Awkward moments in the JLU

You can also find Playmobil at some discount stores, like Tuesday Morning. I got the Sphinx that way, and I've seen quite a bit of the Roman stuff, like the arena, there too.

Most of the Playmobil sets that I have seen seem to be more in scale with Imaginext than anything, but some of them can be used with JLU. I would always suggest trying to see the set you are interested in,in person to get a better idea of scale.

I'm currently investigating a theory:

Would a customized Playmobil groom or magician (someone in a tuxedo) make a good Dummy?

You would definitely need a new head.

Clearly. The head can be an original sculpt. I'm more wondering about the Playmobil body as a Dummy buck.

Would need to see them side by side. Might work for Scarface too. Could also be a "JLU" Toyman in DCIH scale, but might be too small for JLU scale.

CCC.

From what I remember of Playmobil

the style is so distinct to itself that I can't see it "meshing well" with any other toy line out there.

Now, to be used as a skeleton to sculpt on top of ....
that has possibilities I would think.

That's what I'm leading towards. I might have to Frankenstein the buck with bits and pieces from Action Heroes or Bandai's Teen Titans (or maybe some Ben 10) plus some original scultping.

I found a Hero World Kilowog at Toys R US. I still like the custom I'm working on better than these two options. But he seems JLU compatible.

Raising kids is never easy, even if you are a One Man Army Corps.

Ha! I laughed.

Thanks for the heads up!!! HW Kilowog looks fantastic! Wow! This design looks more comic book accurate, strong and powerful than the one Bruce Timm did for GL: The Animated Series. No, really... WOW! Streets ahead, man. Streets ahead.

Happy to help. And it suggests that the up-coming Hero World Atrocitus will be an awesome addition to my JLU collection.

They might in a pinch, though Playmobil skews toward the smaller side. You're better off getting castings of mine from Stew. (Blatant plug, but I do not get proceeds from Stew's sales.)
