The tall unit is unique to this set

I have issues with the girl's red dress! It's gorgeous and I love the idea that kids can be dressed now. But they put a girl with pigtails on either side of her head together with a dress that is incredibly difficult to get on, and off. I STRUGGLED, and I'm a Playmobil veteran! Why did they do this?!

Good point, Birdie. I haven't tried getting the dress on her, but it sounds difficult!

I tried it and got really stuck- I couldn't get it over her hands with them raised up. My wife suggested putting it on feet first (with the arms down), which was MUCH easier and the pigtails didn't get in the way at all. My wife is a Polly Pocket* veteran, a different skill set was needed here! Should have been in the instruction booklet  :(

Thank you so much for the tip! I was hoping you'd be able to figure it out ;D For me it worked over the head with one arm up and one arm down, but barely.
