Title: What if Playmobil horses had moveable legs?
Post by: Timotheos on November 20, 2007, 03:22:47
I'm wasting words because Geobra isn't going to do it, but if you could redesign the horse, would you give it moveable legs?  I like less the wolves and camels with the moveable legs, because they almost don't look playmobil.  On the other hand, if the horse's legs could move, some modeling problems would go away.  Playmobil kind of clings half to tradition with the horses (only neck moves) and half to the "new wave" (it has a fancy look like the new line).

Can we get an executive on the line????

How difficult is it to get a job with Geobra?  As extensive as the PM collectors community is, why haven't we managed to sneak in a few moles?

Surely, Geobra doesn't do a sort of collectors' screen-out test?

Tester: "We're going to start a new knight's line with samurai swords and boomerangs, because we produced too many samurai swords for the carry-along pirate set in 2006.  The kids won't care.  What do you say to that?  Would you like to be on the team?"

Job Applicant: "I...  I... You can't... You...  Oh, my gosh...!"

Tester: "Gotcha!  He's a collector.  Get him out of here."

Bart who set up and ran the Collectobil site for many years eventually got a job with Geobra.

Hello, Tim ...

Unfortunately, your little scenario isn't very far from the truth.

Collectobart is a rare exception!

BTW, Bart still runs Collectobil (http://www.collectobil.com), even though he doesn't have as much time to devote to it as he once did .. ;)

It is probably safe to say, "Zirndorf loves our ideas, but is not very interested in hiring us."
(Or, as my grandmother use to say, "Why buy the cow if you can get the milk for free?") ...  ;D

All the best,
Richard

Hello, Rob ...

I got the same message that Gordon got.

It doesn't appear that Claudia wants anyone to link to her. I guess she got tired of all the eBay sellers helping themselves to her graphics.

please see attachments

I think they look OK.  No worse than the camel or zebra.

I think the best way forward would be to make a galloping horse and a standing still horse - Craig

GREAT IDEA, CRAIG !!!!

There is no reason for Playmobil to make only one horse (even though they may think that they have made two different horses simply by alternating the position of the legs) ... ;)

We all need to write to Zirndorf.

Thanks for a wonderful idea, Craig.

All the best.
Richard

They could incorporate a mechanism like the soccer players button.

Actually,the answer is rather simple.

If a Playmobil horse had moveable legs, then it wouldn't be a Playmobil horse  ;D
