A Golden Coach… but only until Midnight

            “Cinderella, wondering greatly, obeyed and fetched her godmother the largest pumpkin she could find.  She bade Cinderella put it on the front doorstep, where, bidding the child sit beside her, she withdrew from the bosom of her dress a silver fruit-knife, and with this she scooped out the fruit of the pumpkin, leaving only the rind.  This she set down on the street before them, and then touched it with her wand, when – lo and behold! – the pumpkin was immediately transformed into a magnificent coach, all wrought with pure gold.  It was the most beautiful thing that Cinderella had ever seen.”

‘Cinderella, or the Little Glass Slipper’ – Charles Perrault

This year the FFF+ Group have decided to have a weekly challenge called “Snap Happy”.  A different theme chosen by a member of the group each week, and the image is to be posted on the Monday of the week.

This week the theme, “anything on wheels” was chosen by Phunny,   

A carriage created by magic from the rind of a pumpkin seemed to be the perfect choice for the theme.

Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil are their vibrant colours and the variety of items produced… even a golden coach fit for Cinderella to attend the ball!  

Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany.  Production began in 1974.  Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold.  The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face.  A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line.  Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets.  New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued.  Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
