Am I right that it looks like the same torso hat and trousers as the Fi?ure and the same collar as the original/reissued one, and the cuffs deleted? If so I have no interest in the klicky and only desire the sentry box. I'll stand ebay watch until a cheap one turns up (perhaps within a decade or so).

Given that modern guardsmen carry L85s, they should swap out that bolt action rifle for one of the new cop/gangster machine guns.

I'd like a couple sentry boxes, as well - already have guards.

I like the sentry box too - duh, brown - but not planning to get the set.. We have cut our guards already, and really don't need more. Besides, can't really use the thing for an "ancient" setting.. and we do have others...

If somebody gets it, please let me know what it looks like in hand. Thanks!

Stonewall Jackson and IKEAMA at Klickywelt got their hands on it first. Their investigations revealed that the white interior is a folded piece of paper. I did not expect that. Cunning work, Playmobil!  :hatoff:

Stonewall Jackson's pictures documenting the discovery are posted here: http://www.klickywelt.de/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=62264/.

Even worse : no red stripe on the trousers either.  :hmm:

Hmmmmmm.... it seems that I may be the only one who wants the actual guard and not the sentry box....  Though having both would work well for a diorama that I have in mind.  Hmmmmm
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)
