I like the figures with just black eyes and black smile like the children
figures.  The white/black eyes look to "vaudeville".  I wrote to Playmobil
when they first came out years ago , but it seems they like the "beady"
eyes.   :2c:

Best regards,

Actually, I believe that the ones with the white-eyes aren't older.
The first ones I can remember were with the Pirateship (3550) and the acrobats (3512) from 1978.

Pretty early!

Can't find dates for the creepy face though.

Hmmm haven't thought of it that way... it would be more possible for children to know zulu rather than masai...
