Sooooo nice..  Well, the torso.

I STILL didn't manage to get my hands on any of the new heads, or those new bodies..

Did anyone pop them yet? I'm very curious to see their innards :-[

I got a new catalog in the mail yesterday, the only thing different was the Super 4 insert. I'm likely to buy The Pirate House, and The Treasure Cave... I might even have use for the clear thing that has the Fairies with it...
I'm glad that I'm not the only one :)

GrahamB, thanks for sharing that link.  Funnily enough, the *exact* thing happened that you mentioned in the other thread yesterday - because the seller doesn't ship to Canada/US, those items don't come up in a search for me.  >:(

Which is particularly annoying to me, as I really want to get my hands on the Gene Super 4 figure as soon as possible, but if I can't even see the listings...!

At that moment the ship suddenly stopped rocking and swaying, the engine pitch settled down to a gentle hum. 'Hey Ford.' said Zaphod, 'that sounds good. Have you worked out the controls on this boat?' 'No,' said Ford, 'I just stopped fiddling with them.' (With thanks to Douglas Adams)

Salamander, maybe this will help.
Open a browser window or tab with the URL www.ebay.co.uk (Maltese sellers will ship to UK)
Choose Malta in the advanced search options (as YOU taught ME!) and search for Playmobil. Quite a few Maltese sellers put the word 'Figures' in the listing title when they are offering klickies. If you want to bid on items which ship only to Europe, send me a PM and I will help you further!

Good luck! I would say now is the time to be looking, at least five of these new figures have shown up in the last couple of days (see my post above), so Gene may well appear!

I just won some... Watch this space! (Mind you, can we be sure that all parts of a Klicky from one of these Maltese sellers - factory surplus parts seem to what they are offering- are actually the ones which will be used in the production models? Some of those Maltese klickies are recombinants, made up of any bits which will fit...)

Well, some are, I believe, errors - as in wrong head or something.

However, what matters is that the head is the new one, the rest is really not important. (I wanted some of those cannon arms too, but no luck so far.. though not important for this matter - I assume the arm is the same)

I didn't see any of the new bodies around yet.. did you?

Please post detailed details (and pics!) on the new parts if you get them?

One of those figures currently available has the cannon arm (see pics below). Bizarre!

I didn't see any of the new bodies around yet.. did you?

I think the bodies of the figures in these listings may be the 'correct' ones. Is that what you meant?
 
6690
6695
4798 4796
6696

I think we have also seen Alex from 6695, a while ago.

Please post detailed details (and pics!) on the new parts if you get them?

I will post pictures as soon as I have some!

I know he's been around, I just didn't manage to get one (YET) - even saw one with BOTH cannon arms.

They look like it, yes.

WHERE!? That is one of the new bodies I am most (dreadfuly) curious about!

I will post pictures as soon as I have some!

Oh goody!

GrahamB, thanks for your help.  I tried doing that yesterday, and not only could I still not see them (which surprises me, I thought the whole logging into the correct country solved the problem), but when I click on that specific seller, for me it currently shows they only have three items for sale, none of which are the new figures!  ???  And yet, I can follow your links to the same seller and see the items! I truly don't understand!

I would very much take you up on your kind offer to help get Gene if he should appear!

Links will work, but searching won't because (I think) ebay filters out listings on the basis of your postal address. I have sent you a PM to suggest a way round this.

OK, perhaps I dreamt this one. We have seen the hair from Alex (YOU showed us first, Tahra, ages ago!), so I am surprised the klicky hasn'f showed up yet. My bad.
