Title: Novelties 2020 - first half
Post by: bml87 on September 14, 2019, 09:48:36
As many of you mentioned already, the references of the new sets were released on several media. Let's discuss the new sets here!

No official pictures yet, but a member of Klickywelt managed to show us some pictures. If you're not a member of Klickywelt yet, now is the moment! An overview of the new sets is listed on Amclicks as well (without pictures).

However, I guess we can expect some official pictures soon because I found a French website with the reference of series 17 already, check it out here: https://fr.shopping.rakuten.com/offer/buy/4078970840/70243-playmobil-figures-filles-serie-17.html
The German Amazon is also one of the retailers that has official pictures quite early after the word is out, so we should keep an eye on that website as well!

Some great stuff for 2020. New zoo has ring tailed lemurs and red pandas,  :love:  both of which look fantastic.
Back to the Future has a new paint dog variation. Really liking the ScoobyDoo series, figures are well done and there is a 12 blind bag series of ghosts that looks fantastic from what little I have seen so far. Not a super fan of that show but it's a really well done series and love Halloween so it's going to be a good one for me.

I guess most of the members here know me as a true Sherlock  :sherlock:

I hope to find pictures of the new zoo, but so far no results (guess they might appear on Monday, fingers crossed) and I have a busy day today! That's why I will post my thoughts of the new sets later, though I can say already that I see a lot of potential in all those figures!

The link takes you to page 3, where most of the pictures are (see P.2 for Everdreamkerz pics and p.5 for the Scotchman). The rest is people saying 'Wow!' in various ways, in German.

PS ignore this-bml87 posted much better pictures above!

Do you think it possible the Zombie might actually be this one?

I would like to say that I really like all the mystery figures! Great parts to customize klickies! In that point of view they really pleased me as a collector! Can't wait to start the hunt to find my favourite figures!!!

It's just a pity that you cannot close the tent completely, but maybe if you have a second tent (and depending on which material the tent is made of) you can use another half to create a closed tent...

I think so too, well done Playmobil! And I guess the hat comes in black? Could be dark grey as well. It seems to be the re-use of the mold (part number unknown) that was used in set 3467 from 1984:

Just a question about this one:

I lost track where they belong. Scooby doo, right? And do I remember correctly that the are disassembled "figures", and ... that they come in boxes? I mean, no more feeling up bags? :o

Thanks for the great pictures!
The sweets theme is actually pretty creative and holds together well as a theme. I think i will have to get them after all. More variety there than I expected.
17 is better than 18 over all but there are some good ones in both.
The Scooby Doo ones are specific to characters on the original show. I think they've done a nice job with them.

... that they come in boxes? I mean, no more feeling up bags? :o

The 9 additional "Candy"-figures that come on top of the 5 main "Candy" characters are a kind of surprise figures and do not come in surprise bags but in "surprise boxes". So no possible bags-feeling with those.

"surprise-boxes to collect"

18th century soldier with a bolt action rifle? Come on PM, it's like you're not even trying anymore.

Crazy indeed. Some years ago they did a DS-add on soldiers set, in which an 18th-century soldier had a Colt revolver sticking in his belt. Now a very similar "mistake". I think it is done on purpose to keep a specific part (in this case the rifle) around.

The soldier is quite boring btw, just re-use of parts from klickies in other sets that are (being) discontinued.
That green longcoat - with exactly the same print- came at least twice with a pirate. The only thing preventing doing him as a custom up-front, are his arms which aren´t available yet in that specific green with white hands (for as far as I can remember/keep track).

Oh my, what a gorgeous sight! Thanks to your informant and thank you for sharing, tahra!

The Candy characters are most definitely unique, I like them more than I thought I would. Mrs Milkshake looks perfect as she is, and there appear to be plenty of interesting and out-of-the-ordinary parts to be used in customs.

The Scooby Doo characters are a nice bunch; is that a new beard piece on the prospector?

There are interesting new ideas among Fi?ures series: the gamer, the she-troll, the pirate lady, the bass (?) player, and the bagpipes player are total standouts. The new headset on the gamer has my attention.

The soldier is quite boring btw, just re-use of parts from klickies in other sets that are (being) discontinued.

Same with the policeman, I figured it would have a different torso print as was the case with the S16 one.

I hate all these blind figures, I usually have bad luck whenever I buy them!

