They're coming thick and fast this week!

Is this a new body type? I'll admit I had never heard of Kneipp, but a priest in full cassock must have a lot of uses for people (even if he, sadly, can never sit down  :lol:)

Yepper! I hope we can figure out where to get him; I want a bunch to give to my priest friends.  :lol:

No, it's Stoick The Vast's torso... maybe even ragged and all?

I see customs potential.

What is going on with that dog? Badly colored with pen?  The black mark on the head? Want the figure of course, if for no other reason than to see what the dog really looks like

Can you please tell me where did you see that? I found nothing  :-[ ::)

Maybe a group order?

Thanks! If only because now I know why the Kneipp Verein in our street is called what it is! (It's a place organising walking trips). I hadn't heard of Sebastian Kneipp before.

... maybe even ragged and all?

I bet you it is. No new parts are ever commissioned for exclusive sets, just colour and print variants. Mozart's wig is the one and only exception.

I don't necessarily want one of these but don't mind doing another group order, provided I get to know where one can obtain them. I won't be entering the Kneipp Verein, I tell you, and would be quite surprised if this exclusive ends up Playmobil's own web shop. Sebastian Kneipp is just ... too niche.

I never heard of the guy either. Nice parts... we'll see.

Supposedly it will be on the site? But I didn't find any international shipping..

Like Schiller and (especially) Erhard before him. Yes I know I'm an ignoramus, but I wish the people commemorated were more widely known. Even limiting the choice to Germany and Austria, there must be a dozen composers (for example) who are better known than these three (I've said that before.) At least each composer could be featured holding a musical instrument rather than just (as with writers) a pen!

But, of course, many promo figures are commissioned by people who are interested in a particular historical person, however obscure.
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)
