They are adorable!  I'm glad to see that the babies are able to grasp things.  I too am not sure about that haircut though ;).

Can't wait to get them here in the States!
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Hey I was just wondering, are these new babies a little bigger than the old babies? Can you post a picture of the two types side by side?

I think they are the same - the legs are interchangeable...

Looking at these lovely babies I was wondering wich was the first set ever with a baby in it?

I still remember I was twelve and found myself almost too old for Playmobil, but then the first children arrived. They were so great I had to buy them. Babies late eighties? Does anyone know?

Taller no, but the newest babies' head looks a bit bigger. The difference between the previous type and the newest one might just be the haircut or the bigger eyes and mouth.

The Collector Catalogue I have suggest set 3593 was the first set with a baby in it, from the 1984/85 catalogue.



I only just now managed to get that red baby (it came with the 3782 bus) :)

And children first appeared in the 1981/82 catalogue.

Those pictures make me melt. So cute! I'd never noticed those different haircuts in the old style. I love the first version best. Great you managed to buy the red one. She's very sweet.


Thank you for the information. Stupid hormons. I'd better have asked those sets for my thirteenth birthday  than a hairdryer and make-up. Hopefully I can catch up now.  :lol:
And I'm still using that same hairdryer once in a while.

Thanks for the comparison pictures, Birdie. It makes sense for them to be the same size, that way they will fit in all the same car seats, strollers, and high chairs.

Cute, yes but to me they look more 123 than ever. The old babies looked more playmobil to me. The baby with the diaper looks weird but not the full jumpsuited ones. I thought the pcc team said these new babies were meant to be older?

Thanks for all the nice pictures

Yeah, they did say that. That's why I was wondering. But they did say they were considered to be older because they were able to grasp things, so I guess not because of their size.

Oh hang on, I forgot because I don't have one, but the nativity set baby Jesus wrapped in blankets is smaller than this one, right?

Maybe that's supposed to be the new-born?  :)
