Toys Inspired by Playmobil
« on: November 28, 2012, 22:11:07 »
I came across this:

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/506191608/Self_installing_palace_beautiful_luxury_castle.html

If you scroll down you can see a lot more sets by this company - I wonder how they connect together?

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

They dont seem to know much about scale either, so my gues is that they arent too bright.  :-\

oh, this is bad news....it means Geobra might not even want to sell in China....and it may mean there's now one less reason to make Asian themes to attract their kids....

those who buy these cheap copies might not now be the right customers anyway and when they realise there's a Geobra with a world of beautifully produced Playmobil, they'll want to own these 'originals' when they can afford them later....and head for "Hamleys" so heads up! ;)

That ship is laughably small. How could the figures even sail on it? :lol:

 :lol: :lol: imitation is the highest form of flattery. These are quite ugly though and makes all the crazy geobra colors look sane  :P

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
