4678 Musketeer En Garde!
« on: February 02, 2008, 09:08:55 »
There's a second Musketeer figure (Special 4678) due for release (in the UK) in July this year, who will go nicely with the 4627 Musketeer. 4678 being the Cardibal's man, and 4627 the King's man. Neither Musketeer actually has a musket btw.

Does anybody think this might indicate a Musketeer theme in the next few years?

If so, what other figures/sets would you like to see included?

Actually this is the 4th Musketeer (all without muskets)
4551 - Musketier
4565 - Cavalier
4627 - Musketeer
and then this new one.

I still haven't managed to get a 4551 to add to my collection but I have the other two.
I have some trade stuff if anyone has an extra 4551 laying around, it can be out of box but I would want complete.

I plan to buy the new purple musketeer and I also currently have the red musketeer, the cavalier, and the three musketeer add ons.  I don't, however, have the red and blue musketeer and am desperately looking for one. 

It would be nice to see a musketeer line, and it's possible it may happen, although doubtful.  One can use the castle and pirate sets along with them.

Goodness, I hadn't seen all those, due to my years in the Playmobil wilderness.

So if there have now been 4 Specials devoted to this one idea, is a Musketeer theme in the offing, or is it just Playmo being a bit lazy and reproducing the same figure with different colours & printing?

Do the Musketeers fit in with the pirates?

I think many of the pirate items and even the fairy tale castle items work with the musketeers.  Obviously the cannon, weapons, and certain klickies are keeping with the period.

En Garde, is it? ... ;)

Martin, if you are really interested in the Playmobil Musketeers of the Thirty Years War, then click HERE for twenty-one fantastic sets created by Zirndorf's Playmobil artist Ralf Gemein!

Hmmm ...

Thought I'd tease you with one more, Martin ... ;)
(BTW all of Ralf's sets are made from original Playmobil parts, just as they come from the factory.)

I think Ralf's work is fantastic, and I really enjoy seeing custom figures made using all original parts, so I can build them myself.

It shows how really useful the pirate and viking figures are for customising, plus some of the earlier knight theme civilians.

Most of Ralf's 30 Years War men could also appear as English Civil War themed. I'm pretty sure I've seen those too somewhere.

Lace collars, wide-brim hats with feathers, and loads of weapons strapped on...excellent!

Hello, Gepetto ...

Sylvia registered you at GW-PC on 7 January. You should have received a temporary password by email.

Please send Sylvia an email or PM to find out what she used for your temporary password.

I will also send Sylvia an email.

You should be able to see all of Ralf's great customs soon ... :)

All the best,
Richard
