at first I thought the fairies in pants were male faries, (FINALLY I thought) but nooooooo. They are also female!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(
When will we have a fairy prince?? A male fairy?? who said they have to be only girls??

 :hmm: I wonder how faries reproduce?  :hmm:




 :P :P :P :P

 :lol: :lol: :lol:

They need to tell Zirndorf that boys want fairies (or elfs/elves) too ...
I refuse to buy a pink boat! :P

( :hmm: )

 ;D


--[edit]--


I'll edit this message, instead of adding a new entry.

I see people speaking so little about the new Special Plus, in this thread ... I like a few of them and, of the series of Specials that there's been lately, I guess this is the one I'll get to buy the geater number of them. (Usually in each series there's only one or two that I "must-have", in this series there's much more than only one or two.)

Here they are, in order of preference:

5295, Persian/Turkish (...) wizard with ghost: :love: perfect set;
5412, timber guy (too bad it isn't a medieval civilian ::) but that's okay ;) );
5408, wolf warrior: not perfect but quite cool :) ;
5293, a green knight: kinda' cool ::) ...;
[5294], architect-engineer (between brackets because not exactly a must-have, but I'll get one, I like it well ... I don't usually buy modern city 8} ).

Maybe I'll buy the little angel and devil too (5411).

(Must say something about red knight and pirate with cannon: they are shamefully ugly  :0 ... The night is another one that looks more like an astronaut than like a knight to me :no: ... Now there seem to be one in each series of Specials, from some time ago :no: what a shame, shame on Zirndorf!)

Others are indifferent to me. I should get one yellow lady, but I know I won't, and that's okay, but she looks okay.

I agree on what was said about the willow tree. I'll probably buy the whole set just for that.

+ I've been wondering about that very clear distiction between girls and boys sets too. Do you think this is what the surveys and customer reactions pointed out: 'girls want pink, boys want weapons'?
I simply hate that idea  :-\

There are now several big sets and even themes that I would definitely go for if they weren't so distinctly 'girllike': the princess castle, the hotel and all its add-ons, the fairy garden...

Well, that's the general trend in toys at least here in the US right now. THere are huge sections in every toy store of nauseatingly girly toys... pink and frilly and glittery and with disney princess faces plastered all over them. I was noticing at Target, even the shelving units are pink on half the aisles, and blue on half the aisles, in their toy sections. In the blue aisles are toys that really could appeal to both genders, like legos and electronic stuff, but every girl is going straight for the pink aisles with polly pocket, bratz, barbies, and princess dresses, plus things that could have appealed to boys, like zhuzhus and littlest pet shop. Seems a crazy thing for toy companies to be doing, severely limiting their markets on both ends. For playmobil, it's especially bad because it is placed on the blue aisles, so they can make girly sets all day long and girls will never see them because they are on the blue shelves. Unless maybe they are hoping to change that. But I don't like the trend at all. I grew up with one brother and no sisters and we played together all the time. Now I think it would be hard for a brother and sister to find anything in common to play with. :-\

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.

I notice now that the Special Plus red and black knight has a long cape and a gorget (neck armour). That's very promising. :) His helmet still seems a bit weird to me though.
