PM Heraldry

[Gis]

I was wondering if someone has taken the time to do a complete list of the playmobil Heraldry?

I was wondering if someone has taken the time to do a complete list of the playmobil Heraldry?

You mean the coat of arms symbols on shield right? I think i have most of them (if not all) but never thought of doing a list...good challenge!!! I could start doing it!!!

Basically yes, but in theory it isn't necesary to be on a shield.

But yes I was wondering if there is a comprehensive list of all the PM Coat of Arms.

Would be great if you are willing to do that.

Thanks a lot :-)

Ok so i took a few pictures of my knights from all the factions i have... (i was not sure how to do this  ...hope you enjoy it and you find it helpfull if someone wants me to take a picture of a single shield or flag please let me know!!! )

I think the first piece of PM heraldry can be found in these early knight's shilelds! Its the cross.


and then we have the Nuremburg guards, the yellow unicorn knight, the red gryphon knight, and this guard from 3379 whose shield has a gryphon (i guess ) but with a crowned female head!

[Wolf Knight]

then we have, what i consder to be the three major groups of knights in the Playmobil universe...

The royal knights... (fluer de lis and crowns on red/blue background), the Tower shield (resembling the Zirndorf coat of arms) and the Black Lion (resembling another city's coat of arms but cannot remeber whose...) looking to the left.


Three more dominant groups in the PM universe is the White Swan, the Black Lion (again...but looking to the right) with red and white stripes and the Black Lion (yet again...looking to the right)on a yellow background in yellow and black stripes...

[Wolf Knight]

then we have various Easter eggs and specials!!!

[Wolf Knight]

I consider these next four factions to be bad guys...The Black Serpent Dragon, the Red Wolf, the Chess Shield (as i like to call it) and the Golden Dragon...


And now what for me are ''balance to the force'' factions, the Green Dragons (two shields...and a third one can be found in 4586 special) the Unicorn Knights, and the Double Axe Force (my personal all time favourite, its the knight that brought me back to playmobil)...

[Wolf Knight]

Here are my final knights for this project...(apart from the golden one who is in storage but his shield is similar to the lion knight's shield on the second picture of this post) and the spare shields I could dig out...







I am sure I am missing a few, but not sure which ones...definately the ones in the sets that are produced in the US, or variations of the ones I have posted in different shapes...

I hope this was not boring and that all can see these pictures!!!

Let me know of any i missed (i am now thinking of two...) and if you need another image of any one of them!!!

OK, guys, let me be the first to tell you that you are in for a treat!  There are 2, count 'em 2, fabulous websites dealing with Playmobil heraldry.

The older one first, put together by David Donachie:  Playmobil Armoury

The second, a beautifully organized collection by our own Tiermann, who put together the amazing Animobil website:
Shields and Heraldry at Animobil.info

Enjoy!!!

Well I am loving it at least Wolf Knight!

Thanks a lot for this!
