Two new Volkswagen cars are coming
« on: March 19, 2022, 17:24:31 »
I just discovered Playmobil uploaded two pictures in their online database of two new Volkswagen sets! At this moment the release date is unknown...

The links to the pictures indicate the set numbers, I assume new colours of the Kever and the T1 bus:

According to our friend Playdalai on Amclicks you will be able to design your own version of the iconic cars! There's no clue yet how that will work... Anyway, how cool is that?!

In addition I'll add the box pictures, also released by Playmobil:

Is this going to be a “color” your own car type of thing that Geobra did so many years ago

Or perhaps the set will include lots of different decals

Maybe they would offer genuine VW colours.

I’d buy a hippie van. And a Herbie. Those are the only recolours I would be interested in. The cars themselves turned out nice, but the colours they were avaible in never ‘popped’ enough for me to pull the trigger. Which I would for those two variants I mentioned.

That would be the most logical thing to do - but surely it would be very difficult? I dread to think how much they would cost....

Maybe you can combine a number of colours, but there's not many different parts

I don't think car colours are patented or copyrighted so cost shouldn't be an issue other than mixing the plastics.  Here's the colour I want:

I didn't mean from that point of view - I assume anything like that would be arranged through VW anyway. I just mean in terms of production - if they were making to order, or if they offer a big range and then need to hold a huge amount of stock.
