NovaBombardment's Playmobil Photos
« on: September 09, 2024, 00:18:35 »
Hello! I was a little confused about the difference between the photos and storytelling boards, so I decided to just put my photos in here.

Photo #1:

The delinquent takes the woman's seat in the hammock, and antagonizes her by repeatedly stretching and saying how comfortable it is. As she angrily yells at him to move, the life guard she called over speaks patiently into the megaphone.

"If you don't get out of that hammock right now, you'll be in more trouble than you're already in".


The woman's son is also angry, and starts to throw water balloons at the delinquent. Another life guard grabs him by the arm and tells him to stop.

Photo #2: This is the Playmobil version of the classic anime gag. :)

The local ice cream truck that's been the town's sole ice cream vendor for years, has suddenly had a small stand set up next to them. As the owner and his assistant set up, the ice cream truck's customers all run over to the new stand. "What's going on?!" the truck's owner says as he looks out the window.

The smaller stand's owner waves at the truck owner, as his assistant hands the children their ice cream.

"Thank you!!" the boys say. "You're welcome!" the assistant replies!

Photo #3

The young girl has been enjoying multiple rounds of snacks at the beach's food cart, but unfortunately has made quite the mess. The environmentalist approaches and scolds the girl, informing her of the harm that litter can cause. Feeling ashamed, the young girl apologizes and starts to clean up. The environmentalist is grateful, and even feels a little guilty for being so harsh. She decides to help the girl clean up, which makes the girl happy.

The vendor watches in frustrated silence as his best customer has stopped spending money, but decides to keep quiet to avoid having to help.

I don't know why, but I have such a soft-spot for any Playmobil food-based set. Maybe it dates back to the lack of any cafe sets when I was a kid :lol: I've been pretty restrained, because they come so thick-and-fast now, but I couldn't resist that crepe stand, and I keep an eye out for a ice cream truck.

ANYWAY - very cute pictures :)

Thank you! I'm glad you like the set showcase aspect! Part of my inspiration comes from the idea that anyone can recreate these scenes straight out of the box. :) I usually don't swap klicky parts around either, but I did it for the ice cream photo since it just made sense. The messy hair made the truck owner look more stressed out, and it made sense for the slush stand owner and the assistant to have the same style hat.

I wish I could have hammered the joke in a bit better with the dialogue, but I was being careful not to step over any forum rules. In case it wasn't obvious, it's the classic anime gag where the less impressive store gets more traffic due to the pretty girl. :lol: Part of the inspiration was just to showcase how ridiculous that character's design is, as Playmobil occasionally gets a little over the top.

Thank you! I couldn't resist that crepe cart either. It was one of the initial sets I bought when I first discovered Playmobil last year! One of the other sets I bought was a beach snack bar set, so I guess I like the food sets too. :) The ice cream truck I showed in the second picture was kind of expensive, but it's a nice set if you want an ice cream truck.

Photo #4: The ice cream man and his assistant, alongside their 1.2.3 counterparts.

The regular Playmobil pair are more peppy and youthful, and get along like the best of friends. The 1.2.3 pair are a little older and more mature, but are also the best of friends.

Check out that balancing act I got the regular pair to pull off! :o

Photo #5: This is an updated version of the photo I took in my latest purchases thread. It's a little different than most Playmobil photos, and hopefully people don't think it's too strange. Kids have a twisted sense of humour at times, so I could totally see them setting this up.


The children are very upset that their favourite playground is being torn down, but the elderly man comforts them by letting them know that they're getting much better equipment in the coming months. The woman in the dump truck looks at the children from a distance, and can't help but feel guilty.

The boy in the blue shirt looks sadly at the flag on the ground, while the boy in the panda shirt can't bear to look. The girl in the pink shirt is sitting down and upset, while the dump truck worker looks on at the children heartbroken. "I'm just doing my job" she tells herself.

It was the idea to have the top of the castle on the dump truck that really cracked me up, and having the flag in front of the children actually made me feel really bad while setting it up.  : (

It's one of the stranger photos I've taken so far, but I like how it turned out. A mixed bag of emotions, while still being funny in its own twisted way. :lol:

Gorgeous sets.  (note to self: I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIT THE CORE ONES. I CANNOT GET INTO MORE)

I love the 123 kids with animal print shirts.. those have eluded me so far... but patience is a virtue, right? Right.

Fight the temptation! Though I won't be making it any easier for you. :lol:

Photo #6: The Ultimate Water Park!



This is assembled from various 1.2.3 and Junior aqua sets. If I were to combine the aqua sets I have, this is the deluxe set I would sell. It comprises of pieces from all five 2020 aqua sets, and Ariel's shell shower from this year.

Of special note is the man wearing the feminine hat in the duck boat. It was supposed to be a woman that came with the set, but the wrong hair style was put on the figure, making him a man instead. I also had this happen with regular Playmobil where a young boy came with girl hair instead. I'm not sure how common this is, but it's cool either way. :)
