A Trip Down Memory Lane

Hello peeps!
While browsing the German Playmobil website I noticed they had added a great, new feature: The Archives. It is a list of the complete Playmobil line, sorted by year of production. It goes all the way back to 1974! So, while browsing I came across a couple of sets that I vividly remember having as a little Playmo-head. Seeing those sets again got me a little misty and teary eyed... longing for the easy days when all you had to worry about was getting up early enough on the weekends so didn't miss your favorite cartoons and making sure you made it to the potty on time. :) Anyway... here's a couple of pics of those sets.

Halloween is a-coming!

I couldn't help but get this trio of ghost pirates (Playmobil #4800). And they glow in the dark! (well, I haven't tried it, but they're supposed to). These little guys are part of the Ghost Pirate series (duh!). Very cool stuff... but I'm up to here with pirates... dead or alive! But I'll definitely be featuring them in my FaBOOOlous Halloween display. Stay tuned...

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!
