First, the mandatory disclaimer:
I've been told I am sometimes harsh on my comments. Keep in mind I LOVE playmobil. It is GREAT. Without a doubt and by FAR, the GREATEST toy on the Universe. And also keep in mind that I've gotten a box (or two) of each boys and girls since the first series - meaning, despite all the "problems" I point out, they are VERY MUCH WORTH IT. We ALL know playmobil rules, so I suppose I tend to point out the problems. There are only so many ways of saying AWESOME, right?


First impression of the box: where's the app? The 50th logo is still present.

Note how FULL the girls box is - not only the mandatory big skirt, but another skirt, the star and the astronaut suit!

Another strong series, with a couple of duds... From the first pics, the Alien, Aboriginal Australian, Caveman and Fire Juggler stood out on the boys, and the Cavewoman and the Student's hair on the girls.

As with the previous series outer boxes are different... weird. Very weird.

The packs...

The leaflets...

With the app not being a factor, we are back to the previous version of the papers, which is an improvement. Still freaks though.


The app.... just went poof. Considering the state of it, better this way. It was an insult to playmobil. We'll see if it returns. Hopefully in more capable and caring hands.

Strange option for the 50th - but playmobil doesn't seem to see this important milestone as a big deal. A shame.


The series... no diapers - always good... A LOT of speedos: 4 in the boys and 5 in the girls... Far too many. And one pregnant lady in the girls. The head and arms can be switched... go figure.


There were a couple of rubberbanded bags used - I would really love to know WHY... when tiny things like bracelets and flowers are just lose in there.

The extras.... very poor this time

Strange that there were so many large extras from two figures (half the star and the skirt) - unfortunately, not interesting parts.

The highlight is the Aboriginal Australian's head The speedo arms are kinda useless, unless there is a single matching one already.. Is this a good place? Gendered speedo arms is a lousy idea. Even worse that plain left and right ones!


And.. there were problems as usual. This time, no missing parts, but this is more serious, I think. And apparently this is not an issue with mine, but with all of them...

First, there's Miles Davis' head: the wrong plastic is used.

Then there's the Girl Scout and the Fire Juggler: different shades of green were used in the legs. They look ridiculous.

All of these are unfixable - we can try to hide them. I find it worrying that someone saw this and thought it was fine... Or they just didn't see it.


Well, you know how it works: follow all the pages to see everything, or use these shortcuts for a specific figure:
