Playmobil FIGURES App & Golden Collectors Figure KNIGHT
StJohn:
The Playmobil FIGURES App, the official Figures app of Geobra Brandstaetter Stiftung & Co. KG, was launched in Juli 2022 as a free game for smartphones and has occasionally been commented upon in this forum – typically nonplussed.
A recent update, perhaps in May 2023, has made the game a lot more interesting: it is now possible, by completing a series of 24 figures, to obtain a not-for-sale golden collectible figure free of charge! Series can be completed by winning figures in the game, or by purchase: an individual code is printed on each Figures (Fi?ures) leaflet, which can be entered into the app to add the pertinent figure to your in-app collection. There are three series that can be completed in the game, 22 – 23 – 24. Each player can hence win a maximum of three collectible figures.
I gave it a try and completed series 24, sheerly by the power of my purse: I bought all :(o): 24 figures, just to get the voucher codes for the collectable figure. After contacting Geobra with my winning code, the figure was sent to me as a DHL parcel, and it did not disappoint.
The item comes bagged, with bags within the bag.
Not a blind bag, this time. It carries a ETN number (30797244) and was apparently made in Malta in July 2023.
The figure inside is a twin of the Blue Knight / Space Knight of Series 1 (#5203), but instead of blue now in plain gold.
So, we get lots of parts in plain gold that were hitherto not available: the legs with regular boots, the arm greaves (armor) with pointed shoulder, and the pointed visor of the helmet ("Hounskull").All very desirable parts.
So desirable that I need more, and there is the challenge: it is virtually impossible to complete a series of 24 figures just by playing the game. As shown in the first image, I make it into the high twenties by playing, but probably need to get the codes for the last few from Figures (Fi?ures) bags to complete a series. Another challenge, as series 22 has meanwhile disappeared from the stores here. Also, the codes in the bags do not always match with the same figure in the game, as I have been able to observe for series 24 – for example, the code with the Alien conjures up the Trapper in the game. There is a chance, therefore, that buying the missing figures of 22 and 23 will still not result in a complete in-app series. 8} Time will tell.
I think the game makes collecting Figures (Fi?ures) a bit more interesting, and certainly addictive. I suppose it is also commercially smart, as I would never have bought a series in full, just to get the voucher codes (when doing that for series 24, I didn't yet realise that most figures can simply be won in the game :lol:). But I wonder how long the collectible figure will be offered, because it must be quite costly for Geobra to send out free price figures throughout the world. So I need to get my final two pronto before the offer runs out. ;D
Anybody else here who has also been playing the game?
Best wishes
StJohn

Thanks for the information! That figure is great!
I have several figures from these series, but many of them are unopened (and I plan to keep them that way for now :-\).

I'd usually avoid something like this, but that figure is worth the effort. I'll have to go find the opened packages for the leaflets and see what I can manage.

Alright, so I think I figured out most of what there is to this.
I entered all of the codes from leaflets I had from these three series. I had a code for the Series 24 Alien map to the Trapper as well. :-\ I had many duplicates (especially for the Series 22 Knight and Gladiator :)), and, if you enter a code for a duplicate figure, you get 500 gold. I ended up with 34 of the 72 figures and about 8000 gold by doing this.
You can use gold to purchase packs from any of the three series. A "Basic Pack" costs 250 gold and contains some figure items and some bonus items that can be used in the game. A "Legendary Pack" costs 1000 gold and contains one figure (with some figure items) and some bonus items that can be used in the game; you will not always get a figure that you do not yet have. It seems like repeat figures refund about 600 gold, and repeat figure items refund about 100 gold.
You also get one free pack daily (really this seems to be every ~28-29 hours). This appears to be a "Legendary Pack" (or at least it was for me for the first "day").
The game (a matching-type game) is quite easy. The bonus items can help boost your score. In a single game (which can last several minutes with bonus items), it is rather easy to accumulate a score that will result in a reward of 100 to 300 gold.

I have been playing it and was able to enter the full code set for Series 23 since I had them at hand. I am missing just 1 from series 22 from direct entries and playing the game. I sent the email and received confirmation from them but haven't gotten the figure yet. From what I have read it is the same figure even if you complete all 3 series, not a figure unique to each series.

From experience – but without guarantees! – I present the following list of Figures Series 24, with the content of the bags on the left, and on the right what the codes from the bags trigger in the app game. The discrepancies are marked in bold. Numbers between brackets on the right indicate that I repeated the experience more than once.
