It has been a while :-[ ::) however I am back and the first thing I noticed...
is there really no thread about the 2012 novelties yet? Or have I simply missed it?
Well in any case here are some interesting links, in case they were posted somewhere else, please feel free to delete them, otherwise enjoy!
Playmobil on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.175738575864454.31783.119512978153681&type=1

and finally pictures (of the new western products) on the german Playmobil site: http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=Western

Too good to be true. I will actually belive it only when it is available. I hope there will be enough success so that further and new sets will be released during very next time. But very good for a start already. And at least the Western theme is back. :o
-
It's great that the western theme is back, there is a lot of cool stuff there. :)
But the thing that has got me really fired up is this thread at PlaymoFriends:

Playmobil has produced a DWARF figure! ;D ;D ;D
I cannot wait for that. ;)
-
I too am thrilled to see the Western theme revived, although I was really hoping for a Southwestern architectural emphasis with adobe buildings. This would be useful for the Roman, Egyptian, and Pirate themes too. The log fort idea is getting a bit tiresome and has been done better before.
-
thanks Flash! Thanks WoT! (I've been busy and now quite lost :P)

Thanks to Ace@PF. I took the liberty to remove the shadows of Mordor from Gimli a bit. ;D
-
Thanks for clearing up that picture HM! :)
-
I want to oversiᵶed clickies; ¿What are they, 4 feet?
-
I guess this one from fi?ures2 is supposed to be an orc.
-
WOW! That is a great idea HM! :o
Arg! I am gonna spend so much money on season 3 figures! ;D ;D ;D
(His actual shield isn't bad either.) :)
-
(His actual shield isn't bad either.) :)
Orcish enough. :D
-
Yeah, I will definitely make a band of orcs out of these guys...
Enough to fight my dwarves! :D
-
They have Gondor too.
-
Yeah I have picked up on that already. ;D
I have a Gondor custom somewhere...
(http://i1217.photobucket.com/albums/dd389/WarriorOfToys/Gondor.jpg)
I would definitely switch out the arms for the style in your picture there, but again, in silver.
I think I already looked at the helm style in the picture too and decided to go with the barbuta helm,
But if the dwarves are using the barbuta style helm
I think I would switch Gondor's helmsto the one in your photo.

Really good.

I'll copy this. ;D

No 4577. :'(
-
Really good.

I would love to see your Gondorians.
I am working on Rohan too.
-
A gondorian. In fact he is customized while our discourse was more about what ready made middle earth people geobra is or will be offering. ::)
Nevertheless: ;D
I still think that this helmet is the most appropriate.
- legs, torso, belt and sword: the orc from fi?ures 2
- arm armour, facial hair, and shield: http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5886 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5886)
- lance: from http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5911 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5911)
- helmet: e.g. from http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=7772 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=7772)
- Arms, head, and hair: from some old knight
-
Very nice! :)
Your figure is quite close to the real Gondorian infantry, especially the legs.
I think the new series 2 figs might be great for Orcs and Men. ;D
But I think the Roman tower shields, or the Egyptian shields might be a better fit.
And your original helmet idea seems closer...
-
...
I am working on Rohan too.
Also, I stumbled across this (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-63-9192) while looking at some shield designs...
Talk about ready made middle earth pieces.
-

The one here has such a nice white tree design. ;)
And your original helmet idea seems closer...
As to the shape I think it is alright although being a bit flattened. The other with horse hair I would take for rohan. I'll bring along a picture of that combination later. :)
-
...

That is true, it does look nice. :)
I would try to remove the eye though.
I cannot wait to see your other figures!
-
with rohan helmet without horse tail
-
maybe this one too but I think it looks too elvish or too fantasy
-
this might be put on the upcoming dwarf. I find it misshaped but for a dwarf it might work, esp if we want to avoid using the same helmet type on different middle earth people.
-
The dragon helm does look very elvish.
I think if they have it in gold (or black) that would be great for an elvish faction. 8)
Also, I like your idea for the dwarven helm.
It seems to fit nicely with that theme.
As for giving all factions of middle earth different helms,
I don't think that is strictly necessary.
There seems to be a bit of mixing with arms and armor in the stories and the movies.
Plus Rohan uses the ocular helms the most.
-
By the way I took your photo of the orc and made this for you. ;)
-
Thank you very much. :)
I am personally with the orcs. They are not as evil as it seems. ;) Read the true story of the last ringbearer here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Ringbearer). There (http://www.scribd.com/doc/49566845/The-Last-Ring-bearer) is an english translation.
-
A dwarf
-
Something useful for the red hair of the blister pyrate. I do not claim that this is my idea or that not someone somewhere had it long before me. :-\
-
A rohir. I had more the horse tail in mind than the face guard but both features can be combined with only a little drilling. (Again no claim for originality.)
-
They are all very nice! :)
I had forgotten about the scale armor,
it looks excellent on your rider of Rohan.
That helm works for me. ;D
What Pirate hair was used for your dwarf?
Does it fit with chain-mail?? :o
-
Here is a version of a Rider of Rohan.
The new cavalry harness from 4868 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4868) set is amazing, the detail is beautiful.
-

I cut the tail and put it underneath the chainmail. So it does fit but it would not follow head movements. I am considering glueing. Maybe ... ::)
That hair is from http://playmodb.org/setpics/4127.jpg (http://playmodb.org/setpics/4127.jpg). I have quite a lot because there's always a red haired pyrate in tow of the really useful redcoat.

- Theoden? I really like him and the wooden shield. :o
- I was looking for such a harness just this morning. :P
-
Errrm ... back on topic:
- There are serious rumors in KW that the 'new' 5580 DS-hussards will have new horses, legs and bodies. My guess: https://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=678.msg14319#msg14319 (https://gardenwargaming.playclicks.com/forum/index.php?topic=678.msg14319#msg14319) ;D
- The museum will probably be without small parts, just the steck.

No, Theoden has golden armor, much closer to Plate.
The shield I got from Arnaud. :)
The Hussars would be really great to have. :)

Agreed. I meant that it would be better if possible not to use the same helmet very often. :)

I see. He seemed to me the only one of them to be clad in red. After all 'It lies in the images that are conjured up in children's minds.' to cite HOB. :D
Actually the armour of the already mentioned 4810 rondorian (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4810http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4810) would do the job here.

Most definitely. :)

This relates to Playmobil, I promise! ;D
If you hasn't already, all lotr fans should watch this!
Just one more thing you could do with the new dwarf figure... ;)
