I wasn't sure where exactly to place these. This section does state 'photos' and these are not photo stories nor are they of my personal collection so ...
I know there was a thread a while back about old photos of the dioramas shown on boxes but I could not find that with the search engine.
So, if any mod wants to move this please do so.
On with the cool old pictures!!!
Let's start with some colouring ones:
-
Playmospace ones.
-
Some early city ones.
-
obligatory message
-
Catalogue images
-
1977 ad.
-
Here are some ads for/from the USA. Note how minimalist they are.
I wonder if this is due to the 'advertising standards' involvement and they were afraid of "misleading" ads of parents complaining they did not get "everything pictured in the ad" in the box?
-
Some more minimalist type ads for/from the USA
-
I wonder how much trouble they had with Fisher Price over this ad?
-
Outstanding , thanks for posting !!!!!
-
Wonderful vintage ads. Thanks for sharing :thanks:
-
Great ads!! Thanks for sharing!
I think they are ok here...
-
Yes, thanks for sharing! It's great to see all these old ads.
I think it's ok here, or maybe the playmobil common room....

:wave: hello wesley myers,
:wow:thank you so much for all the pictures.
8} i confess i was confused with this add (see picture) and somehow thought that somewhere in the world playmobil had produced a gigantic fortress.
:-[ then i relized this was taken from a multi-brand catalogue and that only 2 of the pictures belong to playmobil.
:-[ i still amaze myself with the belief that there is always the possibility of knowing about an older and "exotic" set unknown to me.
it is rather strange because i am sure i know most of the pirate sets ever produced but i still have the hope of knowing a new one that somehow escaped all my investigations.
sometimes this actually happens - not in the "gigantic" scale but in a "tiny" one, like the u.k. all-white promotional set from the 80's.
:love: when i "met" sir pleamo's incredible work - http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=5760.0 - this feeling that a lot is possible grew much stronger.
:love: ... and knowing the 1st playmobil shop in europe - http://www.playmobilbutikken.no/arkiv.php - made me think on going into the catalogue collecting.
this would be another source just to be sure that "nothing" from the past misses me.

A PlaymoSpace advert.

Thank you for the links! The online catalogue collection is great! I will have to add it to my 'favourites' and let my daughters look through this (after I'm done!).
The link to the System X designer wanted thread is a thread I had never read (the title maybe was a bit misleading to me and I thought it was asking for someone to design stuff). I think that's great too. That would be fun to play with. Heck, seeing as though I have not had the time to read most of the threads on this site, I wonder how much fantastic stuff there is to discover yet.

bb, did you notice the lion taking the Africa explorers picture? :lol:
-
No, I hadn't noticed BB! :P That's really cute! Good eyes!

I like those advertisements for the Color-sets a lot!
Remembers me of my childhood, I had several of such sets, mostly pirates and soldiers. :love:
The Napoleonic War diorama is awesome! 8-)
Lately I've been moving stuff from my dad's house to my own and I found on the attic 2 cannon-horse-carriages (like the cannon-pulling carriage from the 70's/80's Western Theme) from such Color-sets, sadly without the horses and their equipment.
I'm thinking of spray-painting (at least) one, to fit in with all my other non-Color Playmo... ???
