I stumbled across a site today that shows pictures from boxes and other official Playmobil images - so - time for a new topic!

The site can be seen here in it's full glory:

http://www.play-original.com/Galerie-des-scenes-boites-playmobil

Some images really stand out for me (even beyond the others!).

Such as this one of the GREEN Bakery(!) - note the hand-made clothes line:





I'm not sure what it is with green, but check out the colour differences here and the light green for this house:




Check out the early discovery of the need for items at the Bakery:



and here (note real pretzel hanging from neighbouring rival baker's shop to attract customers and all the red houses - before there were red houses for sale, decades before):



I thought this one was kind of neat too:

Thanks for posting those!  8-)

I remember from my childhood the last pic with the spacecraft-construction (a production-line before the robotic era I guess  ;D ) and also the (white) bakery-shop with the bread. The red house showed up in some pics decades before a version of it got actually released (on collectors' requests), but that green bakery is completely new to me.  :o  Also can't remember having seen those different shades of green in one and the same pic... ???

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

There is a great one with the western blacksmith too, and one with a carcrash where a clicky seems to be talking passionate to the cop (likely saying it wasnt his fault.)

These are great, I love thiese things. Worht a look at the site - also check the other playmo galleries there. The one for Saint Nicolas lez Arras - I think I've seen some images of this show before but I don't remember seeing the fantastic Mongolian diorama (most sheep ever) - or noticing the use of a longboat with the covered wagon top as an Asian riverboat. Some brilliant stuff there

Thank you for posting the link. I love these dios.

Boxes should go back to having this kind of pics at the back!

Or at least a revival/collectors batch.  ;) ;) ;) ;) ;)

Lovely artwork nice colourful pictures of village life, I can remember the old homemade clothes line from the catalogues when I was a kid normally with the Victorian Mansion I think in my day. My favourite photo has to be the one of the guys assembling the space vehicles something about it very simple but, striking I've gotta agree with Tonguello I think it's areal pity we don't see these sort of photos on boxes and in the catalogues nowadays all preinseted backgorunds and sutff like that these days  :(