That's why I spare me some time and buy them from eBay!  ;)

Tahra, do you have (such good) pics from some more novelties as well? Like from the new Pirates sets?

No, these are the only ones she took, unfortunately..  but. a LOT better than before! :)  We have gawked at them for quite some time by now..

Since we know nothing of those Scooby Doo things, they are all parts - some GORGEOUS amazing parts there! :love:

Don't worry about this one!!! It is an exact copy of what happens in the cartoons. The beard is taken away in the cartoon separately like it can be detached from the Playmobil figure. I guess Playmobil did this, so children don't have to lift the hair in order to take away the beard in case they want to play like it happened in the cartoon ;-)

Is it obvious I watched all Scooby-Doo chapters when I was a child?  :P

Monsters or villains that will be part of the first batch of the surprise bags of Scooby Doo. I was a able to recognise most of them:

GIPSY
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/5/59/Gypsy_%28A_Gaggle_of_Galloping_Ghosts%29.png)

BLACK KNIGHT
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/6/62/Black_Knight_%28What_a_Night_for_a_Knight%29.png)

GHOST OF CAPTAIN CUTLER
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/f/fd/Ghost_of_Captain_Cutler.png)

PHANTOM (in set 70287)
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/3/3e/Phantom_%28Hassle_in_the_Castle%29.png)

MINER FORTY-NINER
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/d/dc/Miner_Forty-Niner.png)

WITCH DOCTOR
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/6/69/Witch_Doctor_%28A_Tiki_Scare_is_No_Fair%29.png)

GHOST CLOWN
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/6/68/Ghost_Clown.png)

ZOMBIE CREEPER
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/0/0a/Creeper.png)

SPOOKY SPACE KOOK
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/3/36/Spooky_Space_Kook.png)

SNOW GHOST
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/d/d2/Snow_Ghost.png)

GHOST OF ZEN TUO
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/f/f3/Ghost_of_Zen_Tuo.png)

HEADLESS HORSEMAN
(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/4/4b/Headless_Horseman_%28The_Headless_Horseman_of_Halloween%29.png)

One is not clear, which I think will be the Caveman.

The one that I couldn't recognise before appears to be the

INDIAN WITCH DOCTOR

(https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/scoobydoo/images/7/71/Indian_Witch_Doctor.png/revision/latest/top-crop/width/360/height/450?cb=20130112030230)

It seems that all the figures come with a small "info document" with the names of the villains / monsters.

Ah! Thank you for that. (always good to have an expert!)

In that case, I take back what I said - I believe it is playmoperfect for it! :)   (though personally, I'd prefer a regular beard, since the character has no meaning for me..)

Forgot to add this earlier: if my eyes don't betray me the miner might have the "Norman" hairpiece from 9461 in grey – now that would be a great addition, too!

Is it obvious I watched all Scooby-Doo chapters when I was a child?  :P

It kinda is!  ;) And your knowledge is most valuable, indeed. The possibility to reenact a "And I would have gotten away with it too..." moment kinda outweighs the cons of having the beard snap around the neck!

It might be very good for that specific figure, but less "enjoyable" if they´d start using that beard more generally.

Of course. I do think it is perfect to represent that...

But I agree with you - all the more because I don't know or care about the characters, and so have no qualms about keeping them like that - we already agreed all of those "ghosts/monster/weirdos" in the ScoobyDoo theme are parts...

Unfortunately, my sister likes many the weirdos from the candies and those idiotically named ones original, or almost...  ::)

The new candy and scooby series look awesome.
Clown and mouse lady in series 17 would be my favourites, bagpiper from series 18. Series 18 girls just look blah, lots of weird ones but no really interesting ones.
The ewok cosplayer in series 18 boys is definitely different.

Thanks for the additional pics from the Pirates Theme.  :)

Concerning the ship, really stupid the ship comes with red masts and a red bowsprite, if they had been brown it would have been much nicer (and more realistic) and it would have provided people with broken parts the chance to repair their 3550s and 3750s.
That they left off the spanker on the aftmast is enoying as well. I suppose it also won´t come with a bell like on the 3550s/3750s... metal you know. But at least it has a cabin again.

When was the last ship with rope? It also doesn't have the cargo arm so I guess these are now just aimed at younger kids than they used to be. No pulleys to hold the sails in place either.
Giant skull and swords on the mainsail also makes it only a pirate ship.
The one thing they do these days is have shooty stuff on everything, even rafts. I would actually liked to have seen a smaller canon mounted on the railing somewhere like on the railing somewhere near the wheel.

