Ghosts + Pirates = As Good as it Gets

As a fairly jaded toy collector, there really aren't many times when I'm likely to be out-and-out stunned by a concept, but once again, Playmobil has managed to completely amaze me.

Playmobil - Ghost Pirates

A while back I had picked up the "special" boxed Playmobil Pirate Ghost figure, and had probably even blogged (somewhere else) about how great it was. So what do the brilliant minds at Playmobil go and do? Well, they take a perfect idea--dead glow-in-the-dark pirate ghosts--and they run with it to score a touchdown.

I mean, seriously... who doesn't love pirates, and what could possibly make the idea better, than a series of undead pirates?

Answer: nothing.



So, if you check the catalog image below (and it's probably better if you click on the image to see a larger version), you'll see that the playmo-gods have also put out a fantastic ghost ship, a haunted island with translucent bones, and a few other smaller sets.

For the record, I've seen them all in person, and can testify to the fact that they're utterly fantastic.
