Hi everyone! My name is Ben and I will share from now on my collection with you.
It is a perfect timing as I just made a Novelmore diorama on the Expo in Roeselare Belgium. When I was young I had a lot of Playmobil, but in 2013 I sold everything... My Playmobil collection started in 2018 and today I have 2512 figures. I will share some of my purchases and the growing of my collection. I collect the Knights, Novelmore, History, Ayuma and Zoo themes, Magic themes and also licences like Volkswagen, Dragons and Heidi. I often share pictures of my collection on Instagram too: Speedybenplaymo.
I will also share the part numbers of unknown parts (till now) that I found out about :)
First I will start with that. As I bought a lot of Griffon Knights of the Fi?ures Series 19, there was a body (30634342) and arm (30282810) missing so I have those part numbers, just like the legs of the minstrel (30647836).
This made it possible to make some customs ;D

Monday a DS order arrived with the snake and the peacock of AOA Ayuma.

The snake really is enormous! It has also a lot of "thorns" and the peacock has a really nice print :love:

Well, that's it for now :)
-
Hi Ben,
Your custom chap looks very dapper.
I like the snake -- thinking it could double up as a Harry Potter basilisk..
-
That's a great picture of the Griffon-knight-torso guy, Ben.
Presumably you requested replacements for the missing parts from your Series 19 figures and picked up the part numbers from the invoice sheet when they arrived? If you email the numbers to Heather at playmodb@gmail.org, she will surely include them in the DB (or she may see them on here and pick them up that way).
2512 klickies! That's impressive!
-
Very nice, Thanks for sharing these. Does the snake have the wire or metal insert so it can be bent into different shapes? They had the large red one before that was that way.
-
Thanks for sharing :)
That snake is GORGEOUS! :love:
-
Welcome Ben! I was in Roeselare last Sunday and saw your diorama, it was the first time I saw the Novelmore castles in real life, I have to say they are much bigger then I expected! Now I'm curious of your whole collection, over 2500 klickies... That's a lot! But I guess since you're collecting knights, you'll have many duplicates?
I didn't know they sell the legs, arms and torsos separately now as well... That must be a recent change?

Yesterday I have put my 2 Novelmore castles together as 1 big castle...
(https://i.imgur.com/VFkkn5i.jpg)
...but the table was too small :-[ so I still have some spare parts left. :lol:
(https://i.imgur.com/VXyja6W.jpg)
I watched the whole Novelmore series again yesterday and I can't wait for March 2022 to have that wonderfull dragon!! :love:
Next week the extra equipment of my skeletons should arrive and than I will take some pictures of my Sal'ahari Sands ;D

Yes I do have many duplicates for my Novelmore, griffon knights, fleur-de-lis, skeleton and orcs army.
I will post more pictures of my collection in the net days/weeks :lol:
-
I still hope that Playmobil :playmo: will release some Novelmore citizens as duopack or special plus or Playmobil plus set :klickygrin:
And I hope that there will be a Novelmore mystery boxes series 2! Hopefully with citizens, skeletons, Violet Vale, Novelmore and Burnham Raiders characters! Like Scribbles and Sir William Keene.
My Burnham Raiders castle is too small for all of the knights...
So, here is the biggest part of the figures

I assume you noticed that the Novelmore Advent Calendar for this year has castle wall parts in it? It's a bigger and more expensive one because of that but useful if you have that castle series. I got the Lava large castle but haven't gotten the main Novelmore one.
-
Thanks for the pics!
I love the look of the dark Novelmore castle, but will not get it, since it's system WHY (wallet rejoices). It looks beautiful though.
And I also love the klickys, generally (except the "gear" thing printed all over them) - gorgeous colors.
Looking forward to more pics!
I did a different skeleton army with a couple of surprise skulls and some extra parts...

As far as I know the Novelmore castles are system X (at least the main walls)... So your wallet might reconsider it...
Here's the manual: http://playmobil.a.bigcontent.io/v1/static/70220_buildinginstruction

As far as I know the Novelmore castles are system X (at least the main walls)... So your wallet might reconsider it...
No, the recent castles (since the first ones, and even those...) have system X bits, but are ,imo, basically system WHY, since they aren't really versatile. I hate those stupid walls - with the battlements included to me they are basically useless, since there's nothing else you can do with them :(
The large dark tower is especially gorgeous... but system WHY...
-
If I am correct, "System WHY" is not a term used by Geobra, but invented by Collectors (tahra, probably!), in parody of 'System X,' as a protest about building parts which can only be combined with parts from the same set, so there is little or no scope for creating your own buildings with them. They are sometimes joined with yellow and red connectors, as in System X buildings.
For anyone unfamiliar with English, the letter Y is pronounced the same as the word 'why,' so it's a clever parody! Why not produce more versatile pieces?
-
If I am correct, "System WHY" is not a term used by Geobra, but invented by Collectors (tahra, probably!),
I am 99% almost sure it wasn't me! :-[
But very fitting :(
-
My newest buys of Ayuma. The big tree is really really awesome. I watch the series every week and it is nice to recognise the sets in my collection!
I will post the coming days more pictures of my diorama's at home ;D

Great sets there, quite a few of those figures series knights you have. Interesting to see them massed like that.

