My goodness these are great ideas. I'm sorry but they HAVE to do a Simón Bolivar klicky.

Che Guevara could come later.

Che Guevara may be too controversial.

I gues that unless its a person who children may know worldwide, it would be up to local museums and such to issue historic figures from Playmobil.

I'm quite glad that the Rijksmuseum here in the Netherlands seems to get a taste for it.

:-\ yes, che guevara could be a little bit complicated.
a lot of people who see him as a "nice" revolucionary don't know what his responsabilities in the shooting and jailing of thousands of people in cuba.
it would be o.k., i guess, if it was the cuban government to ask for it and if it was sold only there.
... o.k, o.k, with the possibility of internet ordering. :)

Yeah they do need to look out a bit for controversial stuff.

They have released quite a few sets like that of course, like southern soldiers, a dancing bear twice, hooded executioners twice, beer drinking construction workers, and such.

And still somehow a simple airport security checkpoint is seen as most controversial. I've yet to see a list of inappropriate playmobil sets feature the dancing bear.
