I can't wait to get these! :love: I think my favorite is the girl with the fruit basket on her head! :lol:
-
I love the female violinist :love:
-
Nice, interesting choices. Now, if I could only get some Series 3!
-
I love the female violinist :love:
Could have her as a student busking in the vacation on a street corner.
-
The new hat on the pink princess looks cool. And I really want the female archer! :)
-
thank you George for the pictures

First figure in the first line looks to be like an ancient Greek.

A mongol, maybe? Has a "chinese face", no?
-
The girls ones are pretty (some of them, anyway). The boys stuff: zzzz.

is the violin black?? ???
-
is the violin black?? ???
I'm guessing it's supposed to be an electric. Really though, it's a viola. I don't care what Playmobil says; it's much too big for a violin.
-
Fantastic series. My top figure is the ninja. I hope that the mouth won't be visible through the painted mask.
Without wanting to sound like a spoiled brat, they make me wish they'd skip series 4 and sell these figures right away. ;D
I might have to get a box of each. So many interesting characters and individual pieces.

Noooooo!!!!!!!!!! There are a few of Series 4 I really want. I'd be on board for skipping the boring ones though.
-
Some really interesting boys figures there!!! the alien and viking are my favorite!!! The mongol warrior and the ninja are also interesting and cool!!! The astronaut can be used for some space stories ;D
-

Could be. It's hard to make out in that picture.
-
I like a lot of series 5 and will get most of them all, boys and girls.
One question? The 3rd male on the top row. Is he a miner? The helmet and the face mask make me think he is but why does he have a wood ax? Miners do not cut trees ? a shovel or pick would be right if he is a miner.
I know its trivial but how would the samurai fans think if the klicky came with a pirate sword?
also what gun is the cop holding, not the pistol but the other one, is it new?

I think the miner has a pickaxe..
And the cop has a machine gun...
And both have THAT hair. ::)

Sofar, such pictures from Surpise Figures series 4 and 5 have only been made available through the confidential download in the PCC, so maybe this thread should be moved from the general area to the members-only area (to avoid trouble like on KW) ? Though I guess if the pics originate anywhere else then the thread could remain in this section...
-
Is the viking wearing the diapers?
Is the space suit new or is it the same as the deep sea diver?
The other space man has a very smooth head, is that a black swim cap?
I really also like the green archer girl but to me the glove color/tone looks not as good as it could have. I do not even think there are many other color choices to use that look like that. I think I will just put flesh colored hands on instead of the long gloved ones.
I also like the girl with basket, can you tell if the fruit is the same as the brown horse poop variety? The basket almost looks round so how would they fit or is it a new shaped fruit?

I guess the Canucks are the lucky first ones then ;) , thanks for the link!
They haven't been added on the other sites yet, not even on the German one.
At the moment (monday 14th Jan 04h57) on page 1 of the German online catalogue you still get to see the "old" figures series 2 and 3;

Btw, the new French 2013 online catalogue, including the new Alpine Mountain Theme, was up on the French website for a day but it has been removed again...

