got this coupa of days back. as requested from Leon from open the toy blogman, here's a short review of this toy. playmobil goes way back. my first encounter will prob be 1976? or was it 1977, when star wars was real hot.
do you identify playmobil as action figures in the 21st century term. i think no. they remain as a toy, prob called toy figures.
no one will prob understand playmobil, or bloody gets facinated by them unless u still have the child at heart and you cherish the pass, when you were a kid, and they were like best pals to you past-time.
they were plain, the calvary series that most of us cant forget [and are missing in the 2009 catalog] and the cars with the sterring wheel, the rubber tyres, and the little revolver, and then we started painting our playmobil and zapped .... they were missing from the shelves in singapore.
born in denmark, they were at great heights together with star wars action figures back then. what and why caused them to go missing in metros and yaohans? they were still availalbe overseas, but ebay wasnt big in the 90s, so we'll have friends to buy them back when they travelled.
they make a return in the 2000s, but never got that big anymore. but our hearts will always be with them, hoping someday, our children will endure this old toy, be that director we onced were, making houses and cars with lego and playmobils the main cast.
my macro lens manged to capture better closed up, this figure the special force in in fact a 2006 line. it has pay nice detail, including a button for the torch ....
a movable visor, a pistol, a rifle,nice paint on the uniform [u dont get that back then], boots [u dont get that back then], emblems, bulletproved vest, nice touch for us toy collectors who's into specail forces for 12inches.
nice detail too for the hand grip of the pistol
another nice touch will be the torch could be attached to the rifle as a lightscope.
you can find this figure at comics connection, wonder why they start selling playmobils? maybe someday i'll go dig out some of my 90s playmobil, think i still have that rally car ....
and in the spirit of toy collecting, may i quote, "open the toy", dont keep it in the box, you're missing all the fucking fun.

Thanks Sket for the review and most all share the open the toy spirit.
Playmobil have a special place in my heart too. I remember Yaohan too!
Playmobil give me a lot of creative playtime to make any story I like when I was a child.
Here's are some of my playmobil emotions.
I got to get this playmobil...maybe even two! How much was it by the way?
Leon, if I am correct..this costs S$5.65 only..
yes desmond's right $5+ .... will go check on your playmobil views ....
Thanks Desmond.
Sket which comic connection you went? I went to a comic connection and I see no playmobil on sale. thanks.
bought mine from plaza sing. i saw another piece when i bought it. but about a week ago now.
Thank you. Will try my luck when I am there. :D
i was just at harbour front. there's a shop at groundfloor that sells playmobil. they have quite alot of singles at $5+ but no sign of the special forces fellow. saw 2 other policeman but they are speed limit TP with the cams, think we al dont want that.
Sket I went plaza Sing and no sign of this figure. I saw policeman with speed limit too there but I was looking for special force one. Hope to get 4 - 6 to play for stories. LOL
there were 2 and i took one of them. will look out for u if i see any
Finally got 2 at another comic connection! :D Update that soon!
excellent
Commercial security is a must, whether it is servicing the public or a private business. Crime is not just limited to after-hours. This will help children have an idea of how will they protect themselves from people that might harm them.
Play allows children to grow beyond their years. They can pretend to be all sorts of things in play - a doctor, a surgeon, a police, or even a civil engineer! (Think of those bricks)
