My 1st ever Klicky (recreated)

Via the magic of eBay, my first ever Klicky (on the right)



OK, this isn't actually the original one, but he could use the same passport photo. This one's actually reborn with parts from 3 other Klickies, with the hat, scarf, gunbelt & colt matching the original setup. I'm going to keep this one as he is.

I carried this little guy's twin around in my pocket for a couple of years, and he eventually developed a stoop (which I now know how to fix, thanks to Garry).

The annoying thing was the hat. It looked the same back to front, so it was easy to try to put it on wrong (especially when you're eight). Do this even once and you've mashed up the hair in the front, and it's never the same again. It's clear from various old Klickies I've seen that this was a common problem, and Geobra eventually realised their mistake and got rid of the notch in back of the hats - but the groove in the back of the hair remained part of the design quite a bit longer it seems.

My red and white cowboy had a companion, and I don't know why red/white won my affection over white/green. Maybe he was just first out of the box.



This was the fun of old style Playmobil: cowboy in the morning, construction worker in the afternoon. Cowboys and Indians could swap sides with a quick costume change. Of course the knights came along with their silver bodies and spoilt all that, though I had a few armoured cowboys on occasion too.

Wow, I feel really bad because nobody has responded to this.

Mate, it looks great.  ;D

But seriously, I know what you mean.  My Cowboy Deluxe Set has vanished.  But the pistol belts and sombreros (red and a yellow one) made my day when I was seven.
