Excellent reviews, Bonnie, of some excellent sets.  I must say that the gym based sets are my favourite and I guess may be with children as you have more posing opportunities with them.

Look forward to the rest of the reviews.

are the torso and legs of the (fat?) weight thrower new? (or exactly the same as the weight-lifter?)can you please take a side view, bb?

Darth Vader can sure use those 'unlighted' javelins too ;)


Yeah, they're both fat klickys. I'll take a side shot of both of them this evening.

And yes! That javelin does look like Darth Maul's double-sided light saber. ;D

The gymnastics sets are definitely my favorites, too, especially since that's one of my favorite olympic events to watch, along with swimming, diving, pole vault, running, various boating events... ok I like a lot of stuff. :lol: But that's got to be my favorite.

I was remembering as I put those sets together, having gymnastis barbies years ago that came out during one olympic year, and how difficult it was to pose them doing anything exciting, even though they included little hooks so their hands could grip the parallel bars. Playmobil is much easier to pose on this kind of thing!

Great this review of all the sets.  Thank you very much bonnie. It's not my theme, but by this review I realise there are some potential interesting objects in those sets.

Great sets!  :clap: Thanks for the photos. I want them all!  :love:

I wonder where those athletes are from. Why don’t we guess it according to uniform colors, flags, sport tradition in country or any other parameter you may have? If we think about Olympics - someone has to be from Greece, London 2012 – someone from UK, Playmobil – someone from Germany and you may want to include your own country. My first guess:

5188

Mexico vs Ukraine

5189

Japan

5190

Russia

5191

Spain

5192

UK

5193

Greece

5194

Brazil vs Argentina

5195

France vs Italy

5196

USA vs Sweden

5197

Australia vs China

5198

Netherlands

5199

Turkey

5200

Belarus

5201

Romania

5202

Germany

Do you agree  ???

Oooh, what a good idea! I think you pretty well nailed most of them. Only ones I'm not sure about are the fencers and the judo competitors, which don't seem to have much to go by, and possibly the swimmer.
