Title: Bobby
Post by: Tiermann on December 06, 2009, 02:01:24

This one was a surprise. I actually never thought I would have one of these, but lucked out on an eBay auction for $15 USD including shipping. Older Specials can go for way more than that, and this is one of the rarest Playmo figures out there. So I am very pleased

Here he is with some firefighters Gordon sent me some time ago.

Congratulations, Tim.   :wave: You really got a bargain there!  :wow:  Now if you can get hold of one of the early nurse and ambulance crew figures you've got all the emergency services covered.

(I like the addition of the dalmatian.)

 :o Er is the Bobby really a hard to find figure? Please dont tell me it's worth much! I've just used it in a conversion job as a Victorian Police man!

The helmet is rare, the rest of the figure less so, but it's nice to have the whole original figure together.

Hello Tim  :wave:

   Congratulations on your rare find. The Bobby Klicky rarely ever shows up on US auction sites and you are lucky to find him. I know how thrilling it is when I finally get a figure that I have been looking for and one finally ends up in my hands. Those old Klickies sure were simple designs.

I keep reading posts and realise that I have a lot to learn, Like Emma I didn't know it was hard to find; I've had one for ages - came in a lot of mixed pieces and figures off ebay.  also the nurse.  Perhaps we should make a list of what's hard to find in differnt countries then we can look out for them.

Aww, I love that you've given your fire team a Dalmatian.  :love:  Playmobil should release some fire themed sets with that dog.  ;D
