Ghost Pirates
« on: September 10, 2008, 01:49:51 »
Well looks like the Ghost Pirates gets it own theme . The German Playmobil site has been updated and the new items are all there . The 3D is great for checking out the new ship with its new parts .

Very interesting, I'm quite surprised they're treated as a separate theme.

Are these actually available yet, does anyone know? The UK site often has things a month or more before you can actually order them.

I don't think they are as their status at the German site is still "Available mid-December".

Now we get a closer look at the the wolf knights, I'm even keener to get my set.

The tarnished look of their armour is great, and the fact that they've used a different type for each figure will give lots of customising possibilities. I hope the sets aren't too expensive, but I'd guess £4 each for the figure + wolf, and £6 for the catapult guy.

The Masai warrior is definitely going to be a multiple purchase for me, despite his white leopardskin, and the Cossack looks brilliant, the long leather boots + baggy breeches look just right. He's been given both a waist belt and a shoulder belt, and now we can clearly see these are the usual parts and not a combined new part. I can see this figure being useful for multiple customisations too.

The 4684 Special I feel is a bit of a cut & shut, using most of the hamian archer plus a Spanish Morion helmet, but the new scutum might be useful, so I'l probably end up with several of these anyway.

Hey Martin,
Are you sure that this tarnished look you are referring to is intended, or is it an inferior MADE IN CHINA quality problem  ;D?

I can't wait to see what MacGayver will do with that Galleon.

Actually, it would be fun to put one in "dry dock" for awhile and "repair" it.

It would really go well with the new conquistadors.

Lots of really interesting pieces in these sets.  I'm really liking the "crusty" old weapons.

Also the tarnished armor for the wolf knights sets is a very pleasant surprise.  I'll definitely be picking these up for customizing options.

In set # 4800 I am trying to figure out if the weapons have print on them ? I have made the assumption before ( chrome armor in the new crusader ) and was disappointed to find out it was only a enhanced photo. The other sets in the Ghost Pirate theme seem to have just plain weathered dark gray weapons

I think these are plain dark grey weathered too and it's a trick of the angle of the light. Are you lookin at the handle of the Katana, perchance?
I think these weathered weapons are going to prove very popular.
