Box-backviews of the new pirates' sets

I agree the tattooed guy is awesome!!!

Those cross-shaped openings is what makes them completely ridiculous, IMO.

Yes, that's exactly why I use them with the flames from the handhold-torches. Then you don't see the crosses in the gunmouths and it looks like the cannons are firing.

The pirate klicky in 5136 with the red tricorner and he anchor is awesome!!

That's my favourite one (from those shown)

Thanks for the pictures, Hadoque, and there is certainly a revival of the pirate theme taking place.

The small flames combined with the cannon are certainly effective.

Is it not possible to remove the cross-shaped pieces in the cannon mouths and still use the cannon?

Smart idea of using the tourch flames Hadoque!!

The box-backviews of the 5135 Pirates' ship, 5134 Big Island and 5140 English Vessel are now available on Playmobil's German and Belgian official websites.

I've saved the pics, here they are...


Btw, I got reliable information from someone who has already had the opportunity to hold the 5135-ship in his hands:

* the canon-fakes could be unclipped from the gunports to install proper schip-canons.

* when replacing the fake-guns for canons, the canons have to be installed before screwing the upperdeck on the ship's hull.

* the gap in the front of the 3940-ship is covered solidly on the 5135-version, so no removable lid to access the canons in the bow-compartment. (main reason to install canons there before assembling the deck to the hull - if there still is enough space to do so).

* the cargohold-area in the middle of the ship might also not be accessible, due to the hatches for this area being sealed too... 
I'm waiting for confirmation about weither this is really the case or not.
Additional fact is, of the many pics I've already seen of the ship, none show the ship with opened-up cargohold-hatches...

EDIT: On the website I've looked again at the ship with the 360°-view, and there one of the 2 cargo-hatches is showed open, so if the pic there is representative for production, the cargo-hold should be accessable like on the 3940. Question remains if there is still enough area in the cargohold for placing the midship-canons below deck...

*The captain's cabin is accessible like on the 3940 (US 3286)
