The famous Blue Star Donuts, make sure to try them if you're ever in PDX

Sadly the full article with the interview with Michael Krauß on nn.de is behind a paywall. He's a collector from Fürth, the next town over from Zirndorf, who does seem to have some rare local exclusives.

Dang that's a hard paywall too, it defeated all the usual tricks for bypassing it.  The gallery of some of his rarities is visible though https://www.nn.de/kultur/sammler-wahnsinn-dieser-playmobil-fan-aus-furth-hat-figuren-die-kein-anderer-hat-1.14166789

Excellent sleuthing, thanks!     IIRC Tiermann knows Oliver Schaffer, maybe he could ask directly about the lady! Or I bet they know on Klickywelt

Could the lady be ... queen Eadgyth? She seems the most famous female historical figur connected with Mgdeburg

Thanks for that link, Maccy!
Apart from being underwhelmed at his excitement over finding two keychain figures in one bag  , I have to say his 'mouthless' klicky is not what it appears to be, IMO. The first klickies (with plain soles to their feet) had printed-on faces and its not uncommon to find them where the mouth or eyes are partially or completely worn off. I may be wrong and there may have been some prototype klickies with no mouths, but I'm not sure you could distinguish these from ones where the mouth has got rubbed off.
