Congratulations on the new acquisitions!

Next we have Playmobil 3731 (..) I really like the back of this box, look at the rolling cloud cover, you can almost feel the wind.

The rear box art is exquisite, I never noticed it. Superb composition, especially with the second Indian pacifying the horse.

These bison are so wonderful :love: I know they are common but I never handled one until very recently. What an exquisite figure: solid, powerful, expressive - a great toy. It's a pity that no cows were ever produced: the herd depicted here looks very high on testosterone!

Thanks for showing.

Best wishes
StJohn

I fully agree. It's marvellously sculpted. Classic PM lines.

The old box art is unsurpassed.
I like the way the modern boxes show you what's inside, but it would be nice to see some better side art on the boxes.
