This is an interesting topic, KM.

I hadn't made the link in your name between Mobilius and the "mobil" of Playmobil!

My username is quite simple, the Playmo of Playmobil and "fire" added to it, for obvious reasons.  Unfortunately, on the two German boards I'm on, klickywelt.de and customize-it, when I first tried to register playmofire didn't seem to be available and so I am playmofireuk there and playmofire is someone else!

I use Walts-Trains, because when I take my Playmobil layouts to exhibitions I am known as Walts Playmobil Collection, or Walts Playmobil Trains.

Hello, KM ...

This is  a great idea!

BTW ... Did you ever tell us your real name? ... ;)

As you correctly surmised, my name is really Richard. Actually, Richard Silvano.

Richard is supposed to be the name of a strong king and Silvano is from Silvanus, or "of the forest". So, I suppose I am the "king of the forest" ...  :lol:

Hello KM :wave:

   I too think it was a great idea and it helps create a personality to all our ramblings. This is a unique setting in we get to know each other but rarely actually meet one another. I only belong to this one collectors forum and do not have a lot of experience in these forums.

   As far as my Avatar or name are concerned I am of Russian decent. Grandparents fled when communism was taking hold. We are what would be called the White Russians. All our family is educated and in proper white collar America but I would be what is called the "Black Sheep". I am confrontational,  honest, hard working, hate authority and love to challenge others. I was born and raised Orthodox and have always admired others with similar traits. So I just see it fitting and quite appropriate to use him as my avatar. It also helps that I am a certified nut case  8}   :lol:

You are a very clever fellow, Bill ...  :yup:

In my final year of undergraduate school, I played the Cowardly Lion in our "College Road Show of the Wizard of Oz" for underprivileged children in South Florida.

I guess I was "type cast" ...  :lol:

All the best,
Richard

I've been busy making cards for a craft fair for a few days so haven't had time to read this thread before, but I agree that it seems to be a good idea to get to know others.  :yup:
I chose Skypurr as my name because when I joined Playmoboard I hadn't been a member of a forum before and wasn't sure if I should use my own name or make one up.  I couldn't think of anything at the time and as our cats Skypurr and Cynda were sitting with me I chose one of their names.  When I joined Playmofriends I decided to keep the same name so that anyone from the other forum would recognise me.
Skypurr (my son's spelling for skipper) is a friendly cat who likes to eat and sleep a lot but is loving in return - a bit like me!  ;D 
My real name is Elaine which I think is of Greek origin and means shining light so I suppose that if a skipper is a leader and a light leads the way then  maybe it was a good choice after all!  :lol:
However please just call me Elaine.  :)

Prior to becoming involved with Playmobil I had been playing with Warhammer, I loved their medieval figures and Elves and Dwarves and have 1,000's upon 1,000's of their figures. One day my wife picked up a copy of their magazine 'White Dwarf" and saw some illustrations of Bloodletters of Khorne or Soulstealing Demons of Tzeenetch or some such thing and decided that I would stop being involved with such things. My wife actually bought me my first Playmobil, a fact I bring up when confronted with my purchases and which she questions! Once I saw all the little bits that could be swapped out and the various themes I was done for and they are also much cheaper than Warhammer (but sooo big)!

Playmofriends was the first forum I had ever belonged to and I sought a name whose connotation was as far from Warhammer as possible, an old pottering toymaker came to mind and I have grown rather fond of it. I am still working on a Playmobil version of my avatar but am not there quite yet.
