Playmobil #4693 SWAT Police Officer Figure

Came across this Playmobil figure the other day and just couldn't resist not getting it. This is one of those Playmobil Specials that start at a very good price point. The boxed sets are a different thing altogether and can set you back an arm and a leg if you really were to go down that road. As for me, I'm just happy to get my hands on this.


The interesting thing is, this Playmobil #4693 SWAT Police Officer Figure is pretty much a stand-alone figure i.e. there are no box sets or other figure like it. All the other SWAT figures in the series are "dressed" differently from this particular figure.



Here's the basic Playmobil SWAT Police Officer Figure out of the box. I liked that he comes with five o'clock shadow (beard stubble). He's wearing body armor / bullet proof vest over his green uniform.


And here's the Playmobil SWAT Police Officer Figure (#4693) with all his gear laid out


There's the POLICE helmet with face shield, shotgun, pistol, gas mask, holster, rope, flashlight and grappling hook.

Here he is with the shotgun attached with flashlight for operating in the dark




With his grappling hook and rope in hand, the SWAT Officer is prepared for any obstacle.


This Playmobil SWAT Police Officer Figure is now fully equipped and ready to take on the bad guys



And here's a comparison of the earlier released Playmobil Special Police Figure (FULL review HERE). You can see how Playmobil has improved the overall look. I like that there are these miniature figures to accompany the 1/6 scale versions that I have. Click on the pictures below for a bigger and better view :)


Now this is a shot of three of the Playmobil Police Officers I have. The one of the left is from the K9 unit (Playmobil Policeman with Tracking Dog).
