Title: 4 YEARS ???
Post by: Richard on February 26, 2007, 17:05:00
4 YEARS ? ? ?

Does Playmobil have a FOUR year cycle?

Has Playmobil been releasing a NEW Action-Adventure theme every four years?

Lets start with 1974, Playmobil's first production year.


In 1974 Playmobil produced their first Knights and American Indians

What will Playmobil bring us in 2010 ? ? ?
An Egyptian theme complete with Pyramid? I guess that we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for your kind comments, Dunc ...

However, it might be an "Atlantis" theme rather than an Egyptian one ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

Hi, :wave:
 Maybe coincidence? Maybe not?
 The idea of an Egyptian theme sounds
cool, so is Atlantis but what about an Aztec
theme. :hmm:

  What is the Atlantis sub made from?
 I know the top is a rescue sub and
the main body is a pirate flagship hull,but
what about the rest?

 ... but what about an Aztec
theme. :hmm:

Hello, Seawarrior ...

An Aztec Theme?

I wonder if Zirndorf thinks that their retired Jungle Theme could be used as an Aztec Theme with their new Playmobil Conquistadores?

Playmobil's Jungle Theme Natives seem to look more like Africans than like Mexican or South American Ancient Aztecs, Mayans or Incans. However, Playmobil made the wall paintings from sets 3015 and 3017 to look more like the Aztecs and Mayans, than their actual Klickys. (please see attachments).

So, maybe Zirndorf was trying to cover everything with their Jungle Theme ... ;)

All the best,
Richard
