Does Playmobil make lanistas?

I now have seven Playmobil gladiators, including a pair of twins (although only one of the two is a retiarius). The one Roman legionnaire I own is getting nervous....

He'll be fine! He has the entire Empire behind him!

Just don't tell him about the Germanic centurions...he'll cry.

I'm tempted by the "Roman camp getting overrun by Germanic tribesmen" set. :)

There really IS such a thing? NEAT! Cogidubnous shall be avenged!

Well, two Romans and two tribesmen, so "overrunning" is perhaps overselling the point, but the picture on the box has the two Germans coming over the wall....

How can the Playmobil Emperor possibly tell the gladiators his decision at the end of the match?

Or, wait, I'm thinking of Fisher-Price Little People, aren't I.

Well, Playmobil don't have dirigible thumbs either, closer to Lego hands than anything. There isn't an Emperor as far as I know, but there is a Senator set. A robed Senator on a pavilion thing.
