« on: February 24, 2011, 02:29:25 »
i just found this picture (i can't really remember where) browsing in the internet.
i had a black & white version of it but this one seems to be a picture of the "original" plans.  :)

Yes, and this one has legs that move seperately. I think these were the drawings that were submitted tot the patent offices. I think I have it in my playmobil book (the story of a smile).

These are the very first plans from Hans Beck back in 1971, the full story and plans are inside the anniversary book "The story of a smile". I bought that book on previous Saturday at the Hellenic Playmobil Funpark and I am reading it every night since then  ;D

I don't think the drawning suggests the legs move independently from one another, the side-view with "one leg horizontal" is IHMO showing that the 2 legs can be moved to that position together; the colour of the drawninglines are lighter   and this normally means alternative positions on technical drawnings (in contradiction with the colour of the drawlines of the arms, the colour is the same for both arms because they do move seperately). And the line in the middle between the 2 legs is just the centerline for the klicky-design.

I agree Hadoque. It shows the one piece legs in the sitting & standing positions, but not a split design.
