Title: Plastic Tipis, Tepees, Teepees- Native American Tents
Post by: GrahamB on November 20, 2022, 19:24:40

Whatever you call them, there have been four different Playmobil tepees in plastic (as opposed to later, fabric ones). Types 3 and 4 are pretty much identical apart from the stickers. Type 4 was a 30th Anniversary reissue (in 2004) of type 3 (first issued in 1989).

Type 1. Rigid plastic, does not fold up. 5 sides. Door reaches to the ground. No poles. Hole in the top where a piece fits to simulate the tops of 5 poles. Stickers unique to this design.

Scans of the 5 sides assembled into a composite (it is not possible to flatten this tepee without damaging it!).

Type 2 Five-sided, doorway has edge below. Flat piece assembled by joining two edges with poppers. Top has flaps over which a ring bearing 5 pole tops fits.

Type 3. Similar to type 2 but six-sided, join is down the centre of one face. Has a hexagonal base and six internal poles. Upper part of the tent has molded patterns. Unique stickers.

Wallet shuddered, but I THINK we have this covered :)

Those are all beautiful, though not as "fancy" as the later types..
