Title: Items in an ebay lot
Post by: skypurr on September 03, 2010, 15:02:08

This may be the wrong place to post this because these aren't Playmobil but they did come in with a load of Playmobil figures and parts.

The writing underneath the canoe says MS TOY with an emblem and MADE IN GERMANY, and the same emblem and woes MS TOY are on the figure's feet.
I have put a klickie next to the figure to give an indication of size.
The small ridge under the canoe looks as though a motor could be attached to it.
I have googled 'MS Toys' with no success, but thought maybe someone here would know something about them.

Hi Elaine!

After looking at the bottom of your kayak, I thought it might say "M5" instead of "MS"  - I checked google but that only yielded a lot of BMW car results.  ::)  Even selecting those out didn't give me anything useful.

Whatever it is, the quality seems quite inferior to Playmobil. I hope someone can solve this mystery!

I wondered about that too Indianna, but I think it is MS.   
I thought that one of our German friends here might have been able to help me.  ???

Seems to be an old competitor of Playmobil:
