Magnum PI by Playmobil

#1 Post by Vanity »

Hi guys,
Feel good to be back on THE Magnum P.I. forum. Was away for way too long.
Anyway, just came across this post further to the UK Toy Show.
Playmobil (very strong toy brand in Europe) will be launching our favourite series this coming August.
Below the link to the article and pics of how it is supposed to look like.

Welcome back. It’s been quite a few years!

I’m curious as to why Higgins has a parrot while the Dobermans are absent??? Nice job with the Ferrari, though the roof can be discarded… forever, and outside the estate front gate. :wink: :lol:

I was asking myself the same question.
They must have only watched the Birdman from Budapest :roll:

This is excellent. Thanks for sharing, Vanity, and great to see you back!

Amazing that Magnum still has enough cache to merit an official release. I remember back when mandolabar's son made his own Lego set and we discussed it as a possible official release, but it never came to be. Looks like someone even pitched it to Lego through their suggestion platform.

Kudos to Playmobil for taking it to production.

Agreed and a second thanks for sharing it. Love Thomas losing his "top" (cap) in the driveway "take-off" instead of the 308! Whole thing is just so very well done. (Just my humble opinion of course.) :geek:

I think I might even watch a series done with this "Lego" team! :lol: :lol: :lol: :P
