Whoa, what is up with his legs???!!! OK, so he might one day sit on a horse (that isn't in the set) but that's anatomically incorrect!

Wow, that is a really blatant copy! It's ugly, though.

 :lens:    I'm pretty sure it's a Schenk.  No other company got quite so brazen with their re-productions!     >:D

I'm by no means an expert but as I understand it, aside from lesser quality plastic, the construction, indentations, dimensions, etc. are almost identical. That's why Schenk got shut down - copyright infringement. Identifying characteristics on the early sets is the lack of a little notch in the center bottom of the torso, flat feet, and what almost looks like a "rat tail" hair piece on the Schenk figures.  Also, the Schenk klickys are slightly taller than Playmobil we're talking millimeters.....   If the non-moveable-hand klicky you have has a straight waist but is virtually the same, my guess is it's a Schenk.  The one pictured is pre-1981 style - I only have very early ones.  Does anyone have pieces from the early to mid 90's?  I'd love to see pics.   :lens:

thank you everyone, for sharing and your comments too  :)
I do visit toy stores still (without my grown up kids anymore) but dont see any of these...some of their accessories might be useful if the moulding and colour of plastic is close to PM's  :P

 :wow:  Tricorn   :wow:

I was unaware of the Turkish Pilsan brand.  I wonder how they got to the U.S.?  And I wish I remembered more about the eBay seller I got them from - they were mixed in with other authentic Playmobil in a lot I got on eBay  a few years ago. 

Thank you! Thank you! for the info!

I saw these in the same toyshop that I bought my 5300s from last summer.  I thought they were Playbig and bought them for £1 each.  However, when I got them home I discovered with help from Andi that they are not Playbig but a result of this : 'Many years ago, this company sold 
the templates for the play-big toys, so maybe some other manufacturer built them.'

I have discovered Busy Bodies from the UK but these figures don't look like them either.  Does anyone else no of any other makes they could be?



Thanks,
