Not all klickies are smiling these days though. Some are now very weird

A shame people don't seem to understand the concept of SUBTITLES. Dubbing should be forbidden :(

What's weird to me is that they use customized (let's say not original) clickies and pieces :eh?:

Yeah, noticed a strange grey hat... Very odd.

Post by: Rasputin on January 21, 2014, 15:21:09: I thought I saw a lot of custom items. Its not a Geobra display so why not have customs. Even if it was from Geobra showing customs wouldn't it help advertise the Fi?ures concept?

Post by: tonguello on January 21, 2014, 23:27:56: yeah, but I meant "customs" as in pieces that do not exist in the Playmobil world.
like the romans with the green thingie on the helmet. I never saw that.
or the roman long circular horn/trompet.

I reckon that in an exhibit in a museum there should be only originals, but well, that's just my point of view.

Some "famous" collectors have a diorama set-up at the Speyer Muesum for Playmobil's 40th Birthday exhibition, these collectors were asked for this directly by Geobra. Some of them (or all, not 100% sure about that) got (t)asked to work out a display about a specific topic, so no surprise to see a lot of customwork in their dioramas.

Post by: Pippa on January 23, 2014, 03:51:13: Very interesting. Thanks for posting.

And I agree with Rasputin that it would be nice to have something like this in the US (and I also immediately thought of various figures with the weird printed faces, most of which I dislike.)

Post by: Giorginetto on January 29, 2014, 21:28:32: I would love to visit this place though i agree it should only be originals . and playmobil was wrong to make klickies without a smile and submachine guns. sorry i cant abide with these two .....
