicky to get one good one...

But it's totally inaccurate! They would have worn their pistols tucked into the front of their belt, not in a holster on the side. It's not authentic at all.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Your base of argument is fallacious. Just because Playmobil frequently make mistakes in their accuracy does not mean we shouldn't call them on inaccuracies that bother us.

We dislike this inaccuracy because it is totally avoidable, and just on play-terms, it's impossible for this guy to hold his arm at a reasonable angle due to the length of the gun barrel, so it doesn't make for a good figure.

:hmm: maybe you are forgetting this set biggest inaccuracy - redcoats are sailing the ship instead of sailors.
 ;) they did a lot of things on board - http://britishmarines.blogspot.com/p/history.html - but sailing was never one of them.

Here's the pic of the back of the box from the official website...
The officer's uniform is soo nice...
He would be suitable for lots of customizing, weren't it for that holster ::)

The legs from the other Redcoat in this set are the ones with kneetrousers and shoes, they come fully in white here.
I don't find them very suitable for a (lower-ranking) redcoat either, but they are very good for use on/customizing of blue-uniformed English naval officers!  :love:

On a side note, some back-box images aren't available yet (pirates' island) though the 360°-view is. But I've found out the contents (f.e.numbers of included accessories) anyway by slightly moving the mouse over the image...

I've come to the conclusion all new pirates' sets don't include that many weapons:
* the black (nowadays darkgrey) classic longpistol only comes in about 3 sets, and allways there is just 1 in each set.
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-09-5440

* Not taking into account the here in January released superset 4007 & blister 4127, the classic pirates' sword is no longer included in any of the new sets , apart for Island 5134 ... where it comes in a blue(!) colour  8} , probably like the one in ghostpirates' set 4803.
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-09-5650

Oh, and the 5134-island should contain... a golden pistol.

That side-holster thing must be one of the stupidest decisions EVER. It was bad enough already on the current knight special. HWY? HWY? HWYYYYY?

That's really a shame about the holster, as the rest of the klicky looks magnificent. :'(
