Tintin would make a fantastic theme. I would love a Playmobil white and red rocket.

Discworld
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Same, though it would be my niece making demands on my wallet. Alice in Wonderland or le Petit Prince would do me in.

Being a Napoleonic era enthusiast, I'd like to see figures reproduced from 'Sharpe'. It'd be great to see Chosen Men  cavalry, drummers, colour sergeants, Duke of Wellington, the Old Guard with Eagle standards etc

I would to see a distinction drawn on these forums between themes and franchises. Themes are open world. Franchises constrain imagination. Franchises are collectible but they are not usually easy to play with. A celtic warrior, for example, could be the hero or the villain, a central character or just part of the clan. But Asterix is always going to be Asterix. As such I am very much in favour of themes drawing on historical periods or fantasy fiction, but cautious about franchises.

I think it is telling that the Playmobil franchises to date are either 80s-related or self-invented. If they start making Octonauts or Paw Patrol figures we'll be in a whole new world.
