that "grim reaper"looked more like a halloween costume or such, didnt really strike me as THE grim reaper. Unless he got a new wardrobe and a glow in the dark scythe.

I thought it was an undead scarecrow or one made out of a skeleton. It has a floppy hat and a yellow scythe too. That skeleton Special with the black hood looks more like a Grim Reaper than that Fi?ure, but neither look that great.

There was an Executioner (red hood, big axe) AND a Grim Reaper (Black cloak, bright yellow scythe) in Series 1 ! :)

How did I miss this?! He doesn't look quite right either.

Great ideas!

The old lady needs some yarn too!  :lol:

I'm sure the pirate collectors could use more crew members, and I haven't seen any dark-skinned pirates, which is strange because that would be historically appropriate.

I would totally love a dueling gentleman!  :love:

There are some black playmobil pirates, but not many. Personly I'd like to have some. Also more female pirates.

Yeah, they must be few and far between. I've seen some medium-skinned ones, but none in the darkest skin color.

I can see where you guys are coming from re some suggestions for female klickies, but id like more historically accurate things, for a change. The odd female pirate klicky is ok, but cant we have, for the sake of historical accuracy, some pirate-era nose-powdering, heat-fainting, bonnet-wearing women? Same goes for she-gladiators, cowgirls etc.

There were female pirates, gladiators and cowgirls. Playmobil has a severe lack of period commoners and civilians in general. It's not really a gendered thing. There's knights and princesses, but no medieval farmers and tradesmen. We have pirates and sailors but no civilians; In that era, men powdered their noses and fainted also.
A few of the suggestions I made in this thread (e.g. the female knight and the male fairy) are inspired by (non-modern) literature. My other suggestions (female aviator, sultana, etc.) are historically based. I don't like pulling characters from nowhere, but I don't see anything wrong with representing exceptional historically-based characters. We could use some peasantry and tradespeople to fill out period scenes though.
