What is the rarest of playmo animals

[Giorginetto]

Recently there has been quite a lot of discussion around playmo animals and i think bbs collection has inspired many of us to buy / focus on playmo animals . I wonder what are the rarest and the most / most impossibel to find playmo animal? Though not an expert as others here my guess would be the old style polar bear with the black nose and eyes and the white owl ... look forward to see what all have to say and remind to all to post pictures if you have them to make the thread more exciting , sorry i cant my den is far away from me

You can get the white owl from DS. I think the red Nessie is quite rare, that or the daboo.
Best,

daboo?

You can get the white owl from DS.

I have bought both owls from UK DS, the brown owl cost £1.00 but the white owl was more expensive at £1.50.
Why is white plastic more expensive to produce than coloured?

The polar bear with the black nose is actually the newer version, but now the old version is apparently available again as a DS add on. So I wouldn't call either polar bear rare at all.

I'm sure Tim could fill in on some specific color variations that are very rare. But as to entire species or older molds of species that are rare, there are a few. The woodpecker http://www.animobil.info/text/3e258fc-1904.html, as we discussed a few days ago, is relatively rare, as compared to other kinds of birds. It is in several sets currently in production, though.

The wildebeest http://www.animobil.info/text/3e258fc-1187.html is somewhat rare also, being discontinued for many years now. It is seen on ebay regularly, so it is certainly not among the rarest playmobil items, but it is one of the rarer animals.

Falcons http://www.animobil.info/text/3e258fc-3112.html seem to have become harder to find lately also. A lot of them came in medieval sets, but I actually don't have one!

And then of course there is the mountain goat: http://www.animobil.info/text/3e258fc-1064.html which I think must be the rarest animal as far as the rarest mold.

But we must mention certain color variations.... the red nessie, as Arnaud said, and the white mouse, which I have three of thanks to Gis . I'm sure Tim could fill in a lot more!

Why not just get the falcon and woodpecker from DS??

Talk about the birds...the Toucan cost 1.7 gbp.....

[bonniebeth]

Yep, they're probably available on DS.

I forgot about the brown eagle! http://www.animobil.info/text/3e258fc-951.html I've been having trouble getting my hands on that guy.

I guess I've never really noticed the variety of animals Playmobil has produced. I love the mountain goat!

I think we should not refer to any animals that are available from DS as this means they are not rare at all , right 

Aha !!! The wildbeest , also referred to as the 'Gnou' if i recall correctly , soooo bb this is for you what the nuremberg guards are for me , mystery solved !!! 

Well i am still intrigued to read about other playmo animal rarities not available through the DS !!!

I really like the weird colored baby dinos/dragons - apparently sold at the funpark..

And of course the mysterious purple cowie...
