Bikini Girl AND friends

Looks like Bikini Girl has some friends.
(Maybe we could have a beauty contest?) ... ;)



4695 Bikini Girl


4858 Swimming Pool


4864 Bathing Beauty

My favorite is the Sun Bather! (see below)
(Reminds me a bit of Sylvia's Hula Girl.)

it's the first klicky who has visible pectoralis major muscles.  :hmm:
i don't know what playmobil is trying with this figurative-and-at-the-same-time-abstract anatomic designs and i think they don't know either.  :no:
we have often heard of lego's jealousy - they would be jealous of the playmobil's "figure" potential and of meccano's "mechanical" potential.
it now seems that this jealousy is attacking playmobil - they are jealous of mattel's barbie and ken.
  >:D

Love the 4864 Lady with the fish - is it a bag? - really like her hair.  I'll have to look out for these, living by the sea they would be great for a beach scene (mind perhaps we'd be better with eskimos here at the moment!)  :lol:
Thanks for showing them Richard.

I didn't notice that before, might be a toy for the kid in the pool.

Yeah I would guess a toy, but it does look like a purse too. :)

That bush in the set with the hammock - they should release that in the flame orange color - it would look great in inferno scenes (maybe I've been looking at plants too much)

Looks like a new seal toy in the 4858 set too.

The new bodyshape appears to be joined at the waist, where the trunks meet the skin-colored plastic. I don't think they pivot there, or the legs move separately, or I think Playmo would have made it clearer in the pictures.

Shame there's only one man with trunks. I'd like to have some other skin tones available, both male and female, but maybe they'll follow.

Following that logic, Martin, Playmobil would have also made it clearer in the pictures that the hands turn at the wrists.

True. Well, I don't think they look like they'll turn at the waist or have separately moving legs, but I'd be quite happy to be wrong.
