Your underwater photos are great, Bill!  It makes me remember all the fun I had with my toys when I was little.  I'd frequently fill up a sink with water and toss a bunch of toys in though water did inevitable end up going all over the place and that activity was somewhat frowned upon.

I think there's no better way to enjoy Playmobil's underwater themed sets.  I've always thought it would just be kind of weird playing with them out of water.  ::)

Haha, not very big at all, Richard.  I didn't have Playmo toys to play with when I was little but had several other small toys and sets of animals that I loved to play with in water.  For a small child with a collection of small toys, an average bathroom sink worked just fine.

Now if I had had several of the Playmobil underwater sets as a child, I would have needed the bathtub to properly play with them!  ;D

I realize this is a very old topic, but I have to ask you, BB.  I kept an aquarium for years, and it's a lot of work, but I LOVED it. Been thinking about getting another one, and I was thinking of decorating it with playmobil. Only thing I was thinking was, doesn't playmobil float? How do you keep the blue rocks and all from floating to the top?

I don't mind at all bb. The divers are self weighted, & I hot glued the plastic rocks to the bottom to prevent floating. You can always modify & hot glue the rock clips to the bottom to remove the rocks in case of a severe algae outbreak leaving the clips still attached to the bottom. When I say modify the clips, they swivel, & if you flatten the round peg portion of the clip by cutting, grinding, etc., it can be attached semi permanent to the bottom.

Hm, that's a good idea, having the clips glued in, so you can take all the rocks out to clean. Do you think hot glue is safe for fish?
