Hello
 He looks to be in great shape and very happy in his new home. Maybe you could get him to build you a Playmo warehouse for your ever expanding collection  ???

Rasputin "The Mad Monk"


In fact he is not well at all. My guessing is that he is an early one as the plastic is wafer thin and very tacky, and he has cracked in a few small placed and the previous owners had just attacked him wildly with a hot glue gun :'(

His arms are also quite loose. Does anyone know how to get at them to tighten them up ???
People had apparently been shaking his hand when they met him, resulting in large pink scuffs around his waist due to the loose arms. But there will be no handshaling in this household :no:
In fact I won't let anyone touch him ;D

However, he is in the bestest shape I have seen one sold, and a couple of years ago a spaceman one went for £75 with a whole chunk out of his helmet.

Last year on ebay there was a knight one in good condition, but the seller was asking £300 for it, so it went unsold.

Bob (named by previous owners) is well loved here, and will enjoy his new life :)

 :shhhh: I do know how much was paid, but he was a very early Birthday present (very early in fact) but we all agreed that he couldn't stand in the corner with a sheet over him til October :lol:

But it cost £80 in diesel to go and pick him up, which was in my Step-dad's brand new fuel efficient VW van. It would have cost about double that in his Land Cruiser!

I have never seen a large version of that pirate, as I think he is too old and I don't think they made them around that time.

As regards to choosing, I think a main Klicky is chosen when a new theme/range is launched. Bob, I am guessing, is the main character from the construction theme launched in the late 90's (the era of 'Construct') ;)

WOW Damo, Wish I got Birthday Presents like that  :(o): :(o): :(o):
I'd love any large klicky  :love:
I saw the large pirate on ebay (somewhere in N Yorkshire I think) a few months ago - I can't remember how much he was but it was a lot and went unsold, He looked in great condition too, but I couldn't afford him  :hissyfit: :hissyfit: :hissyfit:
I'd love one on display at our Playmo exhibition.
