La aventura de la historia - Playmobil Book + Figur Collection

[Salamander]

Hey, the Poseidon, (number 7) was in another thread and people were wondering if it was a custom or not, what with having non-green feet.

ETA: Just went to that thread and saw that it was already mentioned there...

I'm thinking 55 should be Don Quixote.

No question. Don't know why they didn't call him that. Maybe it's a licensing issue - he's still under copyright, right?

Nice collection of these characters, thanks.
Mata Hari (16) is a bit dark given that both her parents were native Dutch.

Must keep an eye out for the da Vinci and Marco Polo ones. That green laurel wreath is nice too.

I'm guessing that no.54, Stella of Rock should be Rockstar.

Interesting News, saw this at Klickywelt and explored. At the French site of these they are showing new figures including women for 2017

Amazing news! Looks like an (inferior) Athena, a female ninja, Diana Ross, and maybe Florence Nightingale, and a medieval queen or princess. So neat. WHY DOESN'T PM DO THIS IN THEIR MAIN LINE???

I keep adding new ebay searches to catch these figures, my latest scored the Marco Polo figure!!

There was a big fuss over there about the lack of women.

I really wanted the white roman legs with brown sandals and (even more) the grey roman hair (the no-hat tied hair) and that green "laurel"...  But not very willing to pay a fortune for those.

I wish there was an affordable german edition. I could pretend it was for study, right?

tahra, scour ebay, I've gotten two Greeks (one MIB, one loose) for not that much money. I mean, it's worth it!

update: the Greek is still available on the French site Tiermann posted, along with a lot of other great ones (Hamlet, Van Gogh, Mozart, Mesopotamian), but they only let you put in a French address for shipping. If there was a French Playmofriend willing to help out I would make it worth his or her while!

I did a couple of searches, but came up empty... I tried a couple of auctions for the legs, but failed (I got the greek torsos, I believe)...
