Old figures with different feet?
« on: July 21, 2011, 13:30:02 »
I purchased a blue Playmobil briefcase full with 1974 Geobra figures but 3 figures have only a logo or not even
that below their feet.
Are they Playmobil, they really do look that way, except for their feet.
The green one has a the Playmobil Logo under his feet but the other 2 have some sort of holes.....
Here are a few pictures.

In the end, we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.

Hi,
these are ultra rare figures. I have only seen them on photos. When I have understand it right these klickies without any marking are the first ever made in 1974.
In the german klickwelt.de-Forum was member asking for knights with the dent on the feet. He offered 100 Euros per piece.

So you were very lucky.

I believe the geobra b came shortly after the dent and later in 1974 the year was printed on the feet.

That was my impression too, these must be some of the first klickies ever made  :o

Said member absolutely wanted AND urgently needed those "first-ever" knights before opening his playmo-museum in Norway.
As I have heard he has a NRFB-collection of EVERY single Playmobil set that was released in the 1970s (and he was given his last missing set by geobra if I remember correctly) and lots of rare other products.

Oh and yes,

these are the first klickies ever sold in 1974.
Then was the "b"-feet series for "B"-randstaetter.

All later series are much more common by far and not hard to get by.

But true, selling them with this knowledge to some hard-core collectors WILL make a huge difference in profit....

Ouch, this makes one examining the otherwise less interesting figures more thoroughly.  :doh:
@geobra: Thanks a lot! :-)

I just checked the feet of about 70 old clickies belonging to my brother and oldest sister, all from 1974 aside from two kids.

Close, but no cookie it seems.  :(

I gues the year is for when that part was produced first since I doubt they planned the sets ahead many years?

You're right, even today's "old feet" klickies - fresh out from the machines - will have that year printed on their soles.
