Fitting that your pink bellhop arrived with the fairy.  ;)

Ha ha, I actually ordered more reds and blues in this lot, but I'm using "openings" as a reward system to encourage myself to finish necessary projects, so I haven't gotten to them yet.

I just opened the 5110 (one of the small horse sets). Pics to follow.

That's a good strategy. Hopefully it works. :lol:

I hope so too. Do work; get Playmobil.


Apologies for the bad pictures. It's kind of late.

The horse set is cute. I never thought I would be collecting horse sets, but as you can see, I now have two.
The general is a great figure, but I can't get the holster to lie properly without wedging it in with his arm. Hopefully, it will stay there after some time being wedged.
The figures in the wise men set are gorgeous! I have the older wise men as well, but I want a little troop, so that it's not three lonely dudes on a long journey. My only complaint is, of course, there's one camel between them!

Here are the F?gures from the coop.  :)

Pic 1: Definite keepers.
I'm glad to see the full skirted princess is not wearing pink, though it does seem like there's a large percentage of blonde princesses... and that crown style isn't my favorite. Her veil is silly, so I took it off.
The violist (sorry, that's too big to be a violin) is gorgeous!
The Native American lady is nice. I'll add her to my future "international" collection.
The archer is awesome, though her hairstyle seems a bit modern.
The medieval princess is beautiful, though very pink. I tried her out with the gold ringlet from an earlier figure because it looks nice on her.
The Peruvian?? woman is lovely. Again, more pink, but the orange bit is nice. It would have been a nice touch if the fruit were better shaped for the basket.

Pic 2: Most likely keepers
The ninja doesn't really fit into my collection, but I may keep him because he's a fun figure.
The viking sadly had helmet molding issues, but his shield is gorgeous. I don't have any other vikings, so I'll probably keep him.
The mermaid... honestly, I didn't plan to keep her, but she is growing on me.
The... what is this? has awesome armor. Maybe I need a historical international collection as well...
I like the dragon on the knight. I know it was necessary, but I'm slightly perturbed by his lack of hair.
The fairy has a gorgeous dress. I'm not really into fairies, but she looks cool. Is it just me or are all the F?gures fairies blonde?

Pic 3: Modern figures - I'm deciding which ones to keep and which parts to keep. The rest will probably end up with my niece.
The 1st two - They like those miniskirts, don't they? The tennis racket looks nice, but no ball?
Not too fond of the snowboarder's pants.
The handyman is cute - will probably go to niece.
I'm impressed that the rollerblades have actual wheels, at least in the front and back.
The hairdresser is nice, but not my thing.

Pic 4: What remains - Some of the weirder or more violent ones will be passed along.
The miner is well done, but again not my thing.
The police guy upsets me. I didn't like it when I saw the pics, but I had a bad gut reaction when I opened it. Doesn't help that I can't get that holster attached. I probably wouldn't have minded if he were a normal policeman, but this one just invokes too much modern day violence. Will sell or trade him.
The cowboy has great details, the boots especially. But I don't know if I'll keep him. I'm not too interested in western things.
The next two - meh, I'm deciding if they have any parts worth keeping. If not, will be sold/traded.
The astronaut is cute. I think he may end up with my niece.

Send a pic of that to playmobil - they should send you a new helmet, I think...

We felt the same, and the part exists!

Not too fond of the snowboarder's pants.

He IS too old for diapers. But easily fixed. And he does look great afterwards...

I wasn't sure what their policy is for things not bought directly from them, but I may try that.

The baseball from the last series would work.

Definitely. I'm not sure what I have in the way of spare legs, but I'll check.

If you bought the set new, it shouldn't matter where...

No, I meant, there are TENNIS balls from playmobil...

Our snowboarder got some "space legs" - pics on my review, I think.. I can't stand those diaper legs!

I suppose you're right. I've just never tried it.

Oh really? I didn't know there was already a distinct part.

Me neither. The last pair I used to make a teenage alien (because that's what I got when I put together left over parts).
