So cool you like the third pic as much as i do !
there are a lot of references to characters like "räuber hotzenplotz" in the playmobil sets from the 90s for example . these are characters from otfried preussler that every kid in germany had as book or on tape cassette as audio drama. the drawings of räuber hotzenplotz in the children books look exactly like the medieval robbers from the playmo sets. they are very famous over here and stories like this must have influenced the creators of these playmobil sets. the custom i made is made in the same spirit. just google "räuber hotzenplotz" and look at the pics you find - this spirit is also in the hole medieval sets from playmobil - in my opinion. there is a "gendarm" ( medieval police officer ) some robbers ( räuber hotzenplotz ) and the different medieval town habitants and so on. i have to say that the term "medieval" is not 100% historical correct but who cares...
