Welcome! / Hello from France
« Last post by HuggyBear74 on July 20, 2025, 04:53:10 »Hello,
First of all, I'm French, please sorry for my maybe horrible English (my translator helps... sometimes).
I live in High Savoy country (not far from Mont Blanc and also from Switzerland).
I'm 57 and my passion for Playmobil isn't very old, dating back to 2021. I mainly collect old-west Playmobil, which I often customize radically. I sometimes do exhibitions with friends.
I virtually cross the Atlantic to share my passion, some to meet other enthusiasts.

I haven't had the time or money for Playmobil, and tracking down the Tinti sets wore me out on toy collecting for a while. That being said, I'm coming back to it now that I've got more free time and money again. I'm going to finish posting about the Tinti sets, and then there will be more to come.
It's been so long that I've forgotten my usual writing style and formatting for these posts, so bear with me as I get back into the swing of things. For our next set, let's look at the cheapest of the Tinti sets.
On the surface it doesn't seem like much, but just wait until they get in the water! The Playmo kid has an adorable jellyfish shirt, and rocks the new hairstyle found in the Junior sets. She doesn't interact with the other toys in any meaningful way, but she's still a great little character. The real star of the show is the big purple jellyfish.
Unlike some of the other aqua sets, the jellyfish floats just right with the big bulb floating up top for the girl to hitch a ride in. They look so happy together!
When the girl goes home though, the purple jellyfish is content to swim with its little buddies.
As is fairly standard for Playmobil Aqua creatures, there's a little hole for water to pour out of. The cool part comes with the big purple jellyfish though!
The jellyfish fills up with water through numerous holes in the bottom, and pulling it out of the water gives the illusion of long jellyfish tentacles! It looks genuinely cool in motion, and is a really creative use of the aqua branding. It's easily the best water interaction of the three Tinti sets, though the same cannot be said for the colour tablets as they don't interact with the jellyfish in any meaningful way.
This is one of my favourite aqua sets just for how cool the effect is, and it's more affordable than the other Tinti sets if you can manage to track any of them down. This set gets a big thumbs up from me!
