Barbarian fur cloak
« on: July 17, 2008, 12:26:03 »
A brand new design for a fur cloak has turned up in the new July Specials. Here is what you get in the new Barbarian Special. Should make a fine addition to other cloaks already available  :yup: . So the Gauls, Vikings and the other uncivilized nations won't run out of fashionable garments.

I hope that Tomplay doesn't mind me posting this here as it's part of his picture.

Hey, Tom, would you mind adding the complete picture here as well?
I didn't dare do it.  :-[

PS: I only feel empathic with the poor mammoths. No wonder they disappeared so quickly from the face of the Earth when it turned out what you could make from their skins.

Thank you very much Simon and Tom!

GREAT photos, Tom!

The new gloves (with fingers) for the Musketeer are rather interesting.

And ...

This "woolly mammoth" cloak and helmet appears to be something that some Playmobil western fans might also want to use with their Indians (Native Americans) ...

Hmmm ... Is that barbarian wearing the medicine man's buffalo headdress?

I am starting to not like the deceptive picture enhancements Playmobil is now using . It the picture from playmobil it would appear the horns on the headdress are chromed . The same thing happened with the new crusader knight . When i saw the pictures it looked like he was chrome . >:(
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:

I can see what you mean; but to be honest, I thought they would be the same colour as the sword.

But that's just me.

BTW - I think the coat opens loads of possibilities! I definitly need more than one of the Barbarian Special!

These specials were available from Playmobil UK for the first time on Friday, so I ordered 3 or each of the new ones.

I don't like the crazy colour schemes - blue boots? Pink boots? It's a shame the earth tones of the shield, belt, hat (hood?) and cloak couldn't be carried through. I didn't buy the Archer because of his stripey t-shirt, and although I am buying these, I'd have preferred more realistic colours.
