First Report German Plastic Show Spring 2025, my friend Markus Lecksheid has sent me some photos of the latest German Plastic Show held in Herne Germany. The show was despite a major technical problem. The hydraulic lift of the ground sections for the hall was not working. As the repairs were not able to be done before the show the show was into two floors. The promoter Peter Bergner took over the first floor with the other dealers on the main floor.

As I was writing this report I got an email from my friend Peter Bergner. He said because of the problem with the floor they had to spend Saturday setting up tables on the first. He liked the setup and may set up on the first floor.
Peter sent me a link to the photos he took which are on his site. You can see them here at the show.
Good Luck and See you at PW
Peter, also told me he was going in for a hip replacement. I am sure we all want to wish him well. I will see him at PW.
Here is a close-up of some of Axel Sonhius’s figures. I will be showing more soon.
Axel’s figures are really creative. Are these original Timpo or are they home-made?
Many of figures in the table are Plasty german grand mix with some timpo . Plasty was is a company that produced swapped nice figures in competition with Timpo ,Herald .Elastolin ,cherilea and all over who venture in 1970s to do alike style multipart molded colored figures style .”Plasty,” known for its plastic models and toys, was acquired by AIRFIX, a leading manufacturer, and became known as AIRFIX Deutschland. However, the parent company went bankrupt in 1980, and the firm was reestablished under the original name “PLASTY”.