Actually, it was Martin Milner who coined the term, but you embraced it enthusiastically, tahra! Here's your post from 10 years ago :) (https://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=9033.msg164223;topicseen#msg164223)

Thank you for this piece of history!
I was quite sure it wasn't my idea. But it's PERFECT.
(ah, I said that.. didn't remember :P )
-
Thanks for that info., Indianna. I will give Martin the credit he deserves in future!
-
No worries, Graham - that was slightly before your time so you probably wouldn't have remembered the origin. :)
I'm reminded that there is so much interesting history in the threads here at PlaymoFriends. If I'm looking to kill some time I like to go back to the beginning of a thread and read through to the present day - it's a nice way to see some old friends, too. :yup:

Thank you! Unfortunately no, it is not my zebra, I got to use it for the diorama, but I do think the zebra is goureous! :love:
-
Great display :)
Love the big zebra and the birdie too :love:
... where is that novelmore sail from? (my poor old head :( ) - I tried to get the fireship sail from parts, but at least then it came up as not available :(
-
Great diorama!!
-
I like the custom figures! That Novelmore sail is cool too. :)
-
Wait, there are giant PM animals? How did I not know this ??? :deco:

So many lovely animals in your diorama! It's nice that the giant zebra was there to accompany them, and the bird is a great find (I didn't know they existed in XL).
Is it just me or does the green floral wallpaper go really well with the orcs?
-
Tried customising with the head of the Star Trek keychain :-[
Very happy with the result ;D

I got also the new Ayuma magazine figure and soul animal, they are so beautiful :woohoo:

March is a very busy month with a lot of releases in the subjects I am interested in ;D
For now I only got me 2 of the Ayuma sets, the pegicorn and the one which is made out of steck!
(https://i.imgur.com/IGPAVDA.jpg)
-
Those are great! Do those rocks and that tree trunk have Steck connectors? Those would be new pieces I think?
-
The Ayuma sets are beautiful :)
Love the elf with spock's head, except for the metal thing on top :( Can't believe they ruined that hair...
Might get one myself, since I didn't manage to get my hands on any yet...
-

Yes, please elaborate

Hey guys I am back! :wave:
After building a "Dreamlands" diorama on the Playmo Weekend in Mol (I will share some pics soon), I am focussing 100% on Novelmore now!
I got rid of all of my empty boxes last week to have some extra space and change my home from museum to house lol and am selling some sets I have multiple times :D
I planning on renovating my garage to have new Playmobil room, where a Novelmore diorama will be!
I am working on my Novelmore castle and creating the Novelmore world irl. It is a big project but I ready for it.
Here are some previews ;D

Hey everyone!
My girlfriend and I have started a new diorama project, of 8m² which will be on the exposition in Roeselare, Belgium, later this year!
This will be my 4th diorama after Novelmore, Animalia and Dreamlands.
The diorama is a zoo/animal park, with many different animal species!
The diorama and zoo will be called...
Rainforestation Park!
(https://i.imgur.com/qnWKrM0.jpg)
I am very excited for the new project as we have been working very hard on the preparations!
There will be 5 "continents" in the park and at the moment the 2nd one is almost finished!
Here's a small sneak peak ;D
(https://i.imgur.com/f28sjhL.png)
Stay tuned!
You can see more sneak peaks on the Instagram profile of the diorama:@planimalspm

Awesome idea! :banana:
-
Judging from that preview, it will be AWESOME!
-
Oooh fabulous! Can't wait to see more :D
My daughter has that Ayuma academy and I've been eyeing it for its use in a zoo context ;D
-
It's looking great so far, I am looking forward to seeing what else you come up with.
-
Awesome idea! :banana:
Thank you! :thanks: At the moment, the 3 first regions are done, Asia, Oceantartica and Serengeti.

Thanks!! And it will be for sure hehe ;D

Nice use of ayuma parts for the zoo. I really like the bridge and I’m hoping that there will be a red version in the future. :love:
I also like the zebra heads on the wall.

I’m looking forward to seeing picture of your "Dreamlands" diorama.
The pictures of the new novelmore diorama look promising.
The second picture has two different colours of mushrooms in it. They look a bit faded compared to the rest. Are those from the new Wiltopia/recycled plastic sets? Do all the Wiltopia and other recycled sets (including klickys) look faded or is it just certain parts?
-
How did your Asterix diorama turn out? Nice to see a whole fence of those new pieces.

