Hi there, Gyps!  :)

Welcome from the USA. I know you will enjoy it here. I like your avatar, the Snake Lady is one of my favorite figures. 8-)

Hi Gyps,

 I worked out it was you from your username, it's just a bit shorter than before.

It's good to hear from you again.

I still blame you for my obsession for Playpeople, after looking at your site and wanting to find out more about the Littlepeople. ;D

Thanks for all your help in my early days of searching for info on Playpeople and letting me see the letter from Norman.

Hope you enjoy it here and stay around for a while.

 Garry.

Oooo! As if you needed to blame anyone for your addiction!  :o It would have got you sooner or later anyways  ;D

Thank you, kind Sir (I see you've been knighted, so best to use the full title so I won't get into trouble) - and I'm sure I will... Playmofriends strikes just the right note... friendly, enthusiastic...I can see I'll learn muchly while I'm here :D  Thank you for all the warm welcomes  :wave:

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.

Robbie, I can take no credit at all for the avatar - it's a stop-gap one from the site's provided ones (did Sylvia design these?) but it's so nice I may just keep it :D

As I recall Sylvia "made" the ready-to-go avatars from some of the excellent photos on www.collectobil.com but I'm not sure. It is a lovely one and as Robbie note, one of the best figures.

You sound very well informed about Playmobil. I'm happy to make your acquaintance. :D

That's right, I did. :yup:
Some of them I edited slightly (eg. the midnight witch) because they didn't fit the shape or had writing across them. The romani one had part of the Playmo logo across the top of her headpiece so I painted it out. I was keen to include her because she's always been one of my favourite figures. 8-)

The only avatars that weren't sourced from collectobil images are these 2:


They come from photos I shot for playkingdoms. The custom figures in these 2 pics were made by Sir Brian (aka "Corkscrew" at playmoboard). ;)
