Title: Mysterious new female, possible ice princess premium
Post by: PlaymoWitch on January 25, 2016, 03:42:23
Where is the silver and white female figure from? Is it another possible Snow queen variation? Perhaps a premium or give away item? She has the same snowflake print on her torso like the ice princess from 5354, but it's not blue. I am obsessed with the snow/ice princesses. Please Help!!

If I was guessing, I'd say she's probably a custom (a nice one)

I don't think so, it looks as though the silver is plastic and not painted. Ans the snowflake appears to be stamped on.

I've been searching Playmodb and can't come up with anyone matching her (I'm horrible at using "find a Klicky" though) including a standard set search. Heather is normally pretty good about having sets up to date, hopefully she (or someone who is better using the database than I)  can find the answer.

I hope so, I'm ordering a few on ebay (hope I win), cause they could be a good base to make some ice maiden warriors for my snow queens.

I have noticed that Playmobil has kind of gotten, and I hate to use the word, but seemingly lazy when it comes to premiums and giveaways, using either full figures re-released with minor changes (crown, accessories, etc) or basically mixing up several figures together, making rather awkward looking fairies, princesses, pirates, etc...

But I can imagine they would make a new figure just for that..maybe it's a new magazine exclusive figure, if they still do those. I hope there's a matching snap on skirt out there.

Is the seller from Malta?

I agree though, here torso is gorgeous!

You're probably not that bad at using find-a-klicky, leefert - the data is not anywhere near complete. It's the biggest job of all the PlaymoDB maintenance. However, I did go through just now and made sure that all ladies with evening gloves were so marked...
PlaymoDB Who's That Klicky: Arm_style = Long evening glove, tapered to wrist (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/whoami.pl?arm_style=long%20evening%20glove%2C%20tapered%20to%20wrist;)

... and that there weren't any female klickies not added that should be, at least not of that description.

She's really pretty - good luck!

I would hope that if she was a Toy Fair promo that they could have dressed her better than that plain white skirt.

Has anyone been able to come up with an answer as to who this mysterious woman is?
Title: Re: Mysterious new female, possible ice princess premium
Post by: PlaymoWitch on January 27, 2016, 04:15:27
Well, didn't win the auction (by like 1 dollar, damn!) But I'm gonna see if the seller has more. I believe they are infact from Malta, a few of the sellers I deal with on eBay are from there.

I don't think the white plain skirt is how she's supposed to be, I'm sure there is a more interesting skirt that snaps on, and some kind of crown and perhaps more.

I hope I'm able to get more, and see the original one as well.

nope, she isn't from the 2016 Toyfair giveaways  ;)
Title: Re: Mysterious new female, possible ice princess premium
Post by: Klickteryx on January 29, 2016, 03:44:49
Not in the new novelties catalogue either. Could be a promo figure for some company I guess.
Title: Re: Mysterious new female, possible ice princess premium
Post by: GrahamB on January 31, 2016, 16:52:15
It's the torso we are really talking about here- those Maltese sellers often combine the parts they have and make a presentable klicky - like this one- which isn't a combination of parts found in any actual set. (Mind you, some of the combos are, frankly, weird!).

This torso may be from a forthcoming klicky or a special promo. Could it also be from a run of the 5354 ice princess figure where silver plastic (instead of the correct pale blue colour) was used in the mold and then printed, before being rejected in a quality control process? Maybe that's a bit far-fetched as an explanation, but parts do appear in Malta which never appear in the official markets (e.g. The yellow version of super 4 Alex's black hair, for example)

If the sellers klick those.. well... some frankly need glasses! Actually, I doubt it - the same weird combos appeared in several sellers in different countries...

(waiting for the ladies, I hope :-[ )

I wonder if her silver color is the base torso color. I hope so. I found out (the hard way) that the bright gold on the golden queen is painted over "normal" "dull" gold....

I think those would be awesome to clean. I have plenty of metal male torsos, but no female ones...

If you are after one, I think it can be arranged - though I am really not sure if I popped them all or not (and I don't have the large skirt)

I could care less about the large skirt, as I have other ideas for the legs. I guess you can add one to my growing tab! Lol

Quick! That is the counterpart of McDo here in town. I can get some if you'd like  :)

Thank you - personally, I  don't need the full klicky.. but.. is there a list? Or is it just those 4 (half) in the pic?

I think it's going to be just those four. I'll have my eye out for it.

Edit: It's all quite confusing. In the reactions to the Facebook topic, PM says there will be three figures (a bunny, a farmer and a female farmer, if I understand correctly) from March 15 to March 29, then from March 30 to May 16 there will be 6 princesses and 6 knights to collect. If I see a list, I'll post it here.

Okay, so, here's a link to all of the Quick restaurant PM giveaways with kids meals:

http://nl.familyquick.be/family/lila-lucas/menus (http://nl.familyquick.be/family/lila-lucas/menus) (you need to scroll down a bit)
They're packed in plastic see-through bags that also have a tiny 2015 Playmobil catalogue inside.

They're making it quite difficult for an adult collector though! The restaurants I've been to (four so far) all have strict orders to only sell the clickies at kids meal prices (€4 and a bit, I need to check again to be sure and the darn price cannot be found on the internet). On top of that, they only have one male and one female clicky available per week, no stock of the older clickies, AND every restaurant seems to have different clickies available at different times.
Why, Quick, why?!

Anyways, have a look and let me know if you'd like any of these (if you're willing to pay shipping for them too).
I'll do my very best to get them for you, but I can't promise anything.

So far I'm looking for Daniela, leefert, tahra and GrahamB.

Maybe they take inventory of the toys and not the food? That could explain why they insist on selling the figures at the same price as the meal. :lol:

The bill has the food items with the prices next to them, and then the promo Playmobil figure marked as €0  :)
It's probably about inventory, yes...

You're quite right, I had thought about that. But although I don't mind explaining that I'm a Playmobil collector, I would feel rather silly handing out junk food Magic Boxes (minus the toys) to people I don't know. And I can't very well give them to children, what would their parents think?
