5125 - Farm Dogs

[Tiermann]

Continuing on with my farm reviews here is the dog set.
It has the basics with a dog house, leash, bone, dish as accessories

[Tiermann]

Here is the dog compared with two other similar styles. It is much bigger than many in the past have been. I think this looks forward to the breeds sets that will be coming out this next year.

Here are the puppies. Also new molds these are a little more curvy than the last ones as you see here.

Here is the dog house, it's a very different style from the previous ones



Here it's compared with previous dog houses



You can see it's much larger

[Tiermann]

The reason is obvious when you put the dog in them





I don't know what the great dane is going to do for a house, maybe he will just use the people one

Overall I like this set pretty well. The new dog is a good one I think. The puppies are ok but not any great improvement over the previous ones.

They sure look good, but I am not sure about the eyes... I preferd the dots in them, like the puppy you are showing in the comparison pic, Tim.

Thanks for the pics!

Am I the only one who finds it silly that the adult dog has a leash and the puppies don't? If they're old enough to be about, most puppies need a leash A LOT MORE than a (well behaved) adult dog....  (yes, I'm crazy, this ocurred to me on the bus on the way...)

The dotted eyes make these dogs/puppies look far more realistic and sweet. The bigger dog with the different colour in the eyes and nose , look like a ghost  more scary than a sweet puppy should be , something the dotted eyes ensure i think. playmobil gets it so wrong with eyes in animals all the time !!!!! Most animals look so fake etc !!!!

I really like the new puppies, I think they are greatly improved over the old ones! And love the new dog, too. Thanks for the great review, Tim.
