PLAYMOBIL EGYPTIAN DESIGNS

While we all wait to see the first pictures of the NEW Playmobil Egyptians, the folks at GW thought that everyone might enjoy looking at Gordon Smuder's wonderful Playmobil Egyptian designs from the 1980's.

NOTE: Over the years Playmobil has used several of Gordon's designs to produce new figures and accessories.

cool pics

as am designer and developper need to ask this

does anybody have pics from a so called missisipiboat ?

rumour goes that there are pics , never developped

or is it just a rumour ?

[CountBogro]

as far as I heard, and its existance is mentioned in one of the Playmobil guides, is that the Mississipe steamboat was ready to be produced when they decided not to. Too expensive.

I remember vaguely to have seen pics - but these can have been of a custom. But that's all I know...
I am quite sure though that someone had made a wonderfull custom of it anyway.

You are indeed correct about a wonderful Mississippi Steamboat custom, Bogro ...

Pyramids??!
Pharaohs??!!
Sphinxes??!!!

I nearly fell off my chair in surprise when I saw this list! It has completely exceeded my expectations!

Although we haven't seen any pics yet, I'm sure these sets will be a dream come true for many adult collectors.

Thanks for relaying weinchylein's information, Andi!
And a very big THANK YOU to the team in Zirndorf for listening to our pleas for more historical sets!

I'm also looking forward to seeing the new modern house and room sets. It's going to be an amazing year!
