More toy figure weirdness, there are designed for HO railway dioramas:

They have a great line for sad sack refugees and prisoners, as well.  My buddy used them for his 1942 "German Army Goes East" setting.

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Playmobil launches Fi?ures Series 3
August 2012


Playmobil's third series of Fi?ures introduces first ever pregnant character.

Playmobil has announced the launch of Fi?ures Series 3, the latest instalment in the top-selling collectibles range. The mystery-bagged pocket money toys will feature two all-new assortments of twelve figures and include the toy giant's very first pregnant character.

Simply called 'Pregnant Woman', the design is in response to requests from children from across the globe who send in hundreds of drawings and ideas each month. The expectant mother appears to be in the early stages of pregnancy and stands at 7.5cm, like all Playmobil figures.

Not only is that toy depicting someone pregnant, it has apparently been designed to depict someone shot in the face with birdshot.  :(
