Title: December - June 2021
Post by: tahra on September 07, 2020, 19:12:37
Usual place has a set list (translate.google.com is a friend if needed ;) ) : amclicks link (http://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-playmobil/novedades-alemania-enero-julio-2021)

And kw has tiny pics of the whole cat.

That zeppelin...  :o :love:  and the fire boat  :love: :love:  (I am in love with the sail, I think  :-[ )

And dragons. We really need to be somewhat selective :(  They would NEVER fit the tubs anyway. And I have no idea how I'd fit a THIRD tub (besides the akibox) for dragons! :wall:

My wallet was mostly happy with the (from the tiny pics) lame scooby offers... 

And... are all the everwhatsit s3 women? Or 11 of 12? And 9 of them speedos?! Why can't those airheads dream of Middle Earth or something!?

And - biggest question I have... are those SHOES on the speedos?!

Thank you for the heads up!  :wave:
My wallet agrees on your Scooby-doo dogs opinion  ;D
I'll skip the whole dragons, same mold, same old...
Instruments are always welcome, but being everwhatsit, the colours are very Fritz Tomé  :lol:
Nice Zeppelin though!

You should have searched here...  ;D


from this thread (https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=17157.msg309111#msg309111):

I know I missed something, but who is Fritz Tome?

:lol:   The name me and another playmofriend came up with for the colorblind weirdo at playmobil who comes up with the odd, impossible to understand stuff...  :P

(yes, I'm nuts  :-[ )

Where can you momentarily see the best "ensemble" of pics?
FB? Amclicks? KW?

On FB I saw the "Novelmore Medieval Steampunk Airship" (Mr. Ferdinand Von Zeppelin wasn´t born until 1838), quite nice at first look...
It seems to have a carrying-handle on top, hopefully that one can be disconnected or the airship would rather look silly in a display.

Concerning Scooby Doo, do I see it correctly he comes multiple times with each time different accessories?
If so, I hope the accessories are not "really-need-to-have" parts. I have a cat, she won´t like several dozens of dogs invading the house even if they are toys. And my wallet wouldn´t agree either.

I understand that all catalogue pictures come from Visual1971 on Klickywelt, so if you want to trace them back to the source, KW is your best shot. A pity that it appears they had to downsize them in order to upload to the forum, though – hopefully higher resolution pics are just around the corner.

It goes without saying that the Search and Rescue sets are the ones I'm most enthusiastic about – I'll never say no to hi-viz klickies. Also, I'm curious about the thieves and police officers blisters – as was pointed out in the dedicated discussion, the line between the regular assortment and the DS seems to have faded.

If so, I hope the accessories are not "really-need-to-have" parts. I have a cat, she won´t like several dozens of dogs invading the house even if they are toys. And my wallet wouldn´t agree either.

:lol:  I hope those accessories will eventually be made available through the DS, as there are some I would really not mind acquiring in mass: first of all, the US firefighter helmet in red.

Hi Janilew!

Because I don't remember to visit Klickywelt often enough, sometimes my membership expires and I have to sign up again.  Last time I did that (about a month ago) it took a week for them to activate me, perhaps due to the pandemic?  Maybe that's what is slowing things down for you. 

Did you get the initial "Welcome to Klickywelt" email?  That seems to be generated automatically when you sign up and then the "Account Activated" email comes later.  Good luck!

I wonder what the small presentation box for BTTF could be. Mystery figures to get more characters? That could be cool.

I hope that with the upcoming series, they'll release the Novelmore main characters in smaller sets or even in duo packs as not every kid can afford to buy a huge castle to get the main hero of the show. :)

I could see them using the Steaming Mary molds again, they are big on reuse. It wouldn't have the powered tender but would still be great for display and could be powered if there is a dead tender with it.

That's what my Mom and I figured. But hey! I wouldn't be complaining. You'd also be right about reuse since they're bringing entire sets like 3019 and that Viking fort. Makes it even more possible!

Dinosaur mechs??? There seems to be some new influences in the design department. Absolutely off the rails for the fantasy themes this next year.
Check out the latest at AmClicks for the first half http://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-playmobil/novedades-alemania-enero-julio-2021/ (http://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-playmobil/novedades-alemania-enero-julio-2021/)
and second half http://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-playmobil/novedades-alemania-agosto-septiembre-2021/ (http://amclicks.org/foro/novedades-playmobil/novedades-alemania-agosto-septiembre-2021/) images. You need to click through to both start and end of the threads. Love the Novelmore skeleton kingdom! Lot's of great stuff in the Horror/Halloween/Witchcraft realm next year. Witch Gypsy Caravan! Some really creative stuff for once. I have also seen online pictures of the new Fairy theme on Instagram and while the painted faces are not my most favorite there are new wing styles and themes that are super.
On the other hand the Cargo theme is pretty realistic and has some great touches, like the forklift accident set. Shopping theme doesn't do it for me, but it is clearly aimed at stereotypical little girls, which isn't me.

