Pictures of the Mexican National Team available

This would point to at least the German Team plus the 3 host countries (USA/Canada/Mexico)?

Did you see the Canada team somewhere?

I would like to get the goalie and a player from Mexico (well, and every other team that shows up).. I don't know if those are availble worldwide..

Neat. It looks like they modelled the sword on this statue, a big zweihander. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Totnan#/media/File:Kilian_kolonat_totnan.jpg

Found out today that Imagur and some other photo hosting sites are blocking all their hosted content from UK based IP addresses because the cost of verifying that there is nothing that would fall foul of the Online Safety Act would be more than they make in the UK.

Ah, profit before safety.

That looks like a great set!

The sword looks to be new in those colours as well.

Get yourself to beautiful Wurzburg for the annual German Catholic Congress and you can pick up this set of Saints Kilian, Kolonat, and Totnan and their boat which brought them from Ireland (based on the model I guess they had some miraculous help getting across the seas)

Some lovely figures, and I don't think we've had a bishop's hat in purple before (I don't know what it signifies in the Catholic hierarchy).

Very broad range of sets there, wonderful to see them all displayed together.

Thanks for reinstating this topic, Jim! Unfortunately its a palaver to view the images ihere in the UK, as discussed elsewhere, but worth the effort!
I wish I could go to one of the many Playmobil Expo-Vente events held in France, Spain, etc.

Yes, UKfire13, I am sure you are right and this is affecting images posted on Playmofriends, including the emoticons! This doesn't happen using a VPN connected to a non-UK host.
