Helping little girls in my own way, I modified a Playmobil knight package and accessories to make it more diverse. On the left, the knight is a woman (can’t see her braid in the back) who can still wear her helmet should she need to charge into battle. Beside the knight is trusty steed with its full gear (barding and lance). Behind the knight are her retainers (fancy word for employees yet they’d back the knight in battle): a little pegasus, a soldier bearing an axe and shield, another soldier with sword and shield, and a crossbowman to provide cover. Again, the sword wielder was adjusted via a fairy head, hence the big blonde braid down the front.
I think I made a bitchin’ Fantasy set since it’s not historically accurate, c’mon, winged horses aren’t real! Plus the ladies are wearing realistic, appropriate gear, not the more traditional garb designed by Frank Frazetta or Boris Vallejo. Hell, I’d play with these toys, they’re pretty groovy.
If you’d like me to make a set for your kids of any gender, let me know. We can work something out. As you’ve seen in past posts, I tend to work with knights and pirates which are the common genres Playmobil offers.
