Superb! :wow: He really has a knack for customising using only swapped parts. :yup:

I think his results would convince even the most hesitant collectors to start disassembling their klickies! 8-)

I wonder if Ralf will eventually go to the next step and have a go at painting the figures too. :)

Since he is an accomplished artist, Sylvia, perhaps just exchanging parts to create what he wants may actually be more of a challenge for, Ralf ... ;)

But who knows ... ???

Certainly not me ... :)

Another one that I would buy.

I like the challenge he has set for himself by only using swapped parts.
They give mere lay people a chance to see what can be done by using their imagination

Do you all know this person? Do you know the story behind his cool playmobil inspired wallpaper (or paint?) he has put pictures of on his web site? Is this is a public space somewhere?

I think his artwork has only been exhibited in Germany so far. One of the murals shown on the website is in the paediatric clinic of a hospital, so that is a permanent fixture. Some of the others probably are also. 8-)

Some of his paintings were on display at the Speyer Museum in 2005, as part of Playmobil's 30th anniversary exhibition.  A more detailed list of his exhibitions can be found on his bio page. :)

Those are great. I hope there will be more Egyptian things to go with the new Cleopatra in the Ancient World theme one day. :)
