The Theme for June 2008

SPECIAL SPECIALS

Playmobil's "Specials" were first introduced almost fourteen years ago (1994).

During that time, Playmobil has created about twelve "new Specials" every year.
There have been Pirates, Fancy Ladies, Mummies and Ghosts to name just a few..

Playmobil artist Ralf Gemein has created thirty-three original "Special Specials" that were never produced by Geobra!

All the best,
Richard

Hey, Timmy ...

Quote from: Timotheos on July 03, 2008, 04:09:08

Hey Richard

In your introduction to Ralf Gemein's Greek/Persian customs, you used Marathon and Thermopylae in the same sentence.  I guess you meant it could represent either battle?

-Tim



Thank you very much for your excellent question !!!

I did NOT do a very good job with the title of this theme ... :-[

Ralf did not intend for this theme to only represent the Battle of Thermopylea.

I took a bit of "editorial license" because I thought that most folks would be able to easily relate the theme to the "300" cinema presentation.

I realize that i probably should not have done that, as Ralf's beautiful customs really encompass a much broader period of Greek history.

Perhaps a more appropriate title would be "In the time of Marathon (490 BC) and Thermopylea (480 BC)" or maybe even better ... "In the time of the Greco - Persian Wars" (499 BC to 448 BC)

Thanks again, Timmy, for helping to clarify this for everyone.

All the best,
Richard

They're all very good costumes by Ralf, as usual.

He kind of likes the XVIth century days, which is nice to me, because so do I, and Playmobil produced pratically nothing in that period. (Except for the first medieval (and only civil medieval) collection that, so good it was, it could be played both as medieval & Renaissance (...).)

Send him greetings from Playmofriends, Richard!, if you have the chance to do it :)
Tell him we too are enjoying it a lot! (At least I am!!! :D, as well as most all of us that aren't there but visit you guys through your links ;D )
