Yes, cachalote, many thanks for all your work in posting the pictures for us.  It is very good of you and much appreciated.

Thank you so much for all of your hardwork Cachalote I for one really appreciate it 

Back in summer I mentioned that I would like to see an updated Fishing Trawler and then one turns up. Looks like somebody must be reading our forum. I can see some long hot soaks in the bath next year. Just hope my leg is not as appealing as Ahab's 

Regards Craig

many thanks cachalote for posting these pics....the new sets are awesome and guarantee 2 things. firstly that i will be permanently broke next year and secondly, that i am going to have to get a bigger playmobil room!!

also, the translation seems to suggest 2 action sets for the summer months which will be at an excellent price and limited edition.

I wonder if "action" means firefighting?

I wonder why the new Santa needs a stick? Is this to beat the naughty boys and girls with, or more innocently to help ram the toys into his toysack?

Thank you very much, Cachalote, for posting pictures
of the new sets. 
I think the church is a great addition, and the underwater sets
are awesome.
Thanks again

Best regards,
Jimbo

Hooray for cachalote! Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. I've got the new sets put in the database, and the pictures will follow when I get the crops done.

Here they are: New sets at PlaymoDB

You are INCREDIBLE, Heather! ... 

[cachalote]

all thanks should be kept for klickywelt's daniel, the guy that actually first published all these images.
in the same forum someone pointed out a shape in new surprise playmobil action sets.
if i am not mistaken, the scale of the set is rather small and it contains a pirate (the circle points the shape of his head and hat, the new "open-tip" model).
but maybe i tend to see pirates everywhere and playmofire will see a firefighter...

these sets are awesome!!!
Can the spermwhale be fitted with an underwater motor? nahhh i guess it must be for the inflatable boat.

It's amusing that they put a bride & groom in each of 4 different wedding theme sets, so if you buy all the sets in the series you get a quadruple wedding. At least the bride & groom figures are different each time.

I think it'd be better to just have the one small set with a bride & groom (4298) but replace them with the bride's parents (in 4297), the groom's best man & ushers (in 4307, tying cans on the car), bridesmaids (in 4296) or similar figures for the bigger sets.

Oh, and I'd missed the yellow 4479 deep diver - another one I'll have to send to my sea-roving brother-in-law.

Your idea would definitely work better for those collectors who plan to buy all of the sets.

It does seem a little odd to have so many different wedding couples, but I guess it's so that kids can hold more than one wedding in their church. They would get bored marrying the same couple over and over.

I also thought the bride in the car set looked slightly more casual, almost as though she had changed into her post-wedding reception outfit, ready for the honeymoon. It's nice that they have created a few different styles of wedding attire, in any case. The floral headpiece is so pretty!

I really hope that Playmobil will expand on this theme rather than discontinue it after a short time.

I can see the potential for a beautiful christening set - mum, dad, baby, priest and a font.

And what about a funeral set... hearse, coffin, mourners, etc? Yeah.. dream on, Sylvia.
