It looks Playmo-like to me but not Playmobil.
Alex is the box expert though....   :P

There is something really strange about that box... can't put my finger on it. Seems like there is usually more writing or something. But that is the playmobil catle in the picture... very strange.  :hmm:

Just looked it up on playmodb. http://www.collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3019.htm Looks the same to me!

edit------------------------

Or not. The background of the picture is different.

It is not the same one Bonnie. Damo's pic is more colorfull and the clickies are diferent.
It is the same castle though... but the pic looks fishy  ;D

Yeah, right after I said that i looked again, and I don't know how I missed the huge, glaring, obvious differences!! :-[ :lol: :lol:

Not only is the background different, but it is not as zoomed in as the pic i linked from collectobil. it doesn't fill the front of the box. And it seems it may even be angled a bit differently.

Maybe this is not an actual box...maybe its photoshoped for whatever reason by a seller or two... all playmobil boxes have letters and photos at the sides...why doesn't this one have any? maybe its just a promotional picture...

That was what I first thought - but presumably the seller didn't create the image, as it would mean just as much work (if not more) as taking a photo of the actual thing :camera:
