My Circus

[flatcat]

I had my circus set out to Play with look at, and thought that I would share some pics of it with you
(please excuse the quality as I am no photographer )
It is one of my favourite sets

My favourites are the camel truck and animal trailer

Hello, Flatcat ...

Your photos look great!

The Red Circus 3553 is a real beauty. And, it's the only circus that I don't have. (At the time, I foolishly told myself that the Blue Circus 3510 was enough circus for me.) ... 

Thank you very much for sharing your circus with us!

All the best,
Richard

Lovely set up!  Though there are some scary clowns in there...  <shiver>

I always thought Circus was an odd theme to choose, in the Uk Circuses are far less popular than Fairs these days. A fairground would offer a huge number of possible stalls and rides to play with.

Hi Flatcat

I love seeing you great pictures of the circus. We go every year to the traveling circus with the boys. You have some great sets to play with look at  I just adore all the Playmobil circus sets and am always looking for more.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks for the photos Flatcat, that is a nice looking set! I wonder if the circuse's (?) in other countries have a red and blue system like Barnum and Bailey does?

Only recently have Playmobil been making less scary clowns than these folk
although my favourite has to be the pink one with the gold body - it appears to be clear plastic with gold glitter inside

I agree, Martin!

It's strange that Geobra has not made a Playmobil fairground for their UK and US markets.
(A Playmobil fairground could include theme park rides as well!)

Looks like you've given Zirndorf some good ideas, Martin!
{Let's hope that they're paying attention!)

All the best,
Richard

Certainly all the circuses I have ever seen have a blue and red colour thems, often with a bit of yellow as well.

Do circuses with animals exist anymore? I have only been to one circus before which didn't have any animals - just people acts, where I got called into the ring where I had to lay down in the middle and had some mad BMXer jumping over me

Hi Flatcat

I do love those old clown faces. They just look so ? I do not even know a word for it  I was a bit disappointed that Playmobil did not make any for the newest run.

I too agree that a Fairgrounds Carnival would be so great. A carousel (a real one) booths were you win stuffed animals, large slides , games of all kinds, a shooting gallery, then there are the truly scary people, the carnies  We need an email petition, or we write to Geobra in crayons