Just had another look, and I noticed above the pics of series 4 it says "new 01/2013", which if correct would mean that series 4 would be released in Canada THIS MONTH, thus one month before the release in Germany (and elsewhere I assume), which is scheduled for february... ???
On the other hand, above series 5 it says "new 08/2013", wich is one month later then the German release planned for series 5... 8}
-
also in the new US catalogue, release date 01/2013 ...
:banana:
-
Is the viking wearing the diapers?
NO. I think it's cavepeople legs :love:
Is the space suit new or is it the same as the deep sea diver?
I always thought he's meant to be a diver.. looks just like the yellow one. Though I suppose he'd fit right in with the astronauts.
The other space man has a very smooth head, is that a black swim cap?
I believe so :) All the series must have a freak - what in Hades is THAT supposed to be? Parts, I think.
I really also like the green archer girl but to me the glove color/tone looks not as good as it could have. I do not even think there are many other color choices to use that look like that. I think I will just put flesh colored hands on instead of the long gloved ones.
I LOVE HER. But the cloves are COMPLETELY off in color, I think. A real shame. I think you are right - bare arms will look a lot better. You guys can probably send me all repeat archers :love:
They haven't been added on the other sites yet, not even on the German one.
I'll never understand that.
-
I asked in the PCC about the release-date(s), and from Playmobil's answer the conclusion can be drawn that 01/2013 for America is a little overambitious because of all the logistics involved...
-
Playmobil has been saying February 2013 on the facebook page... so my guess is perhaps beginning to mid-march :lol:
EDIT: Just noticed that this topic is series 5 not 4... they are saying series 4 in february so i'm guessing that the "June" that they have labeled on series 5 will turn into July or August... personally I hope series 6 waits until 2014... :-[
-
Hadoque, I'm shocked we were first. I really hope that January release date is wrong. Series 3 were a couple of months late here (Nov instead of Sept) and I'm still looking to complete my full complement of Grenadiers and Dwarves. I really like some of the figures from these series but I think PM is putting a little too much product out there. From my point of view I am having a really hard time. Not so much with buying them but with getting them in to the rotation without spoiling the kids.
-
There seems to be something odd going on with the release dates listed in the Canadian catalogue... Most themes are listed as released in January - Dinos, Western, Dogs - or August - Cargo, Police, Hotel, Agents2. However the web site has different dates! Jan: Dogs; Feb: Western; March: Police & Dinos; etc. So which is right? Maybe neither one? There are no dates for the Fi?ures on the web site so we can only presume that, based on last year (as Ds Dad says), series 4 will be out in April or May and series 5 will be out in September or October.
I'd say there is still time to get more of series 3... though Toys-R-Us here ran out of them last month and I'm hoping they will get more in. My local toy shop only gets in one order and they're all gone now so they'll be getting series 4 next. I still need to get a couple more dwarves/dwarfs and a few others.

I too think they come out too fast, it is getting hard to keep track especially with all the ones I & the kids want repeats of. If a local store or even TRU has a limit to boxes you can only get so many in your area. I am sure there are many in series 1,2,3, and soon 4 & 5 that I want many of but cant find them through traditional means in the US. If Geobra sold them to pcc members in clear bags I know I would spend more over all on them. There are so many that we like but we do not even want to take them apart due to not having lots of repeats. Unless we start buy full cases many times we never get around to using them as they were intended, customizing.
-
I agree they release them far too fast. I wanted a bunch more dwarves. :(

You forget - playmobil doesn't want to sell more. That'd mean more money. You know how they feel about that! :P
-
I managed to get all that I wanted from Series 1 and 2, but Series 3 went far too quickly it seems. :( I don't mind them releasing new figures so quickly, but they ought to keep the older Series in production too. They probably don't want overlapping in production though.
-
We still only have series 1 in TRU over here, if you can find them.
-
I'm still looking for some Series 3 figures, and Series 2 is all I've seen at TRU here.
-
I'd really like to get that archer lady, and perhaps the viking too.

Well, you guys know where to send extra archers. Hair not important. ;)
-
The more I look at this series, the more I'm thinking of buying a case of each.
I'm sure I'll find some use for my doubles.
-
Lovely sets but i still find it sooo sooooo annoying they are sold the way they are . i want 50 of those vikings for example >:( >:( >:( >:(
lovely klikcies, love the indian girl and many others !!!!
-
Despite wanting many of the mystery figures, and multiples of some, I haven't yet bought a single one due to how they are sold as unknowns. I despise this concept.

If you are willing to pay a premium there are normal brick and mortar shops who have web stores who sell them identified
-
Thanks, Rasputin. I'll look into that. Paying a premium is better than buying a bunch and ending up with ones you don't want.

Thanks for the pics!
Where are those from? They have stickers and such - not the final versions...
LOVE that archer... :love: :love:
-
Thanks George! The Asian warrior with that helmet... wow! And the Ninja :love:! Interesting dresses of the females, the woman with the basket on her head is my favourite, with the archer! Can someone tell me, that alien.. is that a real yellowhead alien or has it a regular head?
-

It's strange that they display such crude figures there... Hope there's a disclaimer about them... I mean, the final ones are MUCH better!

