We're All Just Big Kids At Heart...


Click on photo for a bigger view. In preparation for the annual Nuremberg Toy Fair which starts next week-- a VERY big deal here (historically, Nuremberg was the European center of toymaking for hundreds of years), the good folks at Playmobil ponied up with these man-sized figurines scaling the downtown Karstadt store (a mix of Macy's and Fred Meyer) to greet the almost 3,000 exhibitors and thousands (the show website claims 80,000) attendees. Playmobil is HQ'd two towns over, and offers a Fun Park (as in: be in a Playmobil diorama) for the young'uns, though I wish they offered a grown-up night or something.

Off to Munich to do a little work next week, so the posts will be lighter than usual. Have a great weekend everybody!
