Promo Figures B2B Website

[Oliver]

Playmobil have launched a website for institutions/companies to access them directly about special figures

They seem to have been coming thick-and-fast recently, but I guess this might make it easier to suggest projects if they have a direct contact available.

It makes me wonder why they didn't launch a series for the 250th celebration of the signing of the American Declaration for Independence. A set of figures to include George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and Benjamin Franklin would have sold very well.

I think they're more responsive than active...

But I must admit I've thought about some obvious museum collaborations, and at least now if you contact them you have a obvious place to point them to (rather than 'I think this would sell, contact the local head-office and hope for the best')

I think I suggested this very idea a few years ago on this august forum. Such an easy win for PM...unfortunately I think they're abandoning the US as a market, so there's little motivation for any such effort on their part. 

A Lincoln figure for the never-to-return American Civil War theme was another missed opportunity.

Fascinating,under "All Projects" they list only a few of the customs we know they've done, but a couple I hadn't heard of - I don't think the Fritz Reuter and Ernst Abbe ones were mentioned here on PF.

Every time PM leans into producing obscure 19th century Germans I would NEVER buy, my mind drifts to the World War 1 figures and vehicles I WOULD buy 

Oh what I would give for von Richthofen and his triplane, or (can a man dream?) a Sturmpanzerwagen

They've broken all of Brandstaetter's other taboos so they might as well break that one as well.
