Strange things:
Schaper horses (USA), including one with no head,
Strange yellow flowers
Tan stetson
Yellow helmet (white version of accessories may come from COLOR sets)
Bubblehead on antennas
Beige canoe
Stickers tepee when there is no tepee, as it comes along with stickers for the... brown canoe
Many hints shows that some or all parts are coming from playmobil subcontractors as Lyra and Schaper... I therefore believe this barrel is a tentative from Geobra to sell out all stocks of old components they bought back from subcontractors when they took over production on their own in these countries.

Very informative review on a rare item! Thank you for showing us this different rare find, sweetking!

Wow! I 've never seen somrthing like that! I would have said it was Lyra's.
Why is the beige canoe weird? Aren't they all beige?
The headless horse... taht is weird! :lol: :lol:
Thanx for the review Sweetking!

Thanx for the review Sweetking!
The canoes were firstly beige in the 70s but became brown around 1982/83 (at least in Europe)... and the stickers you can see on the picture match really with the post-1983-brown-canoes. Stickers in europe for beige canoes were presenting a triangular red-white-blue pattern.

Amazing find Arthur!!! It reminds me the Lyra buckets!!
So maybe your verdict on the origin of your bucket is very close to the truth!!!

A very interesting review, Sweetking. Thank you. :wave:
-
That's pretty cool. I would have really had a lot of fun with something like that when I was little.
How much did they originally sell for?
There's an idea - a thread on comparison of prices over the years of new Playmobil in stores from various countries in various decades.

Thanks for the nice review Sweetking.
The headless horse... taht is weird! :lol: :lol:
I agree...I thought it was the "Horseman" that was headless!

Hi Sweetking,
Very nice review of a very interesting set.
I suspect you may be right about this set being a means of offloading old stock.
Another curiosity: why do all the firemen have peg legs? ???
Cheers,

well spotted !
That is one of the thing that make this set marvellous : figures inside have few or nothing in common with picture outside... the four all-blue klickys are replaced by pirates... the green and white cow-boy is replaced by a brown bearded yellow and black klicky coming directly from Ngorongoro... an so on

That is really awesome. It' like a little playmobil time capsule. Thanks for showing it to us!

It was sold for around 300 or 400F as far as I know (as the shop converted the price roughly from Francs to Euros). I didnt mentionned it first, but I bought it for 50€ in a small shop in a small town, where I could also find a space rover (Playmospace), a crane vehicle and a snowplow :

I will give the adress to nobody, as I am not yet sure to have taken everything... (do not dream anyway, there is neither victorian box nor the robin hood feast.. I wouldn't have let them in the shop)

:) i found one for sale - http://www.kijiji.it/annunci/giocattoli/palermo-annunci-cefala-diana/playmobil-fustino-ciindrico-art-3955/37852057 - if someone's interested.
:) or even introduce it in klickypedia (nobody remembered to)

Wow treasure trove :o or indeed as others have said time capsule any kid would surely be over the moon about receiving this. Such an interesting assortment of different figures and all very bright I was also curious as to why the Firemen all had peg legs surely not very practical for putting out fires unless it's the Pirates next cunning disguise ;) I didn't fully take in the headless horse first time :lol: poor thing thought it was just being petted backwards.

That's fascinating, sweetking - thanks for posting, and your detailed photos. It's probably not a useful exercise to make an inventory for 3955x - Deluxe Klicky Set (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3955x) since as was said, it's likely to be a grab-bag of random bits. I would like a clear scan of the sticker sheet, though... I think it might have originally come with 3483 - Tepee, Totem Pole Plus (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=3483), and looks like it has a part number. If you open the Playmospace set, I would love to see that one too, since PlaymoDB has almost no info about it.
