A few days ago, whilst admiring my beloved Playmobil Victorian Series collection, I was extremely astonished to discover that one of the figures looks extremely like the renowned Comedy actor and director "Charlie Chaplin"!!!

這個人偶有出現在總共兩組維多利亞系列產品裏面:5350 和 5955

In fact, this figure actually appears in two different Victorian 1900 sets, which are 5350 and 5955!!


我之前就超喜歡這個人偶的,因為他的打扮非常有維多利亞紳士的風格,還有個可愛的翹鬍子!現在發現他很像卓别林,就更喜歡他啦

I had always loved this figure for its old-style gentlemen suit and his curly mustache; now that I found out he looks like Chaplin, I just can't stop admiring it :P (here we go again =.=)!!

維基百科對卓別林的描述

『查爾斯·斯賓賽·「查理」·卓別林爵士,KBE(英語:Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin,1889年4月16日-1977年12月25日)是一位英國喜劇演員及反戰人士,後來也成為一名非常出色的導演[2],尤其在好萊塢電影的早期和中期他非常成功和活躍。他奠定了現代喜劇電影的基礎,與巴斯特·基頓、哈羅德·勞埃德並稱為「世界三大喜劇演員」,卓別林戴著圓頂硬禮帽和禮服的模樣幾乎成了喜劇電影的重要代表,往後不少藝人都以他的方式表演。
卓別林最出色的角色是一個外貌流浪漢,內心則一幅紳士氣度、穿著一件窄小的禮服、特大的褲子和鞋、戴著一頂圓頂硬禮帽、手持一根竹拐杖、留著一撇小鬍子的形象。在無聲電影時期卓別林是最有才能和影響最大的人物之一。他自己編寫、導演、表演和發行他自己的電影。從在英國的大劇院作為孩童演員登台演出,到他88歲高齡逝世為止,他在娛樂業從事了70多年的生涯。從狄更斯式的倫敦童年一直達到了電影工業的世界頂端,卓別林已成為了一個文化偶像。』

From Wikipedia: "Sir Charles Spencer "Charlie" Chaplin, KBE (16 April 1889 – 25 December 1977) was a British comic actor and filmmaker who rose to fame in the silent era. Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona "the Tramp" and is considered one of the most important figures of the film industry. His career spanned more than 75 years, from a child in the Victorian era to close to his death at the age of 88, and encompassed both adulation and controversy.
Chaplin wrote, directed, produced, edited, scored, and starred in most of his films. He was a perfectionist, and his financial independence meant he often spent years on the development and production of a picture. His films are characterised by slapstick combined with pathos, and often feature the Tramp struggling against adversity. Many contain social and political themes, as well as autobiographical elements. In 1972, as part of a renewed appreciation for his work, Chaplin received an Honorary Academy Award for "the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century". He continues to be held in high regard, with The Gold Rush, City Lights, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator often ranked among the greatest films of all time."

For those of you hard-workers out there (if there is any!? :P)---------------->Click me for extensive reading!! 

我就不再多說了,趕緊放照片上去給大家比對比對他們兩個到底有哪裡像吧

Ooops, I "accidentally" talked too much again! :P
Anyway, I'd better release the suspense and put some comparison pictures before any of you explode from curiosity! XD



哇,真的超像卓别林的!! 不管是古代紳士的帽子、捲捲兒頭髮、西裝、拐杖或是翹翹鬍子都超級相似!相似度高達百分之九十五耶!

Wow, they really do look alike, don't they?? The bowler hat, suit, collar, walking-stick and curly mustache are all similarities!! Hmmmm, I would say........95% similar!!!! >.<

他既然神似卓别林,那我就給他取個名字,叫做『查理·摩比林』~~讓他來扮演摩比界的卓别林!

Due to their similarity, I officially name this Playmobil figure "Charlie Mobilin"!!! (applause)
He is the Chaplin of the Playmobil World!!! :D

我也上網找了找一些卓别林著名影片的一些畫面,並用摩比來重新拍攝場景;讓大家也好好兒打量打量這個『查理·摩比林』的各個角度

I also did some further research on some freeze-frames from his famous films, and I used Playmobil to produce some reenactments!! So you can see Mobilin from all perspectives! :P


這張來自他1918年所演出的《狗的生涯》



這張來自他1931年所演出的《城市之光》,《城市之光》被認定是卓别林的經典作之一


相信大家也會和我一樣喜歡這個可愛的摩比角色!一起來玩摩比吧!!

I doubt that their close resemblance is a coincidence, maybe it isn't at all and Playmobil produced this figure for Chaplin's whichever birthday anniversary!!! Hmmmmm, who knows??? We never know!!! 

But we do know that regardless of the answer, we will continue to like this adorable (and discontinued :P) Playmobil Victorian 1900 figure!!! Right???? :P

森林家族日版2013年4月新品〜大失望!Great Disappointment for the Sylvanian Families Epoch April 2013 New Products

昨天閒來無事,在官網上閑晃。興高采烈地發現森林家族2013年4月的新品在日本已經開始販售啦!我趕緊上去看看有啥新鮮的,順便先想好要買甚麼,等到新品來台後就可以大敗特敗啦

Yesterday, I was doing one of my frequent check-outs on the Sylvanian Families Epoch Official Website and I discovered that the April 2013 new products are already released in Japan! I was really happy to start my wish-list so I can start fulfilling them immediately once they eventually reach my local shop in Taiwan!

可是,當我看見新品時,心理充滿的卻只有遺憾與感嘆

先不多說,放上去給大家瞧瞧,你們便會理解我的心情

However, I was speechless when I saw the new products! And no, not because of its beauty, but due to disappointment in its design! Anyway, I'd better give you some prove before I proceed any further. :P
