4611 Royal Guard special...old and new...

[Wolf Knight]

I really like these figures, and wish Playmobil would use the Specials series to produce more unusual figures like this, rather than an endless series of variations on knights and pirates (of which I have plenty thank you).

Martin this is indeed a sad case...they are called specials because they are supposed to be something unique.....with so many variations were is the uniqueness? I love getting them in quantities and buildin huge armies but i also want one or two of them to be...well... special!!!!

They look good but they repeat themselves. I the US they have the blister packs (the plastic packs with two klickies) in most of which these specials are repeated. Slowly the same happens here!!! This Teutonic knight (4625) is in the blister pack with the Templar knight...so what is special???

I on the other hand LOVE that pack Wolf Knight.
I am an amature Crusades historian so I love being able to buy those packs and set up Crusading armies.
They are not so specail, but think of what would happen if Playmobil took away all of their "not so special" kights.

Like 7664 black lion knights, and 7768 lion knights, or any other 3 packs.
If they all were special we would not have armies, we would have lots of individual klickies.
And that to me wouldnt be very fun.
