Game of Thrones Playmobil Advent Calendar Day 18: Going Ballistic!

It’s Day 18 as we begin the final week of our epic Game of Thrones inspired Playmobil advent calendar and our tale of blood and battle heads towards a shocking, implausible and no doubt hastily conceived conclusion. Yesterday the gift of fire had our hearts aflame, whatever that means, but what about today?


Let’s chop down Door #18... after the jump!


And... it’s... a...


BALLISTA!

Yes, a giant medieval crossbow bastard to blow apart oncoming foes and mad Targaryens who might be storming the castle! This thing looks like serious trouble, except... it doesn’t have any ammo. Hey now wait a minute Playmobil.... I hope you sly buggers aren’t going to try to give us the missile as a separate gift because that would be a dick move. I’m going to have to trust you on this one. 


Still, this is a very promising gift for the long-forgotten Sir Dudley of Moore who has been holed up in the keep with his horse Thundercracker like a giant medieval pussy. Now he can wheel out the ballista and try to interrupt Mad Dragon-Bangin’ Gary Targaryen’s evil fireside summoning ritual. Well at least he could if he had some kind of missile. You know what... absolutely nobody in this equation has thought things through...

Still! A pretty impressive gift from Playmobil! AM-I-RITE???
