I look just like mine too.  ;D

Oh yes, I already assumed this  ;D

Anyway, your mini-me is actually the only one making difficulties to be placed into me showcase where I collect the avatars ...  ;)

Hey Jochen,

Any chance for a photo of your avatar showcase? I'd love to see all of us hanging out together and having a good time! :D

Sure, although we might become slightly off-topic, but I assume it's ok for Richard.

In the photo below you can see the showcase, but in the meantime the content looks slightly different. I also have bought a second one which is hanging right next to this, because with the customized birds (and some other items) the first one hadn't enough space for the near future projects (e.g. cf. the adapted rescue team).


Coming back to your question: below you can see a quick detail shot of the status from this evening. On the upper shelf you can also see two Fun Park shop assistents (at least it was their dress code when I visited some month ago; I got the impression that in summer time they wear blue dresses). Right beside my first "Richard avatar" suggestion -- in the meantime we have an agreed definition  ;D
On the lower shelf you can see my PF staff so far. You can see, that some are still under construction: Tim_w needs some re-adjustment of the mask/face; Kvart needs his cap (BTW, anybody who has this cap for spare? I haven't one  :(); and for Arizzo I need the correct face/head and belt. Matchboxluc is still in my workshop in an intermediate painting status. Arab warrior is still ordered from eBay and Fire Chief from DS. cachalote I just have to search in my pirates  boxes and place him in the showcase (Playmofire I do have in two variants as Gordon told me: the one shown at the board and a modern one -- the last one resides somewhere else in the showcase.)

At this place again a Thank You to Gordon for providing me the Mansion Builder legs.

 :hmm: I just realized that Little Jo is currently located somewhere else ...

BTW and Just to clarify: Not having anybody's avatar in my collection does not mean I'm ignoring this person. Due to my reduced time I have started with the most active people and/or those which I can make quite fast.  Goal is for sure to have (nearly) all members right over here at the showcase ... some day  :-[
I'm absolutely open to let everybody take part in this collection. So I see two options: (1) you can provide me a full size photo of your avatar so I know that you have an interest to be member of the collection and I also know how the figure looks completely; or (2) you also can send me the complete figure what will save time for me and will bring your avatar more quickly to the collection  ;D

Very sensible idea to try and find an avatar more suited to the tropical weather of your current home, Richard! :D
I'm sure it does get quite hot under all that armour! :lol:
I see Jochen has already come up with some very good alternatives. :yup:


Kvart needs his cap (BTW, anybody who has this cap for spare? I haven't one  :(); and for Arizzo I need the correct face/head and belt.

I think I can help you with a couple of parts that you're looking for, Jochen. :)
 It's really not nice to see poor Arizzo in such a state. :o Will send you a PM so we can correct this as soon as possible. ;)

Btw, I'm curious about the origin of those figures on the top shelf of your showcase - the ones with the black jackets showing the Playmo head icon on the back. I've never seen those before. Are they from a recently released set?

And I think the final idea Richard had and has given as order is even better than those suggestions. So please wait a few days and you will see how he copes without an armor  :lol:
(Just need to order some parts for creating this figure and this may last some days)

Yipee, this would be great!  :D
(The cap would have been really a hard thing for me)

 ;D No, non recently released sets, or at least no officially released sets -- they are a customization of my own being part of an idea I had some time ago, but also not realized so far because of lack of time (like so many other ideas  :-[)

As y'all can imagine ... I am very excited about the new avatar that Jochen is creating ... :)

It is so good, that I will be very surprised if Playmobil doesn't introduce similar figures in a reintroduced theme ... ;)

BTW ,,, Zirndorf has already started to reintroduce this theme ... :)

More later, Playmofriends ...

All the best and please keep checking back,
Richard

nice new tropical avatar, Richard ;D

you've done a very good job, Jochen  :yup:

no need to worry ... I am in fact used to get beheaded for being lippy ... in former times ... on another board   :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

and guess what ... it never caused me any harm so far .... nor did it keep my mouth shut  ;)
Cheers
Arizzo

You're off the edge of the map, mate. Here there be monsters. hehehe

Well I haven't written much lately, you say?

Stay tuned, that was only a pre-suggestion. The final "Richard" will come soon  ;D

Cool, you already put the new avatar online  :D  So I think I have to hurry up to provide you a variant with a nice background ...
(No, I don't think that Arizzo meant this one; I think he referres to my first suggestions with the blue sun t-shirt ... but maybe I'm wrong)
