The year 1999 wasn’t much of a strong year for medieval knights fans, Playmobil only released one set: 3030 Knights Castle Adventure Set.
Another awesome half castle, this time with a large gate, resembling the gate from castle 3667, with a catapult, two mounted knights, a tree with rocks and several accessories. Not to mention six new characters!
Re-launch: Double Knights Set 3123
This Playmobil double set 3123 was released in 1999, revealing the option to buy both, Siege Tower and Castle Defense sets 3887 and 3888 in one single box.
Everything is the exact same from the original sets, they are just re-launched in a new larger package.
This is the beautiful artwork cover of the 1993 catalog, featuring Playmobil’s brand new medieval knights sets.
Playmobil released their first major Knights set in 1993 with large magnificent castles, battle towers, prison carriages, tournament tents and catapults.
These pages (above and below) are straight from the Playmobil USA catalogof 1993. The yellow triangles with an “N” means these sets had just been released in that year – N for new.
The themes in these sets seem to be representing three different factions:
The tower knights (green and yellow). The swan knights (blue). The royal crown knights (red).
These three factions are enemies of the Red Baron Knights, also addressed to as Purple Dragon Knights.
