Interesting. But they didn't illustrate the right playmo hair type in the article. Clearly this is what Rain Epler showed his hair stylist:

I read that and understood all of it EXCEPT the Playmobil reference. Why does he say that we will all agree that the Playmobil pirate ship is the best toy in history?

It's a complete world and can be played with on any surface a person is likely to use - carpet, bed, grass, sand, water without falling over like the figures themselves do. The figures can stay upright on the decks or be clipped onto things to stop them falling over. It's relatively easy to store and doesn't take up as much space as a building or fall apart if you move it.
Personally I prefer castles but there are definite pros to ship toys.

I run across stories like this all the time. I felt that it was time to start sharing them. 8}

Yep, please keep sharing them. Playmobil is iconic and finds its way into real life hairstyles, etc., even when the toys are not being discussed!

As a young child, she mainly played with Playmobil, Krauhausen explains somewhat regretfully. "It's only now that I've discovered how much fun Lego really is."

According to Wikipedia their information is out of date, that stadium is no longer the Playmobil Stadium as it was sold to another owner and renamed in 2010 :sherlock:

It seems it was personally owned by Horst

The guy in the picture is James May, a well- known kidult and UK TV presenter. If you look at the right demographic, I bet the figure is higher than 25% in most of the developed world.

So you're saying the Spaniards are the mature ones!

Yes, it is very hard to understand, due to the oddball style and subject matter. I believe the editorialist is mocking the current prime minister of Lebanon, Najib Mikati — "Mikou" — by likening him to a 'playmobil', meaning a straw man ( aka a 'non-player character', or npc ), who got his position by being obsequious to one Istiz Nabeuh, an old senator who's pulling the strings, apparently. The title, "Chefs Playmobil", hints that the PM isn't the first puppet political leader, parading around, the country has known — as confirmed later in the article.

That one is actually directly referring to klickies and not using the term "Playmobil" as part of a political character assassination, like most of these pieces do :lol:

I would argue that htis is genuine PM news :blackhair:

I never really understood how we are supposed to get the luggage - if you don't get there BEFORE the bags start to show up.
But if there is footage, just share the video - and let the hunt begin!
