Why, Target, Why???

Target stores in my area (South Florida) have stopped carrying any Playmobil items! They still have a limited, and fast-dwindling, selection online. Even K(rap) Mart stopped selling them. *sigh* I guess my $ will be going to TRU... or even better... Playmobil Fun Park in Palm Beach Gardens.
Why, Target, Why????

Goth Vampires...

or something like that...



"Of course it's me, Dahling!"

Famous fashion designer Karl Playmofeld and his signature fan. :)

Hot Tranny Mess!

Another custom clickie: ChaCha the drag queen.

Long time no see!

I've been neglecting this blog for far too long. Instead I'd post whatever PlayMoLife stuff came up to my FB page. Well, after what happened yesterday over at FB I've decided this would be a more "welcoming" (as in not censured) place to do my stuff.
Let me explain: I've been doing a bit of customization, nothing heavy duty, just taking my clickies apart and mixing and matching parts. And I did some kinda funny ones, such as Karl Playmofeld and ChaCha the dragqueen. A couple of people suggested I should do a couple of "controversial" ones... such as a priest (with child, of course) and maybe even Hitler. So I took on the task and with a few spare parts and some Krylon spray paint later my figures were done. So I posted them on FB, with a disclaimer on the Hitler clicky stating, blah blah blah, yeah he was a bad guy, blah blah, blah... you know, the required stuff so people wouldn't think I'm some skinhead neonazi or something (Jeez, if A.H. would be alive today I'd be on his shit list for more than a few reasons).
Anyway, I posted the pics, a couple of people got a chuckle out of them, others didn't find them amusing. Someone must've reported them as offensive to the FB gods, because before I know it, *poof* they are gone! So, screw that... Let's see how sensitive the powers that be are over here at BP.
So, without further delay, here are the offensive clickies... :) Enjoy!

My other hobby

What could be better than melting all my hobbies into one... so here it is... I found Playmobil 5404, the Victorian Artist... I'm sure with a few mods I could make him look like EmGee. :)

PlayMo in the USA


I have read, in different Playmo websites and message boards about PlayMo conventions. But they have been all in Europe. Germany, France, a big one in Spain, even in Malta. I am yet to hear or read about anything in the States.
I'm not sure if there fan base in the USA is big enough to warrant such an event. I mean, I know there are some hardcore Playmobil fans state-side. But I wonder if it would be geographically possible to it to take place.
I think it would be a blast, PlayMo fans setting up their dioramas, showing their collections, people trading vintage/rare klickies!
Ahh, the possibilities!
