That's not a harpoon, but one of those crazy Playmobil fantasy contraptions--

Ie.  That's supposed to be a huge grappling hook that pirates shoot at fortress walls and climb up.

If that were used against whales, it would simply bludgeon them and bound off. 

A harpoon is an actual spear.

maybe you could put a bunch of shrimp on the hooks and go fishing for a whale  ;D
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

As adult collectors, we are legally entitled to not see it from the child's perspective.

C'mon, Arab Warrior, don't go Fidel Castro on us!

We, adult collectors may see it as we like, but if we don't like it........ we can always ignore it.

That is funny, Rasputin. :lol:
I was thinking of a big worm, but shrimp is a better choice.

Happy fishing,
Jimbo

airmobil  :wow: from klickywelt, showed the right (sort of) way to catch sperm whales.  :)
harpoons are needed - with the tips pointing forward!  ;)
maybe there are some spears in the playmobil range that can be adapted to the cannon...
