Novelties first half 2023

Interesting that Geobra chose to make one of the ugliest cars of all time . I will definitely have to add many to the collection but is there really  fan base for this ? Seems there are so many other brands or models that have a cult following

The 2CV? To me the only problem is that it's virtually indistinguishable from a Beetle, so I think they should have gone for a darker colour (though maybe the real car didn't come in many colours). I assume it has a fan base - I am aware of it and I have zero interest in cars.

And yes, there is a Ferrari in the trade catalogue, though it is still pending final approval (presumably from Ferrari). I don't know what the model is.

Did someone mention Ferrari ?

Thank you for all the pictures

The Citroen 2CV is an iconic car.  The brief to Citroen's designers was to produce a car which could be driven across ploughed fields with a load of eggs in without any eggs being broken.  It was aimed at the rural community with farmers and winemakers in mind as a family replacement for the horse and cart.  It's shape from the side is very much like the VW Beetle when it comes to looks.  It was in production in France from 1938 to 1988 and elsewhere until 1990.  Here's a link:

I'm planning on getting this set. I'm not a car person but some iconic vehicles like the mini and the mb 300sl I do want. I'd like to see a series III Land-Rover.

What do you mean “articulated “ ? The toes move ?

The sandal string (is that the right word?) separates the big toe from the rest, so the big one is "articulated". Makes me shiver ...

The 2CV has an enormous cult following in Europe, especially in France and the Benelux, perhaps elsewhere (I don't notice them on the roads here in Germany). Nice car, I just mind that it doesn't have that typical Playmobil look. It is not a toy but a miniature model, with a very different designer mindset to it that what guides normal Playmobil cars.

That Citroën 2CV is great!

Set 71020 is a Ferrari SF90 Stradale, if you haven't seen the description or picture for that one.

The new Ayuma sets are definitely interesting. Abjatus (the centaur) in Set 71235 is nice; the jewel in his staff might be a new piece too. The purple ghostly creature in Set 71215 is really nice too!

It's also great to see the Novelmore sets with single figures. It's too bad that the sugarloaf helm (in the dragon slayer style with plume) in Set 71212 looks to have a lot of printing. I'm still interested to see better images that show the colours though.

  The 2CV was the item I instantly wanted out of all this stuff (+ the bunny woman from Figures 23), I'm not really a car person, but I grew up loving the 2CV & Dyane.  I don't think they're ugly at all, but then I'm not into modern cars or sports cars.

The French cop in the 2CV set is great! I like the other two figures as well. They really should do series of "national types" for each country they sell in.

It’s a nice modern super car
