An outbreak of Covid-19 has occurred for the Playmobil people in our house...

[SoMuchToBits]

… and so over the next few days I'll be bringing you some scenes of a Playmobil Pandemic.

People are allowed out for exercise, but must practise social distancing. Janice and Preston are both out for a run but are making sure they don't get too close.

Is there a police station, btw? I can guarantee that those Bad Boys will end up in the cells before they're much older!

They were originally from this set playmodb.orgbacks/3/3161_back_box.jpg

At the time (when ds was about 7 or 8) there was a game on the Playmobil website called Bicycle Cops. In the game the bicycle cop (we have him and we call him Raymond) is chasing Jack Jellyhead (that's what he was called in the game). After that ds and I decided all the robbers should have names with desserts in them!

I think we have about 3 police stations! Ds went through a massive police obsession when he was younger (not to mention a fire engine obsession, a construction obsession, a lifeboat obsession etc).

DS did too! but we weren't living in the UK when he was growing up, so no Playmo. Can't remember who made his stuff - Matell, something like that? - but the storage boxes etc are still going strong!
Back to your theme, tho. Great to see Norm on the scene again.

@Ninkanink That sounds like the Playmobil ‘lockdown nostalgia’ package. 😆

Yup!!
I'm looking forward to one of the female playmo people attempting their own bikini wax for the first time, or having a home box dye disaster

😁 maybe the Playmo Woman will be lucky and have just recently purchased a Lumea!

Might someone attempt a home haircut? I suppose that would be tricky (as their hair can't get shorter). But the victim could wear a hat for a few weeks?

You can change the Playmo people's hair, so a haircut is entirely feasible...

Here's what Norman would look like with red hair.

Love the press conference

Are any Playmo people working from home, using Zoom for meetings? Or perhaps doing PE with Joe Wicks in the mornings?

Matthias is working from home. Not quite sure how I'd do Zoom though.

Elton John with a 'tache..

Playmo clippers needed then!

Norman looks fantastic with red hair. I’m concerned about his mug being empty. Is there a shortage of tea?

No, this photo was taken about 9 years ago, and he had just finished his cuppa and was going for a top-up!

Surely some of the playmo kids are taking advantage of the lockdown to dye their hair, if RL is anything to go by.

Phew!

Hair dyeing sounds like another interesting option!

My dd and I have dyed our hair. Hers is red and mine is purple .

Any more Playmo lovers please come and join us. More photos will appear tomorrow.

SoMuch, today's Sunday Times mentions this thread in some brief detail, in an article about how mothers are dealing with the pandemic, clearly based on a journalist briefly trawling mumsnet's active threads! Sorry there's a pay wall so I can't link, but I thought you'd be amused.

I've just woken up and it's sunny outside. I want to go to the beach with Jack Jellyhead and the boys!

Op my kids are waiting for photos and you've inspired them to do this kind of thing with their own play Mobil do you can imagine how much I love you xxx

FlosCampi fame at last! Maybe I should buy a copy...

sanealaddin you might get arrested by Michael the beach policeman!
