Title: Two - almost impossible to obtain - figures in Germany
Post by: David on November 17, 2005, 10:48:01


 The two figures a princess and a knight are free with two products in the Wella " Lifetex Kids" range, which can only be bought from hairdressers. Not every hairdresser has them.

Nice figs! I expect they'll reach quite high prices on eBay, especially if they are as hard to come by as you say. :(

Could you translate the promo blurb on that page for us if you have time? :-*

I also like them. They are a bit simple, but that is what make them special I think.

I like the knight (and I notice his hair is very smooth, and luxurious  :P )

I love the princess the best...beautiful blue dress and a  comb! But the prince is also quite handsome. Yes, someone is going to scoop up these and make a killing on US/UK ebay!  :-\   They are lovely.

 A German guy at the Playmo Forum wrote that he rang round 30 hairdressers before he located any figures at all!!

That makes them rather more expensive than the price of a bottle of shampoo, then. :P

David,
how many hair dressers would YOU be willing to call?  ;)

I like both figures.
The female has a comb and arm puffs in a new color.
The male has new hair.

Do they have advertizing printed on their backs?

That prince is rubbish for the Knight's theme.

 To me he looks more like a Superhero figure with that V shaped collar and matching cape. Seriously take a good look at it, take of his crown remove the sword put a big letter P on his chest and he then becomes Playmo Man. The figure then wouldn't look at all out of place stood next to SuperMan or SuperTed you would think that they had the same superhero Tailor.

 I like the princess though she's not too girly and fluffy bunny looking, it's always good to get another  female figure for the knights theme because there are just not enough of them.

Hi friends... I might be able to get 8 times the prince including two hair products per set.
I am not sure yet about the exact prices, but it will not extend 16 Euro plus shipping (per set)...

AND... the shampoo is having a tasty coke-smell that disappears soon after application.
(So the rumors at the german board... ;) )

Here again is a link, hannibal opened one:

So, if anybody is interested, please contact me as soon as possible...

best regards,

Just to update on this... I will get the 8 sets if required, three are gone already.
This means, 5 are left.
The good news is that I will get them for definitely less than 16 Euro per set,
the bad news are that there will be no shampoo with them but the two other
products from the series, which is a "styling gel" and a "anti-ziep-spray".
 :)

Okay, let me try to explain, what might be a "anti-ziep-spray". It is a spray that
is preventing any pinching during combing the hair of the little ones...  :hmm:

So, here Playmo is helping me to explore sides of this world I would never have
been into without my beloved toys...  8} ;)

;D

I think this is what we would call a "detangling spray" in English. I wonder if it has an unusual smell like the shampoo... 'fanta' or 'sprite' perhaps? :P

Thanks for offering to help out the other members, socrates. :-*

Those of us blessed (or cursed) with children with thick hair are very familiar with detangling sprays :-X

No, as far as I understood the description, it is all smelling like coke...  :D
To be honest, I really never knew about the existence of something like a
"detangling spray" before...   :-[

I just wanted to remind you that I will be able to get the wella prince!

4 would be still available, so if you are interested, contact me before thursday,
as I have to arrange the deal.

I will NOT buy them all, only these I already know, who is going to take them.
It doesn't look like I will get my hands on more than these...

So if you are interested, contact me asap...

best regards,
socrates

I am interested in having one of each figure. :)
Do you have any idea how much it would cost all together including postage to the UK?
Title: Re: Two - almost impossible to obtain - figures in Germany
Post by: socrates on November 30, 2005, 12:44:27
Sorry, Sylvia, but I got only hold of the prince.
And the prince will be about 22 Euros including shipping, pretty much
for a single klicky...  :(
(ohh, and of course including the two wella care-products!  ::) )

Wish I could do it socrates, but it is a little too steep for me... especially since I don't need the hair care stuff. Thanks for the offer though!

Ok, thanks for the info, socrates. :)
I'll have to decline the offer too, I'm afraid. ;)
It's A shame they don't offer to sell these separately like Nordsee are doing with their promo sets. :(

Post by: socrates on November 30, 2005, 16:37:51
Red and Sylvia! Hhmmm, you're right, these little fellows are pretty much expensive.
(as long as you are not in need for cans of detangling spray anyway...  :P)

I get the sets from someone who had to buy them with the care-products, so unfortunately
there is no klicky-only option...
sorry my friends..  :(

Socrates,
If you are able to find the princess, you know I am still interested, right?

Hi everyone!

Shall introduce myself eventually (bit busy, 4 a change)


Got the 2 figures last month. It's mostly their promotional aspect that interests me. The 'prince' looks like he's wearing pyjamas. Her dress looks pretty much like a nightie too.
Still give u that 'got-to-have" them feeling though   ::) ;D
