Playmobil SEA WITCH!

Playmobil: Waterworld - Magical Ocean Queen 4816 - Playmobil 2009

There was a brief period about twenty years ago when I became obsessed with Playmobil.  There was a little boutique kids store in my hometown that had a whole wall of them and I found them adorable and cheap (they cost about $2.50 at the time).  It was a quickly passing fad for me though and I soon passed on my small collection to my young relatives.  Then a few years ago Playmobil started releasing their blind bag Fi?ures series and my interest was renewed.  I've collected a few random figures here and there, but my favorite overall theme is to collect witches and evil queens.  My inability to find the Series 6 Maleficent figure was the only reason I didn't do a big group review this past Halloween.  This Sea Witch figure (also known as Magical Ocean Queen) is one of my favorites.  There's nothing like a good evil mermaid.  She was a part of a fantastic series called Waterworld which consisted of Mermaids, Mer-men, Underwater Ghouls, Sea-Beasts, etc.  Let's check out the Sea Witch below!











The circular eye template is visible when up close.  I'm assuming most Playmobils with non-dot eyes look like this.




It might be hard to tell in these pictures, but she has a black mermaid fin instead of feet.







The Magical Ocean Queen comes with a Seahorse, a Seaweed Harness, Electrical Bolts, an Eel, and a Sharp-Toothed fish.









Here are some snapshots of the pack-in catalog insert.












Time for a Comparison Shot!




Cheers!

  1. Playmobil have made some really great characters and they do right by their girls too, without focusing only on princesses and faeries (but they have those too!) I have a Maleficent but really need the polkadot dress wearing gal from the latest wave so I can make a 50s Harley Quinn. Hit me up if you want to talk trade!

    1. Is this the polka-dotted figure you mean?

      I didn't even realize I had her until I was going through a box of stuff to sell on ebay. If you want to swap her for Maleficent I'm totally in!
