Sorry about the helmet, if I'd caught that I would have switched it out for you. If the company doesn't come through on it let me know and I will send you one. I have a few extra laying around somewhere.

They emailed me back saying they will send one, so all is well. Maybe I can find a use for the funky one. Viking artifact for a Victorian collector perhaps?  :lol:

As some of you know, the old carousel was one of my 1st Playmobil sets. So I decided to get the sled version. I haven't put the stickers on because I want to make some that are less Christmasy and more 1900ish.

Fits adults and mythical creatures as well!

I ordered the re-release of the regular one for my niece, so that should be showing up soon.

The guard re-release has a nostalgic toy soldier feel. They're quite posh.

I chose the boy multi-set this time since I have the girl one. The figure is too modern for my taste, but the toy shield and sword are great.

I hadn't thought of the possibility to keep that carousel less Christmassy by not using the stickers. It looks great.

While I really do like those soldiers, it is a shame they didnt give them some nice boots or shoes for this rerelease. It would have made them perfect.

The top panels need something to cover those holes. I'm thinking victorian images.

I actually like the old-schoolness since I don't have the original set.

I've been really slacking on updating this thread.  :-[

Here's a little Victorian park I set up on my dresser. You can see the yellow DS fences (I still need to hunt down a replacement part for the beige FAO fence 'cause I broke a piece :'(), policemen (Thanks again Daniela!), and a soldier from the rerelease, as well as some older members of my collection.

The girl in red and white is one of my oldest klickies - from before my Victorian collection started. She's gone a bit yellow.

Here you can see some older klickies that I've purchased in the last year or so, trying to complete my 1900 collection.

It took me forever to find this duck pond in my closet.  ::)
