I knew a guy in Canada who had dozens if not hundreds of the original ones still at his home. Apparently, he was working at McDonalds when they were forced to stop handing them out with the Happy Meals...so he ended up with lots of them...
:omg:

Right, as soon as my local McDonalds does a Playmobil promotion in Happy Meals, I will get a job there. I have been studying that spotty adolescent character with the unreliable voice on Simpsons, so I will fit in fine.

At the moment I think they are using My Little Pony for a promotion. I heard the jingle, it went something like

My Little Pony
My Little Pony
Comb her tail and comb her mane
Tasty but bony!
At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

I remember getting these as a kid, before the recall. I find them once in a while at flea markets, I like that Indian head piece.
