I like this calendar quite a bit…so far. Perhaps the Gods of Playmobil have stuffed good items early in the calendar with a sinister hope to lure me away from Lego calendars. It’s working.

Yesterday’s Jonas Cannoncube was a fantastic surprise, and I like him even more today. Did I mention his jacket is a deep, rich shade of purple? It’s luxurious.

What’s behind today’s door?

A crutch and a sack!

I have no idea how Jonas Cannoncube is meant to use the crutch. It doesn’t really fit under his arm, so he can only hold it at an angry angle, as if pointing and telling someone, “If I wanted skim milk in my latte, I would have ASKED for skim milk in my latte! Are you the manager? Is ANYONE here the manager?!”

As for the sack? There’s probably a severed head in there — or antique, turn of the century Doritos.

Day 3 Rating: 2.7 out of 5 (Points deducted because Jonas can’t really use the crutch…as near as I can figure out.)

See you tomorrow!
