He is! Atalanta, Hercules, Jason and Orpheus are included in the set.

A shame she is a speedo :(

Still , lots of beautiful klickys  :love:

Was it any better when the PCC was still up and running?

When it was actually still functioning, yes. Not that they actually KNEW everything (gods know why), but at least they answered us.



Kai Jal Inustries Ltd., according to the small print. A Hong Kong firm which has produced quite a few PM-lookalikes (search Google Images for Kai Jal).

GAH. Now I want that. Why? No idea.  :P

I want one of those Trojan Horses too! But none showed up on eBay.co.uk, luckily for my wallet.....

In the present context I assume "Barbies" is short for Barbarians  8-)

 :lol:

And apparently, there's a Greek God of sports footwear called Nike  8}

Ditto. I am sure I saw the "figures", maybe in a chinese store?

For the interested :
https://www.todocoleccion.net/videojuegos-y-consolas/trojan-horse-castle-playset-juguete-tipo-playmovil-completo~x188695478

Thanks. I have no idea how to buy in that place... will try to ask shipping. Also, have no idea if it's like ebay, or a jungle like the ads sites.

(I love it when people write as they speak - "playmovil")

I haven't spotted one single new part

I had another (and closer) look at the pics of the new Pirates´ sets for 2020. No new parts there either...  ::)

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

This is amazing, really. Like the "sauna woman" figure, it proves they can do SO SO MUCH with existing stuff.

Finally!
throughout the PCC's short existence I and many others asked for mythological sets and finally here there are.
Really looking forward to this theme even if it's still far away.

Headline's a bit oversold - they're referring to the Achilles and Patroclus figures in the new Greek myths theme. In other words this set isn't being introduced because of homosexuality, but because of Greekness.
