Vintage Playmobil #3787 Royal Tent
Complete/ EXC+++-NEAR MINT (B)
(retired)
During the 1400's and 1500's it was common for the English King and his Queen to leave London to escape its summer heat and possible outbreaks of smallpox or the "sweating disease." The King and Queen journeyed around the country, sometimes staying in temporary quarters (e.g. Royal Tent) before arriving at some Lord's Castle. Hearken back to these days of yore by owning this RARE Playmobil #3837 Royal Tent play set. Manufactured between 1995-98, this set is 100% complete and is in EXC+++-NEAR MINT condition.
The set comes replete with a Prince, a beautiful Princess with her long, plaited black hair, her Lady-in-Waiting, and all the accouterments that are associated with a traveling group of royals: a royal cot, large rug, portable seat, a shield with the royal crest, a golden candelabra, a gold "Aladdin's" lamp, a swiveling mirror, and a small gold colored table. The Princess comes with her VHTF puffed sleeves, gold crown, and white fan. The Prince wields his wavy, gold sword to scare off marauders and as a symbol of his authority, a gold crown with a jaunty burgundy feather. In case he encounters inclement weather, he wears a light blue cape. His black steed is similarly outfitted with a gold colored saddle, and an elaborate royal saddle blanket and headdress. The Lady-in-Waiting comes with her VHTF blue collar and unique headdress. All of the figures and accessories are in NEAR MINT-MINT condition.
The Royal Tent is topped with a red crown, a blue roof, and elaborate floral decorations. The Tent is in EXC+++ condition with some slight wear (e.g. some light darkening on the upper portion of the back, and left walls). There is also some minor "pilling" on these same surfaces. Lastly, there is a remnant of what appears to be a pencil mark. You really have to be searching for these imperfections to even discern their presence. For example, I didn't find the pencil remnant until I held the tent up within 3" of my eyes and rotated it in the light.
This is a spectacular find and one that is sure to please an avid Playmobil collector or some lucky child.
I will be thoroughly Q-tip cleaning the tent and all of the figures and accessories before sending the set to its new owner. I spend a minimum of 1 1/2 hours cleaning all of my sets (except for those listed as being in my Rough Room).
The set weighs 12 ounces UNWRAPPED. I will be shipping this via USPS Priority. My location is Lafayette, IN 47905.
