My Whole Collection!
« on: July 26, 2010, 02:51:40 »


This is my whole playmo collection. It grew quite quickly... and then came to a halt because I'm now poor. I have more close-up photos if you want to see more. I create little stories and relationships in my head, and I like to look at them and make up new things and then buy new playmo and see how the dynamic changes. I like pairing things that only go together in my head (like the vikings and flamingos). I did recently buy a second shelf, but no new playmo to fill it up with just yet.

I have a full list of playmo I want that I keep in a small notebook. It comes in handy, especially when going on eBay I just go down the list until something comes up at a price I want to pay.

I'd like to hear your comments.

I'm sorry I don't participate in the forums more. I do read quite a bit, I just don't comment much. I'll try and comment more often, though.

Okay, I can't get the picture to come up correctly, and I don't know how to edit posts. I'll try one more time for the picture.

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/reimagination/4829405272/" title="My playmo collection... and Galactus by reimagination, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4119/4829405272_2ecdd7ed06.jpg" width="500" height="376" alt="My playmo collection... and Galactus" /></a>

Okay, we'll see if that works.

If not, here's the link to the picture.

A wonderfully varied and well organised collection!  :clap:

I'd love to see some closeups of the various groupings, they look fascinating.

A small but wide collection with lots of themes represented.  Almost Playmobil in miniature, as it were.  As Martin says, close-up photos please.   :wave:

Let's hope I get the pictures to work right this time (thanks Martin Milner for helping me out there)



The first set is a couple. Of course you all know the Magnificent Lady. Her lovely cohort is a kindly veterinarian. They're inspired by a real life couple I knew where one woman was very feminine in appearance and the other was fairly androgynous. They were really nice people.

The indian chief and tiny angel like to hang out and trade stories, and they watch over the other people.

Yay the picture worked!


In this set we have the Roman priest (who married the couple from the last picture) and his Zulu friend. They love to share their religious teachings with each other and learn about others in the world.

The camel is just hanging out. He ran away from the wisemen, and he may eat some of these roses.

The witch is my friend Sami. She loves pastries and is a bit eccentric, but she doesn't really know how to do magic (don't tell the neighbors that though). She has a cat named Ninja (but it's pronounced as if it were Swedish 'neenya', not like the word ninja).

The rose gardener and chef are twin brothers. The chef is a bit outlandish and wants to have his own cooking TV show. The gardener is quiet and enjoys the little things in life, and he has a great hat collection.

These native Americans were given to me by a friend. They're just hanging out until I figure something out about them.

The boy on the snail is my first and only 123. I think it's just really awkward. He was born with his arms attached to his sides and an overly large head. To console him, his father genetically engineered a giant snail for him to ride around on.
