… 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.

Oh, fab, a Playmo Lockdown. Thank you, somuchtobits. Pleased to see the police have broken up the party, for everyone's safety and wellbeing!

Oh oh!

HarveySchlumpfenburger · 12/04/2020 14:39

Thank you SoMuch. I’ve been waiting for this thread.

Bloodybridget · 12/04/2020 14:46

Yay, thanks SoMuchToBits, you are a legend! Completely agree with a PP that you deserve lifetime Prime Mumsnettership! And a huge Easter egg!

The deadpan commentary is brilliant 🤣🤣

SetPhasersTaeMalkie · 12/04/2020 15:01

I love this. The boys on the bench really do look disreputable. 😂
Just fab.

Neverfore · 12/04/2020 15:05

Thank you! Splendid stuff.

SpangledPandemonium · 12/04/2020 15:09

This is brilliant. Looking forward to seeing Norman. Thank you

TheVanguardSix · 12/04/2020 15:13

YES! Thank you for this! My days now have purpose! Grin

Brilliant idea - marvellous .

Ninkanink · 12/04/2020 15:18

Anyone who hasn’t seen the Playmo archive, it’s well worth searching in Classics.

SoMuchToBits · 12/04/2020 15:42

Ninkanink not all my Playmo threads are in Classics. Some of the more recent ones (advent calendar, last summer's holidays thread) are in Chat, now that it doesn't get deleted after 90 days.

I usually put "for the Playmobil people in our house" as part of the thread title though, if you wanted to search for any of them.

But if you want to see the 2011 Royal wedding, it might be tricky, as this was in the days before you could post photos directly onto the thread. I put those photos on my profile at the time, but after one of the security breach things where I had to change my password, my profile doesn't seem to have any photos on it any more, and my user name doesn't seem to be "clickable" any more. I'm not very techy, so don't know what happened there!

Ah ok! I don’t think I saw the original one but I’m pretty sure I’ve enjoyed all the rest. Such genuine, gentle pleasure in following along.

(Even though, shhhhh, I’ve actually always been more of a Lego person, being Danish 🇩🇰)

SoMuchToBits · 12/04/2020 16:01

We had lots of Lego too when ds was younger. He used that more for building things, and Playmo more for setting up scenes. It's all the little accessories which make it great for scenes.

Love it!!!!

Ninkanink · 12/04/2020 16:12

Yes, it’s way better than a Lego thread would be!

Picture stolen from internet, but might make someone smile?

Thank you SoMuchToBits, I did wonder how the Playmo people were doing.
