a new exclusive set: albrecht dürer
« on: May 20, 2011, 15:06:00 »
There will be a new exhibition in the german national museum in nuernberg on the early work of Albrecht Dürer. And I am writing this here because they decided to have a playmobil Duerer as being their maskot. And this maskot is just fantastic.

See this german news article for a picture of the new exclusive set.  :love:

enjoy,
socrates

That's a fantastic figure. The show isn't for a full year yet so I wouldn't expect to see them available for a while yet I guess.

An interesting new direction for Playmobil.  I know they've made figures especially for exhibitions before but I think this is the first of an actual person

Hum... I was full excitement when reading the thread-title :yippee:

...but when I look at the klicky...I don't find it good...I know Albrecht Dürer but making the klicky look like on the portrait, made the resulting figure quite bizar IMO.... :(

For example the prints on his arms look strangly modern and not historical, they used a BROWN CHAINMAIL-hairpiece  ??? ...also the hat looks weird and I can't see much use for it on other klickies without a repaint.  

Sorry for spoiling the fun  :-[

Gordon, this is not quite true. They already did the 4906 Goetz von Berlichingen  klicky for the same museum I guess, and they did the 6100  Elisabeth klicky for a musical.

So, there are at least two examples when they already did persons. :)
(if we do not count in holy persons like the nativity setup or knight christopherus or st.martin  :P)

 :lol:
for me it was the opposite, I found it very clever to use the chainmail as a dürer haircut.
and to be honest, without the portrait it is difficult to identify the klicky as dürer as he is not that prominent, I guess.  ???

I find the PORTRAIT really good, that's a must have!  :love:  ;D
I'll try to get my hands on this set, but surely Dürer himself will get other arms, a different coat and hairpiece!
