4659 Roman Fighter, What colour?

[Sir Gareth]

Hi all,

Has anybody else out there got the new Roman special 4659?

I just got 1 the other day in my Playmobil order and just opened it tonight (whilst waiting for the cats to come in) and noticed that the printed body colour is different to that shown on the box front. The one I have has a brown printed body and the box shows a much darker colour not black but a very dark blue so what colour are your 4659's ?

[Hadoque]

Mine are like yours; brown printing on the upperbody. The box' image indeed shows a different, darker colour. It's everywhere like this, the subject was also discussed on the German forum...

[Sir Gareth]

Thanks for the reply Hadoque,

I wonder if Playmobil will alter the box images on this set to match the contents, therefore giving us 2 versions of this set.

Any excuse to buy more Playmobil.

I have one, was lucky to get it. Why are they so slow to distribute that in the US I wonder? I really like the 4659, and want to get several more.

I've only seen the ones with brown prints so far too. Didn't even notice that they were supposed to be a darker colour, according to the box photo. 
You are very observant, Garry.