They are in the iberian printed catalog... Of course, not sold by them - they don't like money!
-
The photos were taken by Playmo-Family (Ute), she visited Toyfair this year. They are posted at PCC also, and I assume there will be more coming of other themes. There's one of a police speedboat and armored car set we haven't seen before also.
-
Very nice pictures indeed, thanks to Ute :wow:
Is the police boat diffrent than the harbor one?
-
I wish stuff was easy to find on the pcc - thanks Tiermann - I'll look! ;)

That is a bad guy boat if anything, a drug running boat not a police boat. Very silly use of the race boat
Is the truck now blue?

yeah, the policeboat looks more like those used by the cartels for off-loading larger ships ???
The limited-edition SWAT-vehicle is indeed blue, instead of black as the US one (it probably was a last second decision not to do a pink one this time ;D )

Of corse, I can only upload 20 pictures per day :(
I was invited by Anna to visite the Toyfair :cheerlead:
As I had enough time to take photos I used the time to full capacity ;)

It had to be nice, if you ask me before you take my photos. :glasses:

Can you give any details about those new fairies? We're DIYNG to understand what they are! Are those new legs with skirts that don't move?
GAH - this is driving me NUTS! :P

I'm so sorry. I didn't notice your name and I was so excited with the pictures.
It was a mistake, sorry about that. :wall: If you were a monster, probably I was be dead now. :giggle: It will not happening again. Anyway your pictures are very nice, well done Ute. :)9
Friendly George. :*)

Great photos looks like they've done a good job on some of the girls liking the look of the alien so far as well as the miner and the ninja although not sure whether I'd buy them I've just got to say it though the Astronaut looks so fat in his suit I like him though :lol:

I know that other people do have difficulty identifying the figures in the bags but, personally I just look at the picture ont he bag of the ones I want then try to feel for the ones I want by feeling for a piece which'll be unique to that figure so the bearskin for the Grenadier Guard, shield primarily for the dwarf, hair and cape for Elvis etc. if you're not sure feel for other pieces to help confirm it. Some figures are easier to do than others but, if you can fidn a shop where you feel able to take your time you should be able to find the ones you want in my experience and I enjoy the excitement of finding out afterwards if your guess is correct, so far got 6 out of 6 right, of course this doesn;t mean everyone'll have the same experience though ;).

The packets are so puffed full of air that it's impossible to tell what's inside.

Try to get one of the smaller pieces to fall into one of the corners. Swords or headpieces or tiny accessories work well for this. :)
-
Great photos, and they're all sooooo beautiful! Definitely going to need all of these, too.
-
The packets are so puffed full of air that it's impossible to tell what's inside.
I really have to say that I have a 100% accuracy rate on "feeling and identifying" the bags, it really only comes down on concentrating on one or two distinct parts of the figure one's looking for.
You have to take your time though, don't try to rush through the box!
Good luck hunting!!! :)
-
You have to take your time though, don't try to rush through the box!
Unless you are just building up armies of one or 2 figures... then you can rush through the box pretty easily... Beefeaters are probably the easiest figure to find so far... provided that the store has any... that hat is very distinctive.
-

Me too! I haven't gotten one wrong yet. You just have to be really patient.

Wonderful photos - thanks so much Ute :wave:
I have only bought two series one figures in the flesh and managed to get two that I wanted. I did think that the TRU staff were about to call security though ;D

The archery girl reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence in the film "Hunger games"....

A shame they gave the viking a diaper instead of a real belt.

ohhhh i love those 2 workers on the top right and the hairdresser girl.
Going to buy her for my wife as a present! (she's a hairdresser with her own company)
-
Me too! I haven't gotten one wrong yet. You just have to be really patient.
:yup: Indeed I always have those dubious thoughts in the back of my head is it right but, I try to find a piece I'm certain on then confirm it with more pieces so like I got a Roman, Wizard and King from Series 4they've all got cloaks and and the Wizard and Roman cloak feel similar but, you can feel the Romans headress, sword and curly hair piece, and the Wizard you can feel the staff and the beard and stuff, I can remember feeling for Elvis and I kept finding Aliens instead I knew that because they were the only 2 with cloaks but, kept feeling the square helmet finally I found Elvis's hair yay! ;D I've had 100% accuracy as well just gotta take your time and try to feel for the distinctive pieces if you're not sure just keep feeling or try another bag and come back to it :)
-
can be a pain to get the ones you want yes, tried getting the king of series 4 and thought to have felt his cape but it was the legs of the clown. :( Can't use that clown at all.

Dang that's a bummer must have been weird legs then there's certain ones I'm not to bothered about and the clown was one of them perosnally could feel the legs felt longer, I've got to admit the girls in this series look really good the boys eh don't really excite me to much could go for the mechanic, and the puffy astronaut, alien not sure policman I don't have one like him so maybe the others look interesting but, not really my thing :)