...me too, all of those, plus the puppeteer (maybe also the clown, because of the tuba and hat).
The ladies are not so exciting, some repeats, but I would love to have that "Astrid"-long-hair in red, including her nice hat. :)
The knight-girl is interesting too, does she have a new belt?

Well, the dark fairies, IF they're real, had me over the moon. Until I realized they ALL have those horrid bodies.  Worse, all the heads will probably come printed on the forehead, making them all look like morons :(   Most have nice faces. AND with the stupid bodies, I can't even replace them with common ones. Was probably the best (or one of the best) playmohappy moment for new stuff - followed by deep disappointment.

The everwhatsit FINALLY seem to have a decent dream... though, again, almost all speedos. Then again, speedos are way better than those idiotic bodies...  No idea what the main characters are supposed to be though (do they have different colored hairs?)... took me some time to realize those weren't the music ones.... 

The gipsy caravan... BY THE GODS.

Now, the space dinos..  :love:  And I fell for the female soldier. Until I realized AGAIN... those klickys have the moronic bodies. WHY?! WHY?! (wallet approves.)  Another disappointment - though I still love the dinos. And maybe the male soldiers are ok. I mean the male super4 bodies aren't very bad... Of course most people will not tell them apart unless they are next to a normal klicky (and even then...), so... what was the point again?

Oh, and the skeletons!!!  :love: :love: Everyone knows I love skeletons, right? :skull:   Is that big weird skull thing related to the 11+1 skeletons? Are those figures? In that "box"!? Sounds like a nightmar€ .

Those new novelmore sets are gorgeous - worse, I even like the (I assume) system WHY towers! :o    And the troll-dragon!  :love:   And that zeppelin (and I love the fireboat too  ::) ) - those were already known.

And the figures.

And the A-Team van, of course.  :-[   And I am sure there's more.

And I'm sure I am forgetting something...

So, I am thinking I need to rob a bank or something for next year..

The big truck is also gorgeous (has a skull :skull: =  :love: ), but can't.

Great ideas on S20... The skull :o  and the puppeteer... And a female knight!  :love:   (I am also curious about the belt)  And merpeople are always welcome (one day, they will realize it is possible to use other colors with those molds - I hope I am still around!  :P )

But then... there's a male FIREFIGHTER in the girls!? Seriously?!  (not to mention several that are existing klickys)


And now... well, besides the mystery of the (repeat?) pregnant woman with the audio book in s19... I want to know what's with the "genie" in s20?  Don't they realize how ridiculous that is!?  It's like Gonk with the banana pile...  ::)  Or is it just me?




Oh, and I forgot.. how about we all chip in to get a scanner to the wonderful person who posted these?   ;D

The second series of Scooby Doo figures are a real disappointment. They are almost all repeats of the extra characters from the first series of sets. The first series was so strong and this batch just mostly repeats stuff already seen.
the skeletons are great though and yes it looks like that skull box is how they will come packaged. May be useful for dioramas. Hope those and the Everdreamerz Magic theme come out in time for Halloween next year in the US market. They will be excellent for that time of year. An expensive couple of years coming up.

I'm late to the party, but I can't do without commenting!

Everdreamerz Magic
The wagon is many a customizer's dream come true, I think. No way it's not going to be a bestseller. The Genie and the... Baronne Samedi are gorgeous, too, while the (presumably) evil fairy looks like something straight out of Magic: The Gathering, a Lorwyn fae.

Fi?ures
The Día de muertos klickies are brilliant. I'm in love with the skeleton with a normal body, can't wait to see how its head connects to the torso – it opens up countless possibilities. Also, it appears someone finally got the memo and delivered a proper female knight, right, Tahra?  ;)  Of course, then they had to compensate with a male firefighter.

Novelmore
The skeleton series is something I can get behind, but I'm afraid the apparently huge box will drive the prices far higher than I'd like. At any rate, I dig the flagbearer.

Harbour
Well, I guess my customs officer are gonna get reinforcements.

Police
Nothing to write home about, but the blisters are a good addition and it's nice to see they intend to make the most out of the Mistery Machine mold. The thieves look somewhat coordinated, fashion-wise.

DINO MECHS
OK, this totally caught me off guard.

US sets
The mountain rescue helicopter looks slick in silver.  :love:  And it sports the previous logo, rather than the latest. Also, another Mistery Machine in disguise!

VW-Van & -Beetle, 'Zeppelin' and the Gypsy/Witch-wagon are on the priority-list... So is the 'Astronomer'-set of course (Galileo Galilei? Corpernicus?), but that´s a smaller set (ooff) ... Many new useful figures & parts, probably too much for one year...
My wallet now hopes any possible re-release of 'Steaming Mary' (in the BTTF-theme) will come as a cardboard-version in an Advent-Calender.  8}
