all thanks should be kept for klickywelt's daniel, the guy that actually first published all these images. :wow:
in the same forum someone pointed out a shape in new surprise playmobil action sets.
if i am not mistaken, the scale of the set is rather small and it contains a pirate (the circle points the shape of his head and hat, the new "open-tip" model).
but maybe i tend to see pirates everywhere and playmofire will see a firefighter...
???

It's amusing that they put a bride & groom in each of 4 different wedding theme sets, so if you buy all the sets in the series you get a quadruple wedding. At least the bride & groom figures are different each time.

I think it'd be better to just have the one small set with a bride & groom (4298) but replace them with the bride's parents (in 4297), the groom's best man & ushers (in 4307, tying cans on the car), bridesmaids (in 4296) or similar figures for the bigger sets.

Oh, and I'd missed the yellow 4479 deep diver - another one I'll have to send to my sea-roving brother-in-law.

Your idea would definitely work better for those collectors who plan to buy all of the sets.

It does seem a little odd to have so many different wedding couples, but I guess it's so that kids can hold more than one wedding in their church. They would get bored marrying the same couple over and over. ;)

I also thought the bride in the car set looked slightly more casual, almost as though she had changed into her post-wedding reception outfit, ready for the honeymoon. It's nice that they have created a few different styles of wedding attire, in any case. The floral headpiece is so pretty! :love:

I really hope that Playmobil will expand on this theme rather than discontinue it after a short time.

I can see the potential for a beautiful christening set - mum, dad, baby, priest and a font. :D

And what about a funeral set... hearse, coffin, mourners, etc? ;D Yeah.. dream on, Sylvia.  :lol:

Now if the brides were all different, but the groom the same in each set, that would be amusing!

Hello, Sylvia ...  :wave:

And what about a funeral set... hearse, coffin, mourners, etc? ;D Yeah.. dream on, Sylvia.  :lol:

How macabre ...  :hmm:

Why not a funeral home complete with undertakers and a morgue? And, how about a cold table where we could embalm our little klickies before we cremate them in our Playmobil oven?  8}

Sounds like great fun, Sylvia ...  ::)

You're correct, Sylvia, Playmobil should "expand" this theme ...  ;D

All the best,
Richard
