I think I see what you mean, a very versatile figure.

Keep in mind the rickshaw from the Fairies theme, definitely a trend there. If this is going to happen I would be expecting to see some sort of Samurai or Asian figure in the next batch of Specials announced.

When are the next "new" Specials supposed to come out, Tim?

Well the fall ones for 2008 have been seen in the catalogs - the Musketeer and so on - so Spring 2009 would be the next batch. There's usually a new series released in the winter in Germany - that will be the next one to show up in the pre-catalogs, probably around fall time. This year it's the Animal Clinic series that should be out soon, and the year before it was the Dinos. Year before that was the Forest ones - they show a tendency towards animal related sets for this release period for some reason. If I were to guess for an animal related series at that time then maybe an India theme with a full size Asian elephant to go with the new baby elephant - ideally with a howdah, a tiger hunt set, and some other Raja types of things.

Hello, Tim ...

Thanks for the info!

Hmmm ... Playmobil might be able to get away with just changing the ears on their African Elephant ... ;)

However, in the meantime, here are some pictures of Playmobil African elephants that have been pressed into service by an Indian Rajah (or two). These are from the collection of incredible sets created by Playmobil artist Ralf Gemein.

BTW, don't forget ... Ralf uses only original, unpainted and unmodified Playmobil parts as they come from the factory! Which means that ALL of us can make these sets!

The robe legs from the other egyptian combined with the "samurai" top and you practically have a samurai already. In fact, an original parts only samurai is very possible now.

yippee ;D
