They already denied on Facebook that they are in partnership with Funko "Playmobil Hello David, at the moment there's no cooperation and the figures shown on the picture are not confirmed. Thanks for your feedback. Best wishes, your PLAYMOBIL-team smile emoticon"

 :crossed: :crossed: :crossed: :love: well see  ;)

Sure wish i was allowed in the exclusive club  ;) :lol:

Peace  :love:
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

That's not in the "exclusive club," it is on their Facebook page
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

I feel quite confident these are real, and it's simply a matter of scale/material/articulation. 

I would not be surprised if they are larger, vinyl, and/or statue-like.  Because Lego, Mega Bloks and McFarlane have licensed several of these properties, they may have exclusive right to the scale or style of toys that would normally be produced by Playmobil.

I was pretty excited to see them, yet I do share some disappointment over Playmobil jumping into the realm of licensed characters.

it would be great if they were the same scale so we could use them in our dio's as long as they were not counterfeit (without the foot stamp) but would totally understand from geobras perspective if they felt is was a problem. I vote 3"  :love: with a Chinese foot stamp

So it's confirmed, 6" figures which makes them pretty useless in an actual Playmobil collection.

And they look off. The legs are all wrong, I think.

Good.

Just sayin.

(besides, none of those licences mean anything to me, thank the gods)

Ugh!  I don't know what to think about these...anytime companies move towards licensing agreements it is a bad sign imo...

I wish they would be normal sized, then I might actually add some of them to my collection.
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

Completely useless ugly things.And we must find out about it on Facebook......
This again shows the complete disregard that Geobra AND the PCC have for their buyers, fans and members nowadays.
I'm so sorry to have to write this.
