Suggesting Specials

[Baron Marshall]

personally i would like PM to switch all new figures to the mystery figures design.. so that they were all interchangeable.. I think that would do more to increase appeal to kids than these weird colors will 

Working on a few ideas... will post, but should we put them here or should we make a thread over in the customs for the embodiment of ideas presented here?

hmmm..... what about famous people ?

Hubby and I were just brainstorming about famous women, and came up with a few candidates for PM Specials.

-Joan of Arc
-Helen Keller
-Anne Frank
-Betsy Ross
-Indira Gandhi
-Pocahontas
-Mother Teresa
-Madame Curie
-Maureen Connolly Brinker
-Beverly Sills
-Elizabeth Taylor
-Jackie Kennedy
-Margaret Thatcher

We are assuming that they cannot be alive due to licensing restrictions. Is that correct?
Cheers, Pgal

Margaret Thatcher is a joke, right? 
There are at least three women I don't know in your list. Helen Keller? Is that the girl that was born deaf, blind and mute? Can you tell who MCB and BS are, please? Sorry if I look like a caveman not knowing about these people…
Best,

I would like a dedicated crusaders theme ... with crusaders, a proper crusades-era ship, a fortress maybe, muslims and so on.

Same here...I don't know those three.

[Bolingbroke]

Yeah - sorry. I realised afterwards.

 

The best specials - for me - are those that are somewhat 'peripheral' to a theme. For example - the native scout in the western series, or the executioner in the medieval series ... or something like that.

We have too many knights: every new wave of specials brings us yet another tired knight (I see that we have more of the same zzzz in 2012). Why don't they give us civilian specials, for eg? We have been crying for those for a long long time.

Another example which springs to mind was the gladiator special of some years back. There were already 4 or 5 gladiators in the arena set, so the special one was redundant. Would have been much better to give us a Roman civilian as a special. See what I mean?

Bolingbroke there are already three crusader Specials! Ain't that enough???
And I disagree with you about new knights, read below. Never enough knights, I say!

OK, my turn! I want an ancient Greece Special! Or maybe two: one Spartan and one Trojan. Oh! And a Normand fighter too! Like this one: http://genealogie.demeautis.free.fr/ressources_images/ressource_106/soldat_normand.gif
And any new knight with a new helmet, too (with crest, if possible).
Sorry, it's a wishlist here, right?
