The princess with the key set makes me think of Bluebeard's wife, lol.

 :o That would be the most inappropriate toy ever! However, the mystery figures' heads do come off very easily. :lol:

What's this about jousting knight bags?  :o

Imho, these are a prelude of a renewal / update of the medieval theme in the 2nd half of 2014,
like the dragon-bags were this year for the Asia-Dragon theme and the fairy-bags were for the fairy-theme.
Also, "somewhere" I've seen images of new small knight-accesories (armour etc.) that aren't available yet in any existing sets.

About what the jousting knights and their horsies from these bags look like;
Quite nice knights with new colours and heraldry (at least for 3 of the 4, there is one that is rather ugly imho).
The horses and their capes though are not 3rd (=latest) generation, but 2nd generation like with the present knight-sets, which is a pitty.

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

Hmm the Jousting Knights bags and the Fair theme sound interesting and a Surfing Santa  :lol: well let's just say I can't wait to see photos at least i guess it's showing a bit of creativity with Santa even if it's perhaps not what most of us were hoping for  8}

so for us the kids and I like pretty much all the new specials and specials plus. We are really glad to get more ghosts and I really like seeing a new clown kid. The only one that is not needed is the girl with pony.

I really like seeing the bunnies Klickies back, It looks like a advent calendar style so that would make getting a lot of them harder.

I personally like all the construction sets that are being made. I really hope the tower crane is able to become taller. If it is RC maybe they did not have to run the power through the tower to the batteries and controls in the base. The big off road end dump is very neat

looking forward to the advent calendar with the dragon. Looks like another adult dwarf

its the 2013/2014 catalog right not the 2nd half of 2014 as that one still says Confidential
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

We haven't seen the second half of 2014 yet. The latest thing we have is the 2014 catalogue for December - July. The email informing us these things were no longer confidential had a hyperlink to what they were referring to, which included pics of the carnival, new coast guard theme, and new animal clinic.

oh, Must not be on that email list and  the confidential was only removed on the other catalog download. The one with those new sets still says confidential at the pcc  8}

The 5477 golden knight, I want to get a few of him and hope they put him in either the special pcc shop or ?

I am not too sure about the other 40th anniversary sets? A kids playhouse on fire w/kid putting out the fire is odd. The knight one will be nice as it has the kid and we always need more medieval kids

The 4784 rock stars guitar looks interesting, all we need now is the base guitar and we will have a proper rock group

The coast guard sets look nice but just a tad small. The only thing missing is how the people got onboard of the 5455 life pod. Perhaps a nice big cruise ship is in order. I find the widow of the 5543 car interesting, is the whole car new or a recycled one?

Now the carnival sets are a great addition to playmobil and so many people have been waiting for something like this. We will get them all and as Tim said, the motor addition will be so great at train shows. Having all those things twirling around will look great. The one that I think "hit the nail on the head" in regards to coloring is the ride on train. I like all the other ones but the pastel colors and rave glitter bling are a turn off to me. The 5466 clown w/balloons is a must at least 12 times. We will add all these to our circus diorama and I am sure it will look great together. The boys will have fun with all the new action.

The bagged sets look great. I want all the knights, even the fantasy red one. The only thing missing is the hood for the horses. It looks odd that they do not have a hood that matches. The 5354 ice girl is cool. I must get lots of that tree. It is perfect for winter scenes, like a santa house.

The new gold transport to me is not the best of playmobil. It was a nice attempt to make a armored car but it just looks too unarmed. In the US armored cars look like mini tanks of vehicles, not converted delivery vans. The swat truck looks like fun but I still think this needs to be a red airport fire truck w/foam. If it had clear windows instead of blue it would look less fantasy-ish

Figures 7 look so recycled. The clown and most of the others look like older klickes and their prints in new configurations. I do want the Nun looking girl many times. It is so frustrating not being able to get enough of the ones I want duplicates of. Something really special the pcc could do is let collectors buy them identified .

would a gangster in a suit w/machine gun be considered "a violent toy"?   :lol:

I kind of like the kids playhouse. It makes me think of maybe a fire safety day activity at school, like maybe the kids are just pretending to put out a fire or something. I think that would be fun for kids in real life, so it's kind of cool.

And I like the gold transport and SWAT vehicles. Chris is dying to get them, for sure. In fact he had already made a custom SWAT vehicle and was thinking about doing an armored car, so it saves him some trouble.

I wish that tank had been leaked before I got the Top Agents one.. The first time we saw it we thought it'd make a great carrier.. and NOW they made one.
