As we keep saying, anything might be available, if you have the part number and try placing place an order. We just don't know. Even if someone here bought a load of Victorian figures last week, that doesn't mean they are still available today.

I have bought many figures over the last 3 years via DS, but I know they don't advertise replacement figures on the German website. If you have the numbers I think you can still order them, but they don't make it easy by providing the part numbers.

Pieces that are commonly called "rare" are typically not available via DS anymore.
E.g. the park fence and candles for the old piano.  ::)

But sometimes you can be lucky. It is amazing, how many parts they actually have in stock.

best,

the part number is the originall number of the item or it has a new special number? there are a few differences between the old figures and the new figures for example the victorian figures the women have a  v ANAGLYPH painted on the neck that this changed and today women are flat above from their brests, and the hands were thicker than the new ones

HERE IA A WOMAN WITH THE V ON THE NECK AND THE THICK HANDS

No, I can't.  You need to compare an original figure with a re-issued one to see if there are nay differences.  The DS re-issues may not have a part number other than the DS catalogue number.

Edit:  enlarging the two pictures, yes I can see the difference, but you still need to compare the same figure as an original and as a re-issue to see if they are different.  But whyy all these questions about Playmobil?  There are better things to do with it than ask questions, surely?

you can't see that there is an ANAGLYPH  on the first womans neck? and in the others is not, TO PUT THINGS IN ORDER I'AM ASKING THESE QUESTIONS FOR A PROOF IF THESE VICTORIAN  OLD FIGURES ARE REMADE YOU SAY THAT THERE ARE BETTER THINGS TO DO WITH IT THAN ASKING QUESTIONS THAT IS YOUR OPINION THAT YOU MIGHT NOT BEEING INTRESTED ON COLLECTING RARITIES.THE SECOND WOMAN WAS MADE AFTER 1994 THAT THIS V ON THE NECK FOR WOMEN STOPPED THEN ,NOW MY QUESTION IS THE REMADE FIGURES FOM THE VICTORIAN SERIES OF 1989-1994 IN THE DS KATALOGUE IF THEY HAVE THIS V ON THE NECK OR NOT, IF THEY HAVE IT IT MEANS THAT WE CAN'T SEE THE DIFFERENCE WITCH ARE ORIGINALL AN WITCH ARE REMADE, IF THEY DON'T THEN WE CAN'T SEE THE DIFFERANCE AND WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR SOMETHING WITCH IS NOT ORIGINALL

You are asking a question that we mightnot have the answer to. We can only be sure if we contact ds.
I see the difference alexi. The answear is, we cannot be sure. DS has issued vehicle sets that are considered to be classic. they have put klickies that have this ''v'' type chest. But there are other sets that have the ones without the ''v''. again it depends on the mold... and that same mold, that was used 10 year or 20 years ago, is used todya to reproduce the ds part.
