Glad to know you found the answer, Andi.   I was completely stumped.

A woman with no curves at all..... or is it a man with long hair and ponytails

Never knew this figure existed before!

Until Arizzo provided the answer, I thought possibly it was a promotional figure.

Playmobil missed a good opportunity there. The female figure from that set would have been a perfect choice for marketing as an official keychain. I think the wording would have helped it to sell really well.

I do think it's definitely a woman. The bows in the hair are a bit of a give-away.

It's not the first time I've seen a woman figure given a male body. Usually it's done when they require some kind of uniform which isn't suited to the female torso.

I used to have long hair myself, but never put bows in my hair
Which other sets had these male-like women figures?

The one I was thinking of when I wrote that was 3305. 

I can see why they chose a male body here. This set was released a few years before they introduced the curvy torso and the old-style female dress would have looked a bit wrong on a horserider. I have that figure as a keychain too.

I haven't seen any flat-chested women in recent sets, but I do have a female golfer keychain with a male torso. It is definitely official merchandise as it's still in the original Playmobil bag. I think the intention in this case was to produce m/f figures that matched each other, but I still think the flat chest looks a bit off on a female figure.

(A big thank you goes to Andi (Customizer) for helping me get these golf keychains. )

I can also add a female one with a male torso. On the left you can see an original Playmobil figure (for which I must admit, that I still know that I got it originally packaged in a Playmobil bag but I absolutely didn't know anymore from where  ... was it eBay? ... a direct service order add on? ...) which for obvious reasons -- the vest -- has got a male body. On the right you can see a custom work of mine using the same vest on a curved female torso, which actually proves that with a little bit heating via a hot air gun the vest could also made fit on a female body 
(BTW the left figure also includes the shown monkey; and the female figure should match the 3240 zoo male keeper ... or actually is the male keeper with female head and hairs)

Neat work yet again, Jochen.

If you don't mind i prefer the female with the female curves
