Well this came last week and it finally completes my Merry Men/Woodland series. I buy MISB sets but i'm a firm believer that those klickies should be set free and see daylight!
"Don't worry dear brothers, liberty is almost here."
"This is probably why i never became a franciscan. Mmmm wild boar."
"Fret ye not my fellow woodland brothers, from out of the darkness comes the light."
The hunting party has assembled.
" Count yourselves lucky this set is not 5344. Because that is no pet stand!"
"Come let us join our fellow bretheren and imbibe some good godly ales. My dear boy, be careful with that spear."
The merry men await the arrival of the hunters. The Rasputin family have came all the way from mother Russia to see 3628.
"Hands up who wants a beer?"
"Remember dear brothers and sisters, a klicky is for life. Set them free from their cardboard purgatory."
Sorry got carried away there
.
For my mind this is Playmobil at its zenith. Everything is here in this set, the hooded falcon and glove, the peasant, the hunter and the nobleman all round out a small but yet perfect world. The moulding of the clothing and colour choice is first rate. This woodland subset is an absolute must have for any castle and is sadly missing in todays castle sets. I wish they could make more of this stuff. Anyway, i apologise for the picture quality and hope to post some more in the next few weeks.
