Do we think it's items that were previously available through DS and they just jack the price instead of removing it (for some technical reason?) or is it an error?

Here's the picture you wanted. I figured I'd just show it off now rather than wait for Belle.

She's really cute - like you said, she seems to be in her jammy

Thanks for the pics!


Uhm.. that's a new torso, right?  Since when?  (I never payed too much attention, since I don't do 123 customs - though I NEED to pop one now.. any ideas?)

It'd still be cheaper than Ebay.

It's especially funny with Cinderella as she doesn't wear the glass slippers, and it just looks like winter pajamas that go all the way down and cover her feet.

Compatible with other figures.

The skirt is removable, as is Belle's. There's nothing crazy to see though, as they both wear pants. I'll take photos of them once the "Belle Tower" arrives. It's actually still cute, as they look like they're ready for a pajama party. XD

There's also a small bump on the bottom of the skirts which allows them to spin like they're dancing. It works surprisingly well for how simple it is.

Thank you for the reviews - the 123 klickys are all adorable

I think that's le mot juste - there's no longer any coherence to PM

I do belive the box should be clearer about the contents, as of old. Do the front on a neutral background, the back with contents layed out.. and the sides for dios, as they used to...

Totally agree! They really nailed it with the mid-2000s box design. The meticulous hand-crafted dioramas of the 80s and 90s are pretty spectacular but from a purely utilitarian standpoint these are more legible. The new style is cluttered and I find when I'm in a store now it's much harder to discern Playmobil from other products at a glance. Used to make a beeline to wherever the wall of blue was located, but with different colours for each line I think that the brand identity has been badly diluted. I also miss how there used to be a consistent set of klicky-based icons for each theme (bottom left corner of the box). Hardly the first to observe, but the overall vision feels so much less coherent than it did even 10 or 15 years ago.
