The Roman ship is interesting.
The noses on the figures caught my attention, but don't know if I
like them or not. :hmm:
It looks like the Playmobil klickeys are much better made. :yup:
Thanks for posting.

I was interesetd in Airgam boys several years ago when I read that Playmobil (according to their own website) would never be doing a roman theme. I think the Airgam Boys roman sets have been around for some time. I did get one figure (an astronaut, actually) and can concur with the general consensus on quality. They are pretty cheaply made, but do come with some nifty accessories. I like to think of them as dime store Playmobil.

Hello, Steve ...

Playmobil has made several such announcements over the years ... :lol:

They also said that they would never made aliens, dinosaurs, submarines, etc.

Perhaps some our German speaking members can tell us if the word "nie" means something other than "never" in the town of Zirndorf ... ;)

Hmmm ... I do remember a young lady once who use to say "nie" but really meant "maybe" ... ;)

I wonder if she was from Zirndorf ... ???

All the best,
Richard

Hi Richard,
I remember reading about the dinosaur thing too! I was disappointed, and then really surprised when the sets were announced. Perhaps we are missing something in the translation, or perhaps they change their minds like everybody else? I almost think they did it on purpose as a marketing tool to sell more toys (dash our hopes and then sell them a few years later to an eager audience). That's probably a bit too pessimistic to be true, though.

I always thought they were crazy not to do dinosaurs anyways. Kids LOVE 'em. My son is now hoping for cave people and prehistoric beasts like Mammoths and sabre tooth tigers.

Wow, I had no idea that there were so many Airgamboys sets.  As several folks have said, the quality seems inferior to Playmobil. 

Looking at the range of Airgamboy figures makes me long for Playmobil versions of Davy Crockett, Julius Caesar, Zorro :love:, the Lone Ranger, even Superman (though I suppose that he is actually a licensed figure - the Lone Ranger, too.)   And I love those French gendarme hats - since Playmobil is so popular in France I am surprised they do not already do some slightly vintage French police.

Exactly. This toys was in spain at the same time that the Famobil. In fact exist a little rivalry betwen  airgamboys and playmobil. It´s like a Real madrid and Barcelona. I prefer playmobil obviously :love:. The plastic of airgamboys it´s not  very good, it´s difficult to "put in foot" (?), and can´t catch the objets with his hands correctly. Finally they are bigger than playmobil. His girlfriend named miss airgam :love: and there are a lot too. when we are child I love miss airgam because whe she "stoops" (?) you can see her Panties :-[ :lol:!!!
