Have anyone seen this before?
« on: April 27, 2011, 01:54:22 »
I was going through a guy's facebook page and he has a folder with art box pic. And I founf something I have NEVER seen before. Look!

Have you seen that kind of pencil drawing background? What set is that box from??? I love it!

By the way this is supposed to be the back of the box, not the front. Like back then when boxes had dioramas at the backside.  :-\

There are a lot of people who make custom boxes. I have no idea who made this particular one, it is a nice job but very un-playmobil

Hm, that is beautiful! I wonder if it's a real playmobil box?

well it looks real but could be a custom. I asked this guy, I know him but hasn't answered yet.

This is definitely NOT an original box by playmobil, not a back nor a front cover... just a nice custom... one of many!

BTW, here is another custom box made by a German satirical magazine. A really nice idea concerning the problems of unemployment... it's one of my favourites

Yes, I remember that one also!

The custom boxes can really throw you off sometimes, but are so funny to see! I like how the passed out pirate is being carried to the rowboat,.....classic!

Even 8 years later this box is still very relevant  :lol:. Thanks for reminding us of a classic custom box, I like it a lot as well  :clap:

Two excellent custom boxes there.  As Ras says, the second is still very relevant.