I will post pictures of my third ever diorama "Dreamlands" soon! Meanwhile I have been building a diorama called " 't Cruydt int Kasteel" in a real castle. The opening was on 13/08 and I have been on tv and in the newspaper since. The article was about the taboo Playmobil collecting and diorama building. It is not only for children!!
On 16-17/09 I will have my 5th ever diorama called "Rainforestation Park". It will be smaller than planned and won't included everything from the pictures that were posted before but I can assure it will turn out great! :love:
The mushrooms are indeed both of the PLAYMOBIL Wiltopia product range. Most parts look pretty much faded yes. :D
-
How did your Asterix diorama turn out? Nice to see a whole fence of those new pieces.
I had to remove it as I am doing some renovations in the new Playmo-room. The fence has also been used in 't Cruydt int Kasteel!

Hey everyone! :wave:
As you all probably know I am very passionate about Novelmore. That is why I made a petition, to release Sir William Keene as a PLAYMOBIL set, this to celebrate the 5th anniversairy of Novelmore in 2024. Playmobil won't do anything about the 5th anniversairy of Novelmore (in August 2024), and I want to do something about that! He was the storyteller, who was the only figure in the first Novelmore preview (https://youtu.be/TAP1fohr4qo?si=ytnRjHHQ_YboDV7_), and then appeared many more times in the Youtube series and the Playmobil Novelmore magazines. He would be an amazing expansion, whether you are a collector or a diorama builder. Novelmore has been the biggest theme of Playmobil in the last 5 years in my opinion and we can't let this event pass by. If we have enough signatures, I will send a very extensive email to Playmobil to explain the whole idea and I can present the petition. That's why I wanted to ask you to write down all your ideas for the set here, so I can take them into account in the email.
I will also post news on the instagram page @novelmorepm. A page I made just for this petition and meanwhile talk about Novelmore :love:
This is the link to the petition in different languages:
English: https://www.petitions.net/2024_playmobils_50th_and_novelmores_5th_anniversairy_sir_william_keene
French: https://www.petitionenligne.be/playmobil_50th_and_novelmore_5h_anniversairy_sir_william_keene

Spanish: https://www.peticiones.net/2024_50_aniversario_de_playmobil_y_5_aniversario_de_novelmore_sir_william_keene
Don't hesitate to reach out to me or share the petition! The more signatures we have the better!!! ;D
To all of you who sign for the set, thank you very much for the support! Together we can do this! :thanks:

Hey everyone!
After not being active on here for the last year I want to update you all on my collection and project over the last year!
In 2024 I focussed on my career as diorama-artist and not só much on collecting. But I did some great projects, with more coming in 2025! Here is a summary:
31/03-24/04/2024 - Discover and experience Laarne with Novelmore.
This was an event with 2 workshops, a Playmobil search thru the castle + town center and also 2 diorama's from 32m².
It was the best experience ever. It was not easy and also though but it was amazing :)
12/05/2024 - PLAY-URBEN - Urban Sports Event (Workshop)
1-10/07/2024 - PLAYMOBIL search @ Prullenbos (+ 3 workshops)
01/07/2024-31/03/2025 - Built for Gold! - Sportimonium Hofstade
Diorama and a PLAYMOBIL search with the theme "Paris Olympics".

I have also been following design courses this year. Thanks to these I have designed and 3D printed my own Playmobil compatible parts!
I created some small parts first in the Novelmore theme like a Gothic lantern, a waving flag, the stairs of the Crimson Caldera throne and the strategy table of General McGriffin.
But after my 3D Design course I tried some bigger projects like my Magical Library and Outpost Clocktower. The theme that includes these packs is named "MYTHS". This is a fantasy world which can be an extension to the current Playmobil parts and buildings and is System-X compatible!

I also printed this Gothic House + fence from Printobil (with my lanterns attached)
Printobil also made Dario Da Vanci's workshop for me. We brainstormed together (which was so amazing) and he worked it into an amazing building. Kudos to my friend! You can see the building in the Novelmore diorama in my last post!

I just found you on cults3d! :D I LOVE your items! (if that is indeed you on there) They seem so wonderful and totally match the vibes of the original, glorious Knights theme. :love: Now if only we could get our hands on accurately proportioned klicky models, then we'd be home set! While here's plenty of male parts going around, it's so hard to find any for females. Once I get the 3D scanning software working properly, I'll attempt o scan the hoop skirts and alter them.
I'm looking forward to your future exploits! ;)

I somehow missed this post
Wow, absolutely stunning designs and 3D prints

Gorgeous pictures and loving the 3D creations :love:
I will most definitely be following you on IG :wave:
