One of the highlights of my recent trip to Orlando was a visit to the Playmobil store in the Florida Mall. I was thrilled to see that they finally have a Viking line. So if anyone likes tabletop miniatures (okay so they're kind of big, but try swapping weapons and taking the metal ones off of horses) that you don't have to paint they're pretty cool. Yes, most of them still have horns on their helmets but they'd make good Orlanthi. At least one figure comes with a spaehelm and all but the mounted ones have big round shields.
The best place to see them is on the German site since most of the sets aren't due out in NA until August:-(

(When this monstrous URL doesn't work click on Alle produkte, Abenteuer and
then Wikinger.
(I really wanted the crewed longboat but settled for the Viking camp and the
mounted leader).
