I've noticed that too. Even the packages look very similar.

I know, sometimes I accidentally reach for a L#$% packet instead of a playmo one. Same colors and everything. Though it seems the playmo ones will be a different color with each series, so that will maake it easier, and less like they're copying L@#$.

I have to admit that legionaire looks great... not as great as the klicky one, but still looks good. At some point both companies copy each other, its a marketing race, lets face it.

These Lego figures are really cute. I would collect them if they were one euro each ... but they're not worth more than that. And they're useless for customising or for building armies and so on.

There is a great thread in another forum about this that I will try to bring here. gotta find it, ask permission etc.
It shows one by one the lego and the playmobil figures. There is one of each. Not a coincidence I think.

Problem with the lego figures series is that its very difficult to find any of them that can actually be put to use amongst the existing themes.

The playmobil figures seem more versatile, although there are some oddballs that dont have much use. Like when are you going to use an Uncle Sam clickie?
