World Wildlife Fund and Playmobil
« on: August 07, 2012, 13:36:44 »
I thought this bit of information deserved its own thread! After Ace pointed out in another thread that a new theme is now visible on the german playmobil website http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Search-Show?cgid=Afrika I noticed that the WWF insignia is plastered all over these sets! I'm happy to see playmobil promoting preservation. Also explains the reason for the release of this somewhat unusual theme. Makes me wonder if these will appear in National Geographic catalogs and stores that sell WWF merchandise.

Sorry to bring some kind of disappointment perhaps, but the WWF-thing is for the German sets only! :-\
The "Wild Life" Theme for the Benelux-market (and thus probably the other international markets) has different schemes on the vehicles, and the sets have different numbers...

Pandas:
5272  Germany  / 5414  international

Gorillas & Okapi:
5273 Germany / 5415 international

Car with tigers:
5274 Germany / 5416 international

Elephant & Rhino:
5275 Germany / 5417 international


The car has a WWF-print or sticker in the German set, but a zebra-print or sticker in the international sets:

I did notice this discrepancy between the catalog pics and the online pics. I wonder if it is because of the difference in countries, or has more to do with an agreed-upon date to release the news?

It is not really a discrepancy between catalog-images & online webshop, Bonnie, but an intentional difference between German & international sets.
