I was wondering where my palm tree had got to! Been waiting weeks for BA to get back to me about it, but obviously I should have just asked El Reg first!

Thank you!!!

Nicely done - yay for the swords and guns as well. Thought it might be NSFW when I saw the headline...

Class touch about T5 too :)

Am I the only one who remembers a Spitting Image sketch with Neil Kinnock on Weekend World whoring for votes and saying "Lesbians! Lovely lesbians!"

When I grow up I want to be a journalist too - that way my Mom will stop bitching at me for playing with my little brothers toys.

I hope these reenactments are a regular feature of El Reg. A bit of exclusive material is exactly what is needed and these are better than BOFH by a long shot.

I reckon that the Duplo figures are a hit. There is so much more you could do with them - perhaps a regular reature, or a RegDuplo content stream, or summat.

Now any chance of posting a larger resolution form of this pic (and other Playmobil classics) so I can use them as backgrounds on my desktop and thus maintain that "thank god it's Friday" chortle factor feeling all through the week - pretty please?

"Lsbians, lovely Lesbians"... aaaah yes indeed (showing my age a bit)... and there's, "Black people, lovely lovely Black people, and Children, all those wonderful Children".

Mind you, couldn't type any of that these days or we'd end up getting arrested for sexism, racism and/or paedophilia. Ooops, better just go and hand ourselves into the thought police now - save them the expense of looking for us.

Gotta admit I rather agree. Frankly it is tiring to be titillated by the NSFW tag, only to see tiny plastic bosoms worth nothing to oogle over.

Please, could El Reg change that tag to something more appropriate, like NSFL, and keep the NSFW for real, honest-to-goodness bulgarian airbags (inflated or not) ?

Aw, how rotten for you to be titillated by the prospect of plastic bosoms, only to be thwarted with the sight of other plastic bosoms.

Think of it as titillation training.

What? You mean Legos isn't the island next door to Lesbos.

(But being pedantic, Lego isn't supposed to be used as a head noun, so should never be pluralised. </pet_peeve>)

Its playmobil.

Lego people have knees up at their groin and very flat square fleet.

If you really want to feat you eyes on the complete playmobil range try this for size

My kids had both but i always favoured the playmobil stuff as it was much more lifelike !!
