German Plastic Figure Show Reports December 2017 Part One The show
First Markus reported that they had their first snow of the year. fortunately it melted by end of the day. A good crowd came in once the doors opened to the public. As you will there was a lot of action and many interesting items.
People buying at the show.
Various boxed timpo items. If you are into Timpo then you need to go to Germany.
Various Timpo wagons for sale.
Axel’s Viking fort, we are waiting to hear if Axel sold it or not.

More in Part Two
Insane awesome so much stuff we never see here or barely few of them .I had red reports from various friends from Germany that those show had turn more interesting recently in rare findings .Today i got few email from them and describing their finds .I’m happy x then and the hobby is up there good and running .Looking forward to go and enjoy with them soon.
The unpainted figures looks like the rare plastic brand Kreza Modellbau that made figures in the tradition of Elastolin plastic alike but limited numbers in same scale 1/25 as Elastolin main scale used.Yet i may be wrong as ias far i recall they do knights and few western i think.
My thoughts.,
best
The Marx bridge up close does not look like a Marx bridge, the details are different.
I think it is actually the newer Safari Civil War bridge.

About 12 bucks on Amazon.
And the scale is HO
Mark you are very likely right. when doing these articles I have limited time to do them and they are a lot of work. I glance at the picture and saw the bridge which I related to Marx as I am not up on the new items as I like.
Thanks for the correction.
I sure would like to look through all those boxes just for kicks even if I didn’t like any of them it would be fun.
All those boxes look a little overwhelming. I’d want to look through every one. It would take hours and hours and I’d still probably walk away worrying I missed something. I’d definitely have to leave the wife and kids at home if I went to a show like that. I get stressed out enough looking through used bookstores with them wanting to leave after the first twenty minutes!
Yes those boxes would be over whelm. I know you would have to go therough them again and again. One year a Belgian dealer had a row of boxes and I was through them five times at least and found things each time.
