The Playmobil Romans are here at last.
Those of you looking for these should start to see them in your areas now. So far only small sets, but with any luck the bigger sets are on their way.
Found tonight at the Target store in Burbank:
Gladiator & Lion set
Gladiator & Chariot set
And...
Gladiator & "Policeman" set (at least that's how it rang up at the register)
The Gladiator looks pretty good, armed with trident & net and wearing a very imaginative helmet. As for the "policeman" he has the look of a Hollywood Roman with red cape, gladius, red oval shield and a helmet with a red crest. Perhaps he is supposed to be a Praetorian Guard. :?
The average price is $1.50 per figure -- at that rate putting together an entire legion could prove to be a rather expensive proposition.
Perhaps a Century is more in keeping with my rather humble military budget...
