218 'Special' sets were issued by Playmobil over 18 years, from 1994 to 2012.

Special sets had numbers 4501-4698, 4740-4757, 4900, 4902. Each set generally had one figure plus accessories such as headgear, armour, weapons, tools, etc.

All the sets offered here are in good used condition, complete with all the parts of the original, but no instruction sheets and only with boxes where stated (MISB= Mint in Sealed Box, a new, unopened item). A small number of sets have substitute parts (the same shape as the original but in a different colour) or replacement parts or home-made parts. Details of defects, replacement parts and home-made parts here:

4501 has a black cape: the original had a grey one

4506#1, #2 and #3 have a brown cane: the original had silver-grey

4542 has plain cuffs: the original had pointed cuffs

4558#2 and #3 have a different map sticker from the original

4573 has a home-made white stalk on the hat to hold the umbrella

4575#2 has black gloves: the original had dark grey

4615 has a green hat, green cloak and brown pouch: in the original these were dark green, brown and dark brown respectively

4626 has worn gold printing on the edges of the jacket and buttons

4654 has a black compass: the original had brown

4658 has broken heels (see photo), sadly a common problem with this set, where the boots seem to have been made with weak plastic!

All photos are of the specific figure and parts you will receive if you buy from me.

I will combine sets into one package if you buy more than one: you pay UK shipping on the first item only.

Non-UK buyers; contact me before checkout so I can help keep GSP fees to a minimum.
