Playmobil is now doing the mystery figures like Lego. I saw them
at a local independent toy store today. $3.49 each

They have 12 figures in a blue wrap that are geared to boys and
they have 12 figures in a pink wrap that are geared to girls.

I got sucked in since I absolutely LOVE Playmobil. I bought 4 pink packages and 3 blue packages.
It's cool because the Playmobil figure is in bits and pieces inside the
bag. You have to put together the entire figure.

Fun! Are there any codes on the package so you can make sure you're not buying multiples of the same one?

this is off-topic, but we also found these Hello Kitty mystery figures at Borders, they are megabloks brand which is taboo for a Lego lover, but they are cute!

I have no idea! My daughter had no problem deciphering the packages
by touch.

OK those are cool. I really like some of the pink ones but WTH is lady #10?!?! She is dress in all grey and has two spoons and a baby on her back. Are they trying to say something about stay at home moms? I know I don't get as dressed up as I once did but I don't dress in total rags either.
Also why are so many of the blue ones so scary? An executioner really?

DS has never been a fan of PM but DD loves them. These would be great stocking stuffers.

I loved the Grim Reaper! And the mummy! So funny because
I am drawn to the scary ones.

DD got the witch, the light blue snowflake queen, the mermaid,
and the pink & green queen. Those are the 4 that she really
wanted and she was touching all the packages until she found them!

DS got the athlete, the red knight and the blue knight. He didn't
care enough to try and figure them out but he wanted his sister and I
to do it. But, we didn't feel like sitting there feeling packages for him
while he wandered around the toy store with Nana. So he just grabbed
3 packages and put them on the counter at check-out time.

Those are my picks too :)

I really like Zorro, the mummy and the grim reaper in the blue set too.

I called the toy shop by us that carries a lot of Playmobil and they said they have them so we're off to the store tomorrow.

Just discovered these today. We only picked up 1 of the blue and 2 pink to start. Sorry I didn't get more, but there is tomorrow.
We got Uncle Sam and the Witch. I really wanted the witch (I admit feeling for the hat and was pretty sure about it) I am trying to save the other pink for DD's birthday (but doubt I can wait until next week!) Any sightings online yet?

Ok I opened the other one (so now I HAVE to get more for birthday) and it's the "cave woman" Baby on her back and crude spoons, bowl and fork in her hands.

My DS just got #12 - the executioner (but I didn't call it that). Totally freaks me out - but my DS thinks it looks like the Imperial Guard from Star Wars so he loves it. It was a bit tricky to put together - you have to put the arms on just right. They were only $2.49 at our local US Toy so I see a lot more in our future!

We call him the Grim Reaper! He is one of our favorites!!
