Good afternoon dear Friends  :wave:

Here is a great little movie showing Giant Playmobil figures coming to the rescue of a beautiful "Damsel in distress" :

I counted 40 figures in that last shot. How big are the foil bags those figures come in?
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)

Wow, I had no idea there were so many different versions of those giant figures. They look very funny in this video. Lovely shots of the couple on the boat  :)

Karim,
Thank you for posting this, it was delightful, and wow, what a collection of the giant figures.  I must admit I held my breath when the knight fell, I did not want to see him land on any pavement.
