new sets for 2008 - april / july

[Richard]

Huh, for some reason my picture didn't work.. thanks for posting it Richard!    Nice eye for spotting the piano Little Jo... can't wait to see better pictures of the sets.

You are very welcome, Hopputussa ...

Happy to be able to help out!

And, yes ... Jochen has very "nice eyes" ...       
(My own stupid "jokes" really do crack me up!) ... 

All the best,
Richard

Is there any more pics from the catalogue?

[Timotheos]

Wow the church is exquisite!  After I kick out the modernites, it will look passable for my medieval village.

Since PM is showing it isn't afraid to wrestle with religion, maybe the medieval monk will come back.

There are some really nice pieces there for next year.

I like the sea explorer sets in particular the boat with the mini sub. The boat also looks just like a few of the last remaining Fishing trawlers I see in Grimsby dock.

I wonder if the new barbarian looking figure is a Gaul chieften to go with the sets available from DS Germany, there could be other sets on the way.

The Church is a rather odd theme to create but it does look a really nice building and Dawn is very interested in the brides dress. Turning the airport taxi into a wedding car is a strange choice I would rather of seen the old Victorian car with a canvas type roof in red added to make it appear like a Rolls Royce in either white or silver.

OMG!

I'm in shock.

I absolutely adore that church!!! The stained glass windows and pews look beautiful

And I can't wait to see the white grand piano in detail. How cool is that?!

The new sea animals are awesome, and I'm pleased to see a new fairy will soon become available too! If I'm not mistaken, she appears to have pink hair!

the sperm-whale (english name for portuguese "cachalote") leaves me with happiness tears in my eyes...
 

I always wondered whether cachalote meant something in Portuguese. You will eventually be able to change your avatar to a Playmobil sperm whale pic to match the name.

Thank you so much for posting the news and the catalogue pics here!

i think i will keep my avatar sylvia.
the cachalote (serm-whale) is one of my favourite animals.
although i wasn't yet able to dive alongside one (they are quite shy and dive instantly when i try to get too close) i think i look a bit like them - overweighted and with only one functional nostrel (in both cases the left one).
maybe some custom-artist will be able to build a moby-dick scenario with this new animal.
there are ships to build a pequod, figures to build captain ahab, ismael, queequeq and the rest of the crew.
there are parts resembling harpoons and now, with the new 4444 set, there are boats capable of hunting white sperm-whales (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=1802.0).
could it be that playmobil has some herman melville fan working on their design department?

[Martin Milner]

Wow, the veil of the bride looks beautiful. And finally we get a priest (so I can delete him from my customizing list  )

I'm a little disappointed in that priest, the white collar they've used doesn't look much like a priest's dog collar to me. I think they could have done better (and I'm sure Playmo-customisers will.

Like Tim, I may well get a church to add to my medieval theme.

I like the 2-man underwater sub.
