Violent Playmobil.
« on: November 21, 2005, 17:38:22 »
I collect my Playmobil MISB and pay a lot of attention to the small scenes printed on the boxes. On one of my Pirate boxes set 3480/3051 Pirate crew released in the 80's I came across what I consider a fairly nasty little scene. It's probably not a very good thing to put on a box for a toy thats aimed at kids 4+, holding a knife to lady klicky's throat, so how do you think Playmobil got around this, I'm not showing you the full image just yet.

I'm only human, born to make mistakes.

Those old box scans always crack DH and I up, just because it IS supposed to be for kids 4 and up.  I will say, though, my 3 year old is pretty blood-thirsty ;)

Then I guess I won't say anything about the old quartet-game I have with pictures of bloody bandages... ;D

MBL,
You can dont have to say a thing, just post the pictures  ;)

I do enjoy the older boxes for their dioramas.
There is a lot of fun detail in them.
i wonder what happened to the people who created them?
