telepizza pirates

[cachalote]

this is my latest "pièce de résistance" - the long awaited telepizza promotional pirata duo. 
i have been waiting some years to get one on ebay and now i did it. 
the male pirate is not that interesting (he is the "basic" playmobil pirate) but the piratesse is quite interesting. 
she wears purple and she is joining a very short list of female pirates produced by playmobil.

Congratulations on your latest acquisitions! How is your display cabinet coming along?

thanks gepetto. 
unfortunately "my" carpenter is not as quick as the inventor of pinnochio.
i have seen it almost finished in his workshop a week ago, just needing some final touches.
in portugal this can mean another week or another month, though.
let's hope just another week.

I'd like to have one of these ...

(Because of the lady, as well.)

I don't like this, they're doing with the scrolls: printing at the back. It's good to have some of these, but I hope they don't abandon the original idea of the scroll, which is the klicky to hold it and see what's written/portrayed, at the side turned to him ...

(They've done the same thing with the Roman emperor scroll, printed at the back ...)

Good point Gus, a scroll should be rolled with the writing or map on the inside to protect it.
