I know this is off-topic, but I too like watches.  Perhaps we need a thread about this in the Playmo-free zone?
wow, so do you collect the wristwatches and the victorian clocks from playmobil?? :wave:

I don't have any Playmobil wrist watches (do they exist?) but I have some of my own.  I also have a couple of the Playmobil Victorian grandfather clocks that I like very much. :gent:

I like the darker one from the first Victorian parlor/dining room.

Do you think they are still available as spare parts in DS?

same here, and I would say the darker one looks a lot better. Too bad I love original parts only and dont want to put paint on :-[

Shipping costs to Europe from the US are quite astronomical. And since the goods come from outside the EU, it's a bit hasslesome once they arrive at customs.

The last 'stoopy' klicky i bought was the pirate special (the one with the tattered flag). The stoop was so bad and I got so annoyed that I just superglues his bum in a straight position  >:D ;D

Hi!
To suppress the stoop, just dismantle your clicky, remove the clip holding the arms and legs, take pull the legs off and then bend several times the bottom part (blade-like) towards the front. Put all the parts back in place and your clicky wil stand upright just fine. Like it had a broomstick up his @@@! :-[
Cheers.

sadly using different methods would leave marks on either the kclikies' neck or the knee....and the major target customers, the kids, might not know this method and simply let down by playmobil. QC is really important :-\

I "strengthened" maybe a few hundred klickies-not a mark on them.You're right about the kids,though-they don't know the proper technique or have the skill to do it.And yes-quality control could indeed be improved,there are more and more boxes with-luckily!-too many parts in them too,but they could as easily be missing some...
