From those hi-res pictures, I see that they'll bring back the muscle arms from the Figures series.
A bit disappointed that the cyclops doesn't have a newly sculpted head instead of a painted eye on the regular troll, but it's cool.

70467, The 12 Labours of Hercules seems to include only seven!

Wikipedia lists the Labours as

1. Slay the Nemean lion. (Included)
2. Slay the nine-headed Lernaean Hydra. (Number of heads varies between versions of the story, PM has a 3-headed Hydra)
3. Capture the Ceryneian Hind. (Included, but it should have brass hooves)
4. Capture the Erymanthian Boar. (Included)
5. Clean the Augean stables in a single day.
6. Slay the Stymphalian birds. (One included)
7. Capture the Cretan Bull. (Included, though it was white in some versions of the story)
8. Steal the Mares of Diomedes.
9. Obtain the girdle of Hippolyta, queen of the Amazons.
10. Obtain the cattle of the three-bodied giant Geryon.
11. Steal three of the golden apples of the Hesperides.(Included)
12. Capture and bring back Cerberus.

So, to complete the set, you will need horses, cows, a 3-headed dog, a girdle and lots of brown chocolate!

So, murder and steal... great.  ::)

Ok, and clean the stables. That one is positive, at least.

A 3-headed dog would be amazing... A playmobil customized Harry Potter world needs one too  ;D
(Note: I mean "Fluffy", the greatest name a 3-headed dog could ever get  :lol: )

Funnily enough that's also what you need for an enjoyable Saturday night!


I note that Odysseus and Hercules appear twice, and both iterations of each look identical, so I will be leaving one set of each unopened. The Circe set and the Argo will relinquish their klickies, but the Twelve Labours (Short Version) and Cyclops will remain closed for posterity!

Are the amclicks ones not hi-res enough for you? http://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-playmobil/nueva-serie-de-mitologia-griega-para-septiembre-de-2020/

I failed to notice those had been updated – thanks, Macruran! Achilles's armour looks promising – Patroclus too if the helmet is proper black.

Funnily enough that's also what you need for an enjoyable Saturday night!

Thanks for the reference, Macruran. So that I could see that they fixed the Cyclops' head by means of printing :-[

To be clear, Graham was the first to post the amclicks link:

Tiersammler kindly sent me this link, which has better picture:
http://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-play ... /#msg48826

The link is broken for some reason though (why?), so I went to amclicks and looked it up again. So the real credit as usual goes to

I like the sentiment, Macruran. You are aware that all high resolution images can be accessed with this link?
