Contributions - Pictures / Kingsland

« Last post by JLMatterer on March 15, 2016, 02:29:11 AM »

Thanks to the TRU BOGO 40% off sale combined with the clearance sale, I was able to get all the sets for the Super 4 Kingsland. I only need to get 4 additional sets to have the entire Super 4 series, which isn't something I had actually thought about doing; it just happened. Kingsland will be a good mix with the medieval world I am creating. Awaiting to be opened up next is the pirate cave & fort.

She also seems to not realize that, even if this were a freed slave, pirate crews in history would be made up of such people. People should give Geobra a break when trying to make a remotely historically accurate children's toy.

General / EDITORIAL - "RACIST PLAYMOBIL"

« Last post by Richard on October 13, 2015, 06:40:44 AM »

12 October 2015
In the news ... A Playmobil pirate has become the center of discussion.
Playmobil Pirate Ship 5135 seems to have a pirate with a "metal" collar as an accessory.
Ida Lockett says it's a "slave collar". And, this California mother doesn't want her 5 year old son playing with it.
The NAACP has demanded that all of these "racist" Playmobil sets should be removed immediately.
Too bad no one seems to know their history or even know the Playmobil product very well.
First, is the metal collar. During this period both leather and metal collars were worn as neck protection!
A deadly blow to the neck with a cutlass could certainly ruin a pirate's day.
Second, the color of the Playmobil pirate figure is not the color used for the typical African Playmobil figure.
Playmobil uses the light brown figure for beach goers with a tan, native Americans and ancient Egyptians.
Apparently, Ida needs to do her homework and find something else to complain about.

Ralf,

Thank you for continuing to post your wonderful creations here at GW-PC !!!

Your latest "Tricorne Period" figures really capture the flavour of the period.

They look like a couple of wealthy merchants or aristocrats who are just about to go to the local pub for a pint!

Thanks again, my friend,
Richard
