Playmobil Babies
« on: November 30, 2010, 18:15:31 »
Is anyone else as confused as I am by playmobil's babies lately? I have always understood the ones with short hair to be boys and the ones with a side part to be girls. But baby girls are getting hard to find; even babies that are wearing pink flowered tops, such as this one:  http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-12-0350  have boy hair.

And in more than one nativity set, baby Jesus is a girl!  ??? http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=5719

I guess it's not really that big a deal, but my collection of baby boys dressed in pink is really growing, and I only have ONE new-style girl. Is this bothering anyone else?

wel...I never realised there were diferent types of baby hair! Always took all babies as unisex, except for the clothes.  ;D

What I was thinking these past few days indeed is that I don't know any blonde babies. Is there any? I need one for my Garden.... story and I came to realised I don't posses any and couldn't find any set with one.  :(

Me too!

I don't think the side parting automatically means the baby is a girl.

And flowered tops can also be considered unisex. ;)

The old-style babies were all girl-looking. http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-12-0020 or at least all had the same hair. but now that there are two styles, I had assumed they meant the "long" hair to be a girl.

Actually, Sylvia the flowers on the boys' shirts drive me crazy too! i customize where I can so that my boys don't have flowers.  :lol:

oops, i just saw this question!  :-[ There are no blonde babies. Until last year, the only babies with anything besides brown hair were the indian babies. But they finally introduced a black-haired baby in a special this year, so I'm hopeful that they will start producing other hair colors.  Or maybe they should just do bald babies!  :lol:

As you can tell, i've spent a lot of time thinking about all this! When you're doing a zoo theme, babies and children are very important!  :lol:

The baby situation has always been confusing to me 8}! I wish there was a more concise way to determine differences.

Well in real life you diference newborn babies only for the colors they are wearing and sometimes by the earings (girls of course)...otherwise they look all the same  :lol:..... it is natural PM took that too.
Why there are not blonde babies??? I want a blonde baby!!! :hissyfit:
Are there black babies? never saw one either.

There was only one black baby ever made. It's the old style and it was only in the Colorado Springs station.  :( Try finding one of those for a reasonable price.

It's only fairly recently that the "pink for a girl, blue for a boy" idea has become the norm.  In the 19th century and before it was the other way round.
