Obviously, I upset you; I'm sorry.

Where figures are re-issued, they are re-issued using the original moulds, as with the blue firemen and the old fire truck.  Looking at the German DS section on playmobil.de, I don't see any Victorian figures so I can't make any comparisons.  And anyway, if a figure is issued in 2010 by Playmobil using the original moulds and colours and design, then it is an original figure even if it is produced in 2010 rather than, say, in 1990.  It will actually have on the feet the same date as the original figures.  If a figure completes a set you have, does it really matter if it is the original produced by Playmobil in, say, 1990 and sold as part of the set, or a figure produced in 1990 and sold by itself from DS stock in 2010, or a re-issue by Playmobil produced in 2010?  When it comes to how much to pay, each buyer on eBay can decide how much they want to pay.  Some will pay more than others, maybe because they can afford to pay more, maybe because it is important to them to have the figure to complete the set.  Others will say, "Well, I'd like that figure to complete my set, but I'm not going to pay that price!" and not buy it.

in a way you are write ;)they use the same moulds for parts vehickles that you collect  ...etc. but do they use it for figures because many reissued sets had modern klickys as the non movable hands examp. i think we must contact ds as panos thought well does anyone know how can we contact??i don't see something to the german playmob. site

it is on a man, which is actually a reverse ''v'' from the waist up to the neck, as is with all the older klickies. you will see it in sets 7466, 7428, 7655 and others like that...the date on these klickies is 1974, which suggests that the original mold was used to produce it. So depending on what they want to produce, ds are using any mold they want.
This does not make any of these klickies rare, but they still are original. In my book, rare is the set that is still sealed in its box and is 20 or so years old.... An item ia also rare if it was produced in only one, or at least two, sets...like the hat of the 5580 soldiers....

no pano with the men's older shirt  v i s ok they use it i know in new prodused figures if the man is original you can see it from the "flat" pants not from the shirt as said in other quote .the woman's v on the neck is the rare one (the women with breasts 1986) it would cost them more money i think to make the old mould for making especially this old women's shirt when they could make the women with the new way as the today women figures are made .the  mens opposite v shirt is the classic playmobil shirt that's why they produce it in those sets ,but this small v in the women's shirt is only a detail is not something classic!

STOP SHOUTING.

We're trying to help you here, but your questions are very detailed about details most of us don't care about, and you use terms not in common English usage.

Anaglyph - carving in low relief

I see the fatter tummy on the legs, and I see the molded neckline on the female figure.

Moulded necklines were mostly dropped once PM started doing body printing, but can still be seen on some newly molded figures if they use the old molds.

There are no Victorian figures in the current DAS catalogue.

There is a 7128 set of "old-style" figures which might provide the old female neckline and flat tummy on some figures that you appear to want. It is an assortment, so you will not get the exact same figures pictured in the catalogue. In the catalogue there are two children, three female figures and seven male figures. None of the female figures pictured have the v shape at the neckline.

Yup, that's the same picture in my paper catalogue. I got the most recent  2010 catalogue with Dragon Knights on the front from a bricks and mortar shop where I bought some Playmobil, and the DS catalogue (they actually call it an "add ons catalogue") is stapled inside the centre fold.

You also get a full current catalogue included with any order from Playmobil's website. I should have an order arriving this week so I can confirm that later.

a this is the ds katalogue we are all talking about these are the current items but if you want a specific part you order for it? right?

Correct. This is a catalogue of add on sets, usually sealed not in boxes but in clear plastic bags, that are not (usually) available in toyshops, but can be used to expand a theme. Orders are placed directly through PM's website, though they also accept phone and fax orders.

What I consider the true Direct Service is the parts replacement service, for which you order by part number, not set number. The German website offers this service directly through the website for parts in current sets, but if you want to order something older or a figure (which have individual part numbers) you need to place an order by email, Fax or phone.

Outside of Germany (as far as I know) all DS orders are currently placed by email, fax or phone.
