Did anyone notice the "special hair" from the klicky on top  :wave: :wave: :wave:

Yes, but not from these angles. I guess the 360°-view for this set is now available too and this are screen-shots?

I had a look with the 360°-view on the official website this afternoon.
The klicky looked great and has a beautifull uniform-print on the front.  :love:

BUT:
I've noticed by rotating the image that... he is carrying a long pistol in a sideholster like the police-figures fom the Modern-theme!!
In other words: a holster fixed to the body on his right side!  :hissyfit: :hissyfit:  By doing this they messed up such a nice figure!!

Which Redcoat ever carried a sideholster for pistols?!  :wall:

It is a longpistol accurate for the pirates' era, but they were never carried in a holster on the side like a cowboy does.
The holster also is probably not the same one as from a police-klicky, but the clip to hold the holster is not attached to a removable belt, but is fixed to the klicky itself like on a police-klicky, which is the bad thing here.  :(

Pistols yes Alex. But redcoats of that era (officers only) would have carried the pistol tucked into a belt not in a holster.

Or Playmobil could do it right in the first place so we don't have to sacrifice a second klicky to get one good one...

It's just a klicky?  Seriously? On this board?  ::)


@ Hadoque & team, where is this klicky supposed to put his sword when not in use? That's two problems with the figure to balance the new wig.
