Maybe just to look kind of fancy.

how you gave them all english names?? or you called them so in greek back then and you translated them here?

 

All english names ..... my conquestador captain a bearded klicky was called Aquirre Lopez also from the famous and cult movie ' Aguirre: The wrath of god' ... was very much into movies from a very young age obviously ....

Very nice to read who names his klickys and why.

There were a couple of klicky I named when I was a wee lad. There was the green archer 3337 who was of course Robin Hood, although he had a crossbow and now a long bow. Should have been William Tell of course.

There was 3379, who was Ivanhoe. And the pirate captain was Redbeard and the red pirate was Erik, after the comicbooks.

There is my avatar, Ali Baba. Made a kind of arabian prince and needed a fairy tale name.

I do give klickys nicknames. 4530 is spider witch for example. The monk 3631 is Tuck. 4516 is Peter.

There are lots of cutlass holders for slim klickies in various pirate sets.

but I cant put it on

[playmo1989]

4516 is Peter.

 i remember my friend had always his hero named peter various klickys have passed from him with this name as a charackeristic blond hair the very first one was the servant klicky with blond hair from 3652 http://www.collectobil.com/images/items/3652.jpg and the last was 4516 but i see it was realesed in 2003 we were too old then , so it could have been 4547 http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_gold/robotrobot/pm/4547-m.jpg  which had the same shirt  nice memories!!

(I missed quite a few interesting threads by Heronimus .. If you allow me, I'll dig a few of them up )

Martin does wish to give names to all his Romans (and write it under their wigs). I'm not sure he already accomplished that

I hope to name all or most of the ones I have. (All right, my collection is very small, I'm in around 60-65 (entire) klickys (& a few disassembled parts).)

I have a list with the names of all characters, including those who have, eventually to be disassembled, in order to give me new ones ... (Then I keep two numbers, one of actual klickys and one of number of characters )


Knights & Annis Domini
(1000-1400)

The main characters remain always in action, which are Elmo & Fletcher, and their friends. (Main ones are Feorctegot, Nomy Carrot, Gus, the Sarge Petre, among others, including rivals & enemies.)

Fletcher's troop-mates, Sarge, Lucky and Proudo. Lucky is Bertram's nickname, and Proudo is Ilario. Most all of them have family names as well, and a general lineage trace, specially the nobles, as usual.
The Tapian soldiers are Master Belteszazzar (currently disassembled ), Mark (disassembled ), Luke (former Master Bel), Gus, Mateo & Romeo. (Soon to arrive Gloridan & Glorezel, and a new klicky version of Romeo ) Their leader is Lord Tirio, Elmo's Grandpa.
Their rivals & enemies have names, but I'll mention only the knights: Sir Dildrus, disputing the Tapian crown, and Sir Goren, one allied with the Makedonians (of Rufos Makedonios and his archer, Nikos, they haven't appeared yet. Oh, and there's Rufon, the civilian keeper of the Acz!
I may have forgotten someone.


My Romans are:

Cn. Paruos Erinion, Flavianus, Isidorius and Iustinus,
together with Norsemen, Taodan & prince Fromgar. The Dragon was later named Kranangh, when he flew away to the Degandorf mountains. By the time of the Glamerine's Mirror story, he's known as "Dragon".
There's another Roman, the vilain, he's called Gimildor.

[Gustavo]

&
Pirates,

second main branch of stories, however these I haven't found ways of turning into literature yet ... I'm an awful fellow to write in the Contemporary Age (i.e., after the French Revolution ...)

They are:
Aubrey Carpenter, Joe Cartagena & Gus (Johnson).
Dan Davies, Black Phil (disassembled, to give place to) Jerry Wilhelmsen, Miss Tareja Keychain, Jack Milner, and Italian Bart; this is the party of Dan Davies.
& There be vilains!, Jim Baker, Roy (gave place to) Mr. Spoon, and Manolo Yuyopac.
& others, not part of any of these groups: Doll (whose actual name is Olivia), Ben Scoundrel (Rustysaber) & Donald Milner (Powderbarrel), and Taroq Danga, from distant Sahara. (I may have forgotten someone ...)


 
(The candle goes for Renaissance & Barroque )

There are two Renaissance fellows, Giacommo & Don Fredenando (whose skull is later a companion to Joe Cartagena, and narrator of his stories ...).


 
And there's a couple of characters that I use from medieval to pirates:

Raven, Nardo and Nomy, and Rufon.


Also, I have a few contemporary klickys, a few of them without story ( Hank Tucker, Confederate soldier (because he looks good, in his sideburns ). The only two klickys I have here without names are Union soldiers #1 & #2 ... Who knows in the future I'll do something with them, but I find it very unlikely as stories; only as "playmohistory" portraits ...)

Fred and Masie don't have a story by me, it's a couple of PlaymoFriends' community characters. They interact with Gus, who is, supposedly, the playmo' representative (legal agent & director) of # Gus' Little Theatre Room (see in the PFZ), together with me!

[Gustavo]

(I counted 54, in the two threads above. together with the ones not mentioned, it'll do 59 klickys, and 68 characters in all. Not counting up the two that will arrive ...)

So, up to this day, I can say that pretty much all of my assembled klickys have names. Not too difficult a task all right ...

(Difficult was to make the lineage of Sir Elmo, but I do have this as well, back to the IXth century! -- Call me crazy.)

Anyways, playmobil is a greeeeat excuse for writing stories. (In my case.)

Gus

Good morning dear Friends 

I forgot to mention that apart from Mr & Mrs Macclesfield which are very dear to me as I named them back in 1990 when I purchased my first collection, and of course the leading characters of my Victorian Tales, my other Klickies are anonymous but still very happy 

Karim

(Oh, I have quite a few characters of the old collection, that is gone ... Better not mention them here. People must already be tired of my long list of characters They aren't a great number of klickys but they are a pretty big number of names ...)

[Andy R]

Generally, yes. There are some that I name as a group, but many are named as individuals…
