i think the arab warrior is one of the best special in the last few years, not sold anymore, but good thing i got my self 50 before ridgeroadstation closed, and at 2.23 or something like that... the design is different, have a white and gray legs, chainmail neck and head, and the white turban and belt... amazing.... the only thing i didnt like was the arms and the long childish halberd...
i do encourage new specials. with accurate designs, maybe not as a special but more oriented as a educative item, historical, maybe with a small bio on the back...
Here they can talk about special character or unit... ejemp, an abraham lincoln, joan of arc, brothers wright, etc... or about civilization, aztec, inca, skimos, hindu, persian, etc... could be a good idea... and about the selling techniques.. humm.. encourage the kids learning, but with both intentions as todays specials. to be wanted by parents, kids, and fans...
i do realize playmobil releases a good special before a new serie, like the viking, roman, egyptian, and maybe asian in a soon future... and that's good, but that maybe too careful... and make us fans to suffer on the way...
also i realize playmobil sees on the competence for their new products... like lego or sleich... ad thats good, i love sleich desings (but they dont smile
) and we maybe able to see things we like from other companies in a near future, like the archer target for example, on the contrary that same philosophy can ruin some new products and orient them to a lego bright color desings... like some of the new knights and pirate theme...
create a collectors department in each country playmobil have a page, and sell collectors oriented specials, sell them only online, 5000 of each as a prototipe, and them maybe get them in the market...
i just ask to hear as collectors, we'll take care of them!!!
