3955 aka The mysterious barrel

That is really awesome. It' like a little playmobil time capsule. Thanks for showing it to us!

There's an idea - a thread on comparison of prices over the years of new Playmobil in stores from various countries in various decades.

That is a good idea.

I agree...I thought it was the "Horseman" that was headless!

That's pretty cool.  I would have really had a lot of fun with something like that when I was little.

How much did they originally sell for?

It was sold for around 300 or 400F as far as I know (as the shop converted the price roughly from Francs to Euros). I didnt mentionned it first, but I bought it for 50€ in a small shop in a small town, where I could also find a space rover (Playmospace), a crane vehicle and a snowplow :



I will give the adress to nobody, as I am not yet sure to have taken everything... (do not dream anyway, there is neither victorian box nor the robin hood feast.. I wouldn't have let them in the shop)

i found one for sale - http://www.kijiji.it/annunci/giocattoli/palermo-annunci-cefala-diana/playmobil-fustino-ciindrico-art-3955/37852057 - if someone's interested.
or even introduce it in klickypedia (nobody remembered to)

well spotted !

That is one of the thing that make this set marvellous : figures inside have few or nothing in common with picture outside... the four all-blue klickys are replaced by pirates... the green and white cow-boy is replaced by a brown bearded yellow and black klicky coming directly from Ngorongoro... an so on

Wow treasure trove  or indeed as others have said time capsule any kid would surely be over the moon about receiving this. Such an interesting assortment of different figures and all very bright I was also curious as to why the Firemen all had peg legs surely not very practical for putting out fires unless it's the Pirates next cunning disguise  I didn't fully take in the headless horse first time  poor thing thought it was just being petted backwards.

That's fascinating, sweetking - thanks for posting, and your detailed photos. It's probably not a useful exercise to make an inventory for 3955x - Deluxe Klicky Set since as was said, it's likely to be a grab-bag of random bits. I would like a clear scan of the sticker sheet, though... I think it might have originally come with 3483 - Tepee, Totem Pole Plus, and looks like it has a part number. If you open the Playmospace set, I would love to see that one too, since PlaymoDB has almost no info about it.
