Novelties 2020: Jul-Sep

[Hadoque]

Thanks for the news and the link, Heather! 
(I´m not visiting Cakebook lately and I don´t Instacook, so without the updates here I´d be missing out all the news.)

The horses of the Scooby Doo Western stagecoach have the wrong saddles!!

Well noticed! 
Hmm... The set looks nice but I think I´m gonna pass on another variation of this stagecoach, otherwise I may end up with a traffic-jam in the Wild West wagon-box.

(who'd have thought that the best way to reign in their addiction to crazy colours was TV tie ins?!)

    Scooby Doo is ironically sobering.

That snowball fight set is super cute (plausibly Victorian children)! https://playmodb.org/setpics/7/70260.jpg

looking forward to this one. The superstructure should be Steck compatible, right?

I'd be surprised if it were.

I think it's part of the Heidi stuff, so they are meant to be Victorian

That never crossed my mind - what makes you consider that?
(wallet shudders at the possibility)

Well, at the spot where the mine superstructure stands the same baseplate accommodates Steck walls in others sets, such as 6627:

Oh.. you may have a point - though it's done in a way to fit NOTHING else...  Still... if it fits there, stands to reason that the bottom will be steck compatible indeed!

Nice catch!

We are very happy to see Josef in the Heidi set - didn't manage to get him, and really don't want to buy that BEAUTIFUL huge expensive system WHY house thing...

Not only that, but I think the Heidi sets have produced the first ever brown/wooden bed in Playmobil history? (maybe an expert can correct me...)

I think the Heidi snowball set has brown squirrels, which is new I think - though I didn't know brown squirrels existed, so maybe they're actually red.

I think it's been mentioned elsewhere, but is the rule that you can order spare parts from the licensed sets but not the figures? I definitely ordered parts from Spirit house, so I hope that's the case
