New 2025 (Jan-Jun)

[tahra]

New animal molds are:
 the large shark in Pirates - totally agree with Tahra it looks like Bruce from Finding Nemo.

I thought Bruce from Jaws!    (don't really remember Finding Nemo  )

I think the Nessie has different color eyes, but yeah they could have done it in a new color.
Yes the Pegasus foal is a new color.

  I didn't notice about Nessie.. but.. agh. 
And the baby pegasus too?! Darn.

Thank you Tiermann

The woman looks Andean (Peru) but not sure about the man but most likely Latin America somewhere.

Yeah I can see that, they did a Bolivian not long ago. I wish they'd just come out and tell us!

In general observations that short counter in the style of the old Western theme bar seems new? It's in a couple of the sets but I don't remember it. Would be nice to have it in brown to match the older bar.

Yes, that is new as far as I know - I assume it was specifically designed for the Miraculous set. I originally thought they had also designed a L-shaped counter for that set too, but probably it is just the 'long' counter and 2 shorts.

The Miraculous bakery looks a lovely set with some cute new items. It's a shame that it is a single storey and looks to be un-expandable (I looked it up and in the show it has an upper floor, but I doubt it was used so they just made the shop).

Chinese Tea-set looks very cute.

I like that the feast set from Asterix has been separated out - I don't have any of the sets, but if I was going to get one it would probably be this, since it ticks a lot of boxes without being the whole village.

Animals are, clearly, popular with children. Not surprisingly, but they are going in hard on it.

Well, that's utterly disappointing.

Like two nice figures and that's it.

I just hate it that they have to ruin the whole pirate theme with those creepy eyes on the clickies.

Those eyes are ridiculous. What is that supposed to be? Assuming they don't mean them to be all drunk/high/sleepy - that's what it looks like.

Some I just replace. Another problem is the cheap printed heads - and we get more and more misprinted, making them look like idiots.

I can't confirm it since it's hard to look up set release dates, but I was under the impression that they started doing the other types of eyes around the time the movie and the Youtube shows came out. I have no evidence to support that, it's just what I've been assuming as someone new to the hobby.

The Super 4 and The Movie eyes were not drunk/high/sleepy... I think this nonsense started on Novelmore, I think.. one of the factions, in particular... the purple/green wizards, maybe?

Hi there, NovaB! 
As a fairly new Playmofriend you might not be aware of Playmodb, a wonderful resource for Playmobil info, including release dates, part numbers, and links to building instructions for the majority of sets.

Are they done with the klickies with those non-traditional eyes? This is one thing keeping me from buying the new set.

Happy to see the return of Vikings in the Special Plus though. But honestly those special plus are not special at all, more like just any random sidekick klickies off the bigger sets, and the PLUS is simply unwanted.

The F?gures basically have taken the space of the Specials. Most of the Special Plus items could sit in other ranges, but I don't mind them as a bunch, but the branding is slightly odd.
