Hey thanks for the warm welcomes everyone. I have to admit that it's nice to have a place where I can talk about Playmos freely. I mean, it's a bit weird you know, collecting these toys? There have been times when I've hidden them away when someone's been over. It's not exactly the kind of thing that everyone would grok.
ANYWAY! To cases:
- The thing about me making a Roman picture story is that I want to go all out. I mean create an imaginary province, have subplots with the barbarians, maps, histories, everything. And I'm NEVER GONNA DO IT. Okay I might make a map but the full flowering probably won't happen. Still, I'll put some pictures up. I'll try to get some of other parts of my collection up too. Which subforum is the best place for vanity posts?
Mahalo: - I said that partly because Hawaii's where I'm headed for vaca in a week or two, but also there's a Playmo connection! My sister and her husband live there, raising my nephew, who's coming up three in a couple months. He's talking now and is pretty bright, and I am going to bring him his first Playmo set! The love is so great that I will be parting with my mint 7922 Roman Family! HOLY COW. All I'll have left will be the unwrapped set! No greater love hath man. His parents frown on weapons so I'll hide the sword and shield and save the legionaries till later...next gift will probably be a boxed 4277 Caesar in a year or two...
I always read 4564 as a quasi South American tribesman, sort of ham handed but decidedly not African. I have a couple of the Jungle tribesmen that I pose with my 4742 Conquistador!
Those chess sets are off the hook.
Okay I'll close now with a self portrait of me as I post on this very board:
