Title: Monkey or Chimpanzee head removal ?
Post by: Rasputin on November 15, 2008, 20:08:39

They are called both Chimpanzee (3892) and monkeys (3496) on Heathers site but no part #  . I am looking for info if anybody has ever taken his head off ? I thought i read in the collector that they are made in one mold process and i can not figure how to take him apart ? I want to just rip his head off  >:D as it looks like a ball joint but want to be able to put him back together .

Hi Rasputin,
I just had a good look at a stray Playmobil monkey,
and it looks like they can not be taken apart without damaging the torso.

You could carefully cut the head off with a razor saw, That would leave a smooth surface to reattach the head again.

Just a thought,
Jimbo

I agree, they're not designed for head-removal. Or arm or leg. Or tail.

No part#? What's this, then?

30 04 1780 - Chimpanzee (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-04-1780)

I just added it to 3896, you really didn't see it there before, but it was certainly in 3496 and a bunch of others.  I agree, 3496 needs its set name changed.  I blame Collectobil and my copying en masse :)

The third digit not being "5" or "6" tells me it was cast in one piece.  There are very few parts with moving sub-parts that are like this - a curiosity!

For some reason ( blindness, tiredness, laziness, some kind of ness ) i could not find it  8} probably just my craziness   :P

I was very surprised and knew i was not looking in the right spot . I would never doubt your hard work and thoroughness :wow:

I ought to say, Heather, you need to get out more, but I'm going to say, stay in and work on that database, it's awesome!
