Rasputin,

Have you actually seen these new blisters at Target or are these someone else's photos?

I hope this is not like those Santa Claus/Elf blisters that never quite materialized. :crossed:

They are somebody else's pics form Playmoboard named Jeff ( Northern VA ) . Our local Target has now clearanced the stuff they did not want ( pirate Box $20 ) and the rest went to its new location . The New location was downsized, but if i remember correctly this is common after the new year . The spot had all the Blisters on hangers, about 6  and shelf space below for about 4 or 5 sets ( nothing new ). The east coast and central US get them first as they are closer to New Jersey and we get them a month or two later . The santa blisters never came to our targets but our local brick and mortar shop had them for 50¢  more .

Our target Playmobil sales did well again and very little is left . Out Toys R Us has a lot of sets left and i am hopping they get discounted soon . I was a bit disappointed that it did not sell as well as needed as TRU was giving Playmobil so much shelf space and a center display for the circus.  TRU seems to get a different client-el in our area so it is not surprising , just disappointing .

Oh Wow!  The Manchu prince and the Chinese merchant in black have been re-released!  I've been waiting for these.  But, you say, Ras, you haven't seen them at your local Target?  Maybe I'll hold off running to the store...

and that katana is a much sought after item.

Nihonto (Japanese sword) may be the more accurate term.

Considering the sword could very well be depicting an Odachi.  Can we demonstrate that the length of the blade is not greater than 3 shaku (about one meter)?  Otherwise the sword is definitely odachi.

Heh, joking. 

I'm still waiting for PM to release its Ninja Family.

Edit:
Why does PM's "Japanese ninja" wear a chinese jacket and red boots?  Japanese dress tended not to fasten at the shoulder like that.  And, why the Fu Manchu mustache?  Where's the hood for the ninja?

Answer: it's not a ninja...

Maybe a Chinese kung fu teacher...

You know tim that is the first thing my wife asked also ( where is the Ninja Hood ) So i guess calling him a Kung Fu Warrior or teacher is more accurate 

But just to tick you, lets keep calling him a Ninja and then Playmobil will make a whole bunch of them ( Ninja Families )  :P

Our Target has rearranged their shelves this way also, the blisters are higher and they will be able to display more at a time, I wonder if they will focus more on these now that they don't need the shelf space.

I do not know what to think of the Vikings or the police/fire Blisters. The vikings could have been an old special and have had some great customizing parts like the 4519, 4599, or the 4540. Their parts and colors are just so much more useful than this Purple get up this guy has on or his wolf clan looking mate.

The Fireman looks like the new US version and does not fit anything i have ( especially since i returned the US truck ) . I guess he is similar to the one of the older ones except he has on that new colored jacket on. He did not even get any fire equipment ( a fire extinguisher or something ) .  The police man i just can not figure out his attire from the picture . It looks like he has a dark blue shirt with a light blue tee shirt then black pants and what is that on his groin area ? It makes his legs look shorter than they are .

The Asians i am more than happy about and will be getting a lot of ( others are already asking me to ship them overseas ) and the Knights have a lot of great potential as they are and for the parts so i guess 2 good and 2 ok strange ones is a wash for the new blisters

The fireman has a bullhorn and a traffic flag and I think that is supposed to be a belt on the policeman. I also agree with you as far as the other figures are concerned (purple, ugh), I just hope they come out soon.
