Anyone have this guy? He is only found in set 5950 (Pirate Ship, White and Red). I can't find a decent picture of his hair- is it a short ponytail or a long ponytail? It looks long on this picture, but no other figure has a long ponytail in this colour as far as I can tell.
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Hi Graham -
This ebay listing has zoomable photos of the 5950 box - if you zoom in on the fifth picture, it's possible to see this guy from behind (I think it's him, anyway) in a photo of the box edge:  ebay listing for set 5950

Hope this helps!

Thanks both! How did you find that picture Indianna? I often want to see the backs of klickies, but very few promotional photos show this. That one (a side view) is spot on!

Hi Graham!
I'm glad the photo link was useful.  When I am looking for info on any set (after checking the usual places, such as Playmodb) I just google the word "Playmobil" and the set number.  I got lucky this time as the first result I looked at was this ebay listing - it's not always so easy but this method often gives me the info I am looking for.  :)

I did just that, but your eyes are obviously much sharper than mine!
