Are the discontinued entirely from Geobra??

I think he is one of the coolest looking animal in the playmoverse....except the Moose

Yes, it probably is the hardest to get. I see them on ebay occassionally, but only one or two at a time, and usually buried in big lots. It was only available in one set and as an add-on, I believe, and is discontinued now. I'm in the market for some more right now. I only have two, and need at least three or four more.

I wish they would bring them back, along with the wildebeests! :hissyfit: Maybe someday. :-\


I have a huge mountain for them in my zoo, and only two goats on it. And one of them is going on my wildlife carousel I'm working on. So I need more for the exhibit.

I think the goats have a good chance at a comeback, but I think if wildebeests come back it will be a new sculpt entirely or as a multi-injection mold with different colored horns, hair, etc...
Someday, I will organize my stuff, I promise.

I think to meet current safety standards, the horns of the wildebeest would have to be made of a soft material. The goats do have a better chance, because their horns are already soft.

Oh please.. Actually all the soft rubbery parts are starting to annoy me..  Trying to look on the plus side, they don't break as easy.. but what will happen to those parts in 10 years?

I know, I hate them too. But it must be a new regulation somewhere.

Right, cause kids are morons, and parents too... Gods.

Making things for the common LOWER denominator is NOT good.

It's like the holes in the eggs. I can understand the tiny eggs (non playmo), or even kinder eggs. My concern: a dog could eat one and choke.

Now.. an egg the size of the current ones... Who's gonna eat that!? A horse? A pig? If that is the case, if it's possible they choke on one of those, than I'm all for it. Then agaoin.. pigs and horses should not be playing with playmo in the first place, me thinks.
