Call me Ishmobil

Playmobil hits a home-freakin-run again, this time with a Playmobil set that includes M*TH#%FU(%!NG QUEEQUEG!!!!

And a hammerhead shark!

And, presumably, Ishmael.

DID I MENTION QUEEQUEG?!?!??!?!?!?!

Officially dubbed 'Pirates Rowboat with Shark'; you can't fool ME Playmobil - I know deep down in my soul that your tattooed islander with the freaking harpoon is Queequeg of 'Moby Dick' fame.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this set  on the shelves at Toys R Us this weekend. There's absolutely no rational reason for me to own this set, and it's close to twenty bucks, so I put it back down and walked away.

But I don't know how long I can hold out.

I've already been won over recently by Playmobil's Executioner and Headhunter figures, but I have yet to dive in face first and actually buy a full Playmobil playset. But how can I pass up on adding an unabashed cannibal to my roster of sorely inappropriate Playmobil toys?!?! I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR THAT!!!!

Good lord, I need to stay out of toy stores. It's like sending an alcoholic into a liquor store.

  1. Playmobil makes some seriously cool stuff and like you i am hooked Bubba. I wish they would make a haunted house/castle set that would be seriously awesome.

  2. Eventually Toys R Us gets around to doing their 20-30% off Playmobil sale. Usually it happens once a month.

  3. I can't get too close to Playmobil because I love them so much too that I would go batshit crazy in that aisle and it would not end well for anyone.
