On a sadder note, I had an email off Moira, Norman Brown's wife, (founder of Playpeople UK and instigator of the British Bobby figure) to say he passed away this year in November - a sad loss to the Playmo world.

 That is sad news, in some ways he was like the UK version of Hans Beck, I guess in time more and more people will realise this as they to become addicted to Playpeople.

I'm only human, born to make mistakes.

From the northern US (Wisconsin)
A big welcome to Gyps

I do not know much about Playpeople so I will have to visit you site to learn more about it,
but I do have a prized English Bobby

I am sorry to hear about the death of a comrade who did so much for Playpeople

Hola, Aleon ...

Lo siento. The Sauvage webpage se fue ... :(

Julie (Gyps) no tiene tiempo sufficiente.

She is a teacher and has a new boyfiend, So, she had to make a choice.

Maybe someday she will be interested in Playmobil again.

I too hope Julie returns to us again.

It was her site that sent me on the trail of Playpeople all those years ago.

Hello, Garry ...



I too hope Julie returns to us again.

It was her site that sent me on the trail of Playpeople all those years ago.




Both Julie and I copied all of her Playpeople pages before she shut down her site.

If there are enough members interested, maybe we can host Julie's Playpeople pages somewhere.

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard,

 It would be good to keep Julie's playpeople pages alive somewhere on the web.

Aleon, I still search for information on Playpeople and I have just made a great discovery but I will start a new post in the collectors corner pages.

"Gyps" is not Julie Shepherd. They only share the same first name and have different surnames. :)

Sorry to say I have no idea what Hollygolightly is up to these days. I heard she sold off quite a lot of her massive Playmobil collection a few years ago, but then she did return to Playmoboard for a brief while after that. She was also a big Lego fan, if I recall correctly.

From what I heard from Nessie (who still has some contact with Holly) she's given up Playmobil and has gone over to the other side  :o (Lego that is). I do miss her - she's very witty and definitly spiced up the forum  :-[
