Gulliver would have to be a SUPER DUPER SPECIAL  ... Large figure... but 30 inches would do I think... I would buy him.... or many of him...  ;D

A bit off topic, but do any of you think that PM is going to discontinue the Special line? I see no new specials for 2012...

yes I think the Special line is done, but will be replaced by the Special Plus until that line runs its course... but I think most of what we are discussing could easily be incorporated into either the Special Plus or the Fi?ures, which are the heir apparent to the Specials.

Yeah, that's my thought, also. I am not really happy with the Fi?ures line, though. :(

On one hand, they do have limitations, but on the other hand... the Specials weren't really that special anymore anyway... and the Fi?ures do allow Playmo to introduce a lot of parts and sets with limited markets on their own, as the mystery aspect of the line will ensure that they don't get stuck with a bunch of unsold weird figures nobody wants... on the other hand, the stores  will get stuck with a LOT of less desirable characters... but again on the other hand... at least so far... they have a wide variety in the Fi?ures...


Special Plus Idea - Tevya with milk cart  :lol:

I'd like to see a Scotsman with formal kilt and bagpipes...



but I'd also like to see a more casually dress Scotsman in a kilt; like this...

Cool! Lovely costume!
My only worry is, is that costume to intricate for Playmobil? :eh?: :eh?: :eh?:
