X-mas Time!

So, for the holidays I purchased the "Nativity Manger + Three Wise Kings" (5719), "Christmas in the Forest" Advent Calendar (4155), "Santa Claus and Elf" (5846) and "Santa Claus and Snowman" (5845). I figured I'd set up a cute scene, along with my "Kool Toys" xmas train, xmas tree... I got home and opened the boxes... that's where the drama began! There was no Virgin Mary in the box!!! The box was sealed and all the little sealed baggies where inside, but I had no Mary! The Horror!I had all the other figures... so, what to do, what to do... taking advantage of the customization qualities of these figures I was able to have a complete Nativity Scene! I took Joseph's beard and tunic off and slapped on Mary's veil on him. The Hobo looking guy (I guess a shepherd) ended up being Joseph... and voila! I had my whole family together again!Now that the family crisis was over, I realized that I had 3 Santa Claus... well, any normal, well-adjusted person would use one of the and store the other two... not me! I tossed a few pirates and knights into the mix and we had an all out war! Two armies battling over which Santa gets to deliver the gifts this year! Here are some pics...
So, instead of having a peaceful holiday season, it was a boold bath... and so it began the Legendary War between the Pirates and the Knights (more pics on that later on).

Arrr, Matey!

Check out my crafty pirate ship... this is what happens when I'm coming down with a cold... I get all kiddy-like. Anyway... hope you like... post-prod in PSP/Photoshop

EmGee & JayBee

This is my friend JayBee. We've known each other for almost 4 years and we have a great friendship. Not perfect, but great! He's a geeky kinda guy: he's an engineer, works with computers and radio systems. He has a quirky sense of humor and loves to quote his favorite movies all the time. We enjoy going to baseball games and going away on long road trips. When we're not traveling (or working!) we enjoy spending time together, cooking or watching funny movies Sometimes we butt heads and get on each others nerves, but at the end of the day, what's important is that we care for each other.
I'll be posting more photos of our adventures soon.

And so it begins...

This page is meant just as repository for my Playmobil craziness. I don't claim to be a "collector" or a Playmo freak, just a guy that, as a kid, used to love playing with these little klickies. I had completely forgotten how much fun I had with these toys as a kid. I came across the Playmobil Nativity Manger + Three Wise Kings set (5719) at a local store this past Christmas... Now my little collection is growing: Pirates, knights, a hodge podge of figures... let's see how far I take this... In the meantime, I'm having tons of fun! You know... sometimes life just sucks, and you have to take a little break and try to enjoy it. So there!
I'll be adding pics of custom dioramas and Playmo stuff. stay tuned!
