Can I call this the best BLISTER ever produced??

[WarriorOfToys]

I think it wouldve been disappointing for the children had PM made vikings without the horns - still, it's easy to give them more accurate helmets yourself.

Yeah, that's true.

[Martin Milner]

I like Vikings!
But I didnt like Playmobil's very much...

The reason being?

They had horns on their helmets.
Isn't Playmobil supposed to be an educational toy?
Everyone (who cares to even think of looking more into the Vikings) will now that that is just a myth.
Unfortunately the common belief is that Vikings had horns on their helmets,
And nothing will probably change that...
Until slowly but surly those of us who do know spread the word.

DEATH TO THE HORNED VIKINGS!

You used a horned viking smiley! You are guilty of spreading the misinformation!

Suppose so...
But there is probably no non-horned Viking smiley.

I can't really fault Playmobil for giving the Vikings horns.

Hi

As collector/customizer of pirates & soldiers, to me this is indeed the best blister (not set!) Playmobil released (will release) sofar.
Indeed it would have been better if both figures were sold seperately.

But the Redcoat is really  , his torso is new and the hat is great.
The pirate's upperbody is also new and is very nice  , from what I can see from the pics. 

 I'll try to buy 11 - 21 of them, depending on my budget.
(uneven numbers: 10 or 20 soldiers + 1 officer).

Okay, I'll have too many of the pirates but I think he's really good for customizing. The yellow "egyptian" shirt-sleeves (only seen - at least with caucasian arms  - in white sofar in 2 sets: US exclusive 5865 and the European/US Pirate Tower 4776) can be used on other pirates or medieval klickies with such yellow shirts. The legs can be used for other pirates or sailors, like the hairpiece which is also very suitable for soldiers (non-officers). And you can allways trade him, sell 'm or whatever...

I might not order the set,
But I will try to order the redcoat figure from Playmobil DS
And I will use him as my Line Infantry in my Napoleonic army! (to be produced... soon-ish... )
But my hopes are a little higher... I want to make 2 regiments of them:
24 men per regiment (including captain and flag bearer), 48 men total!

Ah?! Can klickies from Blisters be ordered at DS?
There aren't part(klicky)-numbers included...

If that's possible, I might do the same as you. Would make a larger force (regiment) a lot easier to achieve.

[Bolingbroke]

You might've a point Hadoque. Those egyptian sleeves would certainly look good on Ottoman warriors.

I don't know if it is possible...
But USA DS offers to tell you any part numbers
So long as you know the set number and can describe the figure/part.
That is how I got the part number for the Roman Auxiliary Special.

So here's hoping it does!

I haven't seen the redcoat's legs before.

I haven't read all the thread, so, maybe someone spoke this before, if so, sorry for the redundunt post.

The legs were used in the conquistadors released as "Pirates", only, in yellow&black.
