I have some fond memories of playing with Playmobil figures when I was young so I was excited to visit their booth at Toy Fair 2012. One thing that immediately struck me when I walked into the booth was that these were not the same toys I remembered. In fact these were BETTER than the Playmobil figures of my youth. This year’s line up has some very expansive and detailed playsets that should really get kids out there fully engaged with their imagination. Our favorite playset was the ‘Soccer’ stadium set that was actually a fold-up travel case so the whole set can be packed up at a moments notice. All the sets are so detailed it looks like they thought of everything, as evidenced by the inclusion of a little field mouse hiding amongst the bales of hay in the ‘Farm’ set. There is also a series of collectible blind packaged figures that will feature unique outfits that can be interchangeable. There are a lot of great stuff coming from Playmobil this year, and there’s something fun for everyone, not to mention their Olympic set! Check out some great stuff in our gallery below.