Concering the bigger ships (twomasters), the 3940 released in 2000 was the last one with proper rigging.
It´s variant 5135 from 2011 had just 1 rope, connecting the 2 topmasts with the bowsprit.

The set list has 21 numbers, they show 9 so there are 12 more sets not shown. Plus there is one of the new starter sets that is zoo themed and the figure has the red panda on the shirt and hat.
I think the giraffes are a new color of yellow for the base this time. The alligator is definitely a new color variant.
A few new animals in the 123 including the duck ride and ducklings, and a new small octopus. Not sure about the fish but probably new color variations there.

The reason why not all the pictures of the new zoo are released is because of their different release dates (source: Meinspielzeug.ch (https://www.meinspielzeug.ch/875/playmobil-familyfun-loewen-im-freigehege-70343-385873.html)).

Not really. A few useful parts for creating some customs, yes. But as a whole, the soldier looks wrong and awful, imho.
It´s like they mixed parts from a footsoldier with an officer. And again he too comes with a wrong (19th century) rifle.

Whoo! Where to even begin?! First of all, thank you bml87 for all the info! Now for my thoughts:

I was very skeptical of the new pirates, but I was actually impressed! I'm not a fan of the pirate's sails, but they brought the cabin back! And a new lady pirate! The soldiers' ship looked pretty good to and they had sort of new figures as well. Even a dark-skinned one! The new "island" set seemed fairly new, but I personally would've preffered a new building.

I was very, very unsure of the Everdreamerz. I liked the concept as I'm a real sucker for candy-themed fashion (no pun intended). Yet, it just felt weird fo it to be coming from Playmobil. Then I saw the figures and now I'm HOOKED got dangit!  >:( Guess I gotta get them all!

Now for the blind bags....I LOVED them!  :love: This looks like a REALLY cool batch! With new and interesting concepts instead of (to my knowledge) recycled ones. Like: a male fairy, a dark-skinned female fairy (here's to hoping for a male one), a forest witch(?), a female dwarf, new ball gowns!, jester!, tall female clown, and that bear thing?.

Overall, things seem to be looking up so far! Here's to what the New Year brings!

That must be either very affirming of very annoying, Tiermann!

Can you post a link to show your version?

They also stole the Ewok in Fi?ures Series 18 boys!

I noticed that the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine is currently in stock at some Argos Stores in the UK, I didn't even know it was available anywhere yet???

You are right! https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4664040 (https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4664040)

But at £50, I think I will wait to get a better price!

According to the BleedingCool website the Scooby Doo sets are available at Walmart in the US starting in January and they have an exclusive until May when they go to general release. I checked Walmart online and they show them in stock at my local store. Will check this weekend.

Thanks!

Can confirm, ordered the 2  Scooby Doo sets and they came yesterday... they did a nice job overall... Fred's ascot/collar is an odd choice though.

Or am I wrong?

Playmobil posted on Instagram with a Heidi photo and I asked if they were going to release the Heidi series int eh US. They replied that no it will not be coming out in the US. So if we are wanting sets from the theme we will need to buy from overseas I guess.

I figured that Heidi wouldn’t make it here since the last mountain rescue series didn’t.  I guess I’ll have to trust Amazon for it.

James, think Sir Troy would get it over here?

I'm not surprised, but very disappointed. I don't think the cartoon is well-known here.

Does the current generation of American parents not know the Heidi story?

I have no idea about that.. Here we used to watch the cartoons (prettier, imo, than the current ones, but that is probably nostalgia) when I was a wee cub...

I don't think Heidi is popular enough in the Anglo-sphere to merit a toy range without the cartoon to back it, so it depends on the popularity of the cartoon (if that makes sense).

It could also be a licensing issue.

My sister was a keen Heidi fan, although that was in the 1950s when it was a book with words.

Haha, I had a Ladybird version as a child but I definitely wouldn't say it was widespread for my generation - I don't remember the plot really. I think my Mum read the original and said she found it pretty hard going (although she might have been talking about the sequels which are by a different author).

Probably they think "Heidi aus Tirol" is a German X-rated movie  ;D

I don't think we had Heidi cartoons when I was a kid, there was a tv series (movie?) with real people in it I remember though.

Yeah Heidi's not known in America, by young people not at all. I'm saddened by PM's decision here but I can't blame them.
