Browsing German DS I noticed this new set:
http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Detail?pid=6224&cgid=Ds_Figuren
and did a double take on the father figure, but he is wearing swimming trunks!
-
With his dark swimming trunks and that camera, he looks a little questionable :lol:!
Ace :brownhair:
-
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
I do like the woman's bikini though-it's a nice colour.
-
:lol: :lol: :lol:
It does look like a good set though!
-
Talk about a flasher. :o
-
Whoa, somebody call the cops! :hehe:
-
i like the new bikini styles! ;D
that man does look like he's going to skinny deep ???
-
That pic is a classic! :lol: :lol: :lol:
Great set :)
Damo :)
-
Wow! i adore this set!
Just placing an order to US DS for Speedo Dad (he is never in stock) and the other swimsuit folks. Can't wait to have other colors such as the lady's blue bikini. Thanks so much for posting this, Pgal!
PS: My question is what the heck took them so long to offer swimsuits on Klickies? Shouldn't this have been done decades ago? Arghhhh!
-
Wow! A camera as a bathing suit! That guy is going to get thrown off the beach!
Except maybe St. Tropez!
I think he needs to trade in the Speedo for Trunks!
It is a cute set. I have a lifeguard, a surfer, and 2 Bikin clad clickies sitting on my desk at work for the summer!

yeah that guy is always out of stock
as for why it took so long for them to be released - i think it's very obvious
-
I wonder if they shot the pic that way on purpose. :lol:
I'm dying to get this set. I love the woman's bikini, and the girl's swimsuit is really cute, too!
Talk about a flasher. :o
:lol: :lol: :lol: Good one!
-
I do think that the camera placement on Speedo Dad is a hoot! Instead of minimizing attention to his skimpy suit, it draws attention! Oooops!
Has anyone seen this set in stores in Austria or Germany yet? I have inlaws traveling there for another week who can pick it up if it is available.
Wish they would introduce some swimmers from other ethnic groups...when do we get to take our friends to the pool for an outing? How about a family in swimsuits like the beautifully dressed families from other continents....Asian, Egyptian, African, Indian and American Indian, Hispanic, etc.?
All of the swimsuit Klickies are difficult to find at US DS every time I order, Pgal :wave:
-
There is one swimsuit lady who can be used as hispanic/mediterranean: http://store.playmobilusa.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-US-Site/en_US/Product-Show?pid=4861&cgid=Freizeit-Ferienhaus And you can always make some of them oriental by swapping heads. Hopefully we'll see other ethnic ones soon.

It's only available through German DS and should be available worldwide next year.

I've just bought 32 figures in "beachwear", not always swimming gear but jeans or pedal-pushers as well, from UK DS. There are three female figures, one male and two children who could be Hispanic/Mediterranean.

Thanks for the tip. I will try "beachware" with US DS. I love the shorts and short sleeves and bare arm looks as well as the swimsuits. Have noticed the figures with darker skin. Hoping they offer some Asians and Africans, too, in beachware.
The new pool and so many beach sets are wonderful for playtime fun. My friends want to play with my PM water sets the minute they step in the door. (I really think that they are jealous of our toys, which make a lot more sense then their second homes.)
I would think that the Germans and other No. Europeans would love playing with these warm weather PM folks when they cannot spend their cold days on Mallorca in the Mediterranean. And even Mallorca can be too cold for outdoor swimming in late November...the pool was empty the entire week we were there. Wish we had had some PM to play with there! Everything is written in German for the tourists, so we almost felt like we were in Germany...except for the scenery. Cheers, Pgal :wave:

the skin tone of asian klickies is the same as that of caucasian klickies, you just swap the heads
-
Hahah! I think that is deliberate. Speedos are mocked in Australia. We were made wear them for school swimming. I pitied the boys.
-
Yeah speedos are mocked here in the US, too. I think they're a european thing.
-
Wow what a set!
But i do like the kids swimming suit! they are nice!!
Emily :cheerlead:

I just queried on playmoDB with "beach" and this got up a lot of the figures, maybe most. Also on playmoDB try "yatch" and "swim". These will gvie you the part numbers for DS.

I think Speedos are mocked pretty much everywhere, because in Belgium it's the same thing ;) Boys/men aren't allowed swimming trunks in (indoor) public swimming pools because of 'hygiene', but most guys I know hate that rule :)
Love that family though, I could really use them on my beach scene :D

Now that's going to get some interest! :o
-
yeah, that speedo thing seems to be the same everywhere - PM maybe designed it because it was the most universal thing...but that guy still looks funny in it :lol:
-
Now that's going to get some interest! :o
Just to be clear: they are allowed speedo's. So no obligatory nakedness! :lol:
-
I've heard about this speedos-only rule at a lot of European pools.... thank goodness that isn't a requirement anywhere here that I know of. :loco:

I guess it's a good idea they didn't take the picture from the side. :-[ Given the 'picture', and the discussion about places that that sort of swim wear would be approriate or not(not the camera.) should the girl and the women have a 'topless' European Riviera look to them?
-

YES, they should! ;D

Ah, I understand now.
