Last thread had a lot of replies so we might finally get it going... let's try it.***NEWS***>Mattel x Playmobil coming fall 2025 starting with Monster High then in 2026 with Barbie and more.>Kinder Surprise has a limited edition Playmobil x DC series starting this fall in Europe.Archived threads:https://archive.palanq.win/toy/search/subject/Playmobil/Previous:>>11532255Thread question:>What should Playmobil do to be more relevant, like Lego?
>>11548234Paul, you really are going all in before you get perma’d.
>>11548235Who is Paul?
>>11548240Ok, I don't get your problem, you are just a troll. Leave playmo gen please.
>>11548234Playmobil is on the right track to becoming like Lego.Acquire more licensed shit - Done!Make half the figures shitskins - Done!Charge 75% more than their junk is actually worth - Done!Unfortunately for Playmobil, Lego has already cornered the "toddler toys for rich adult retards" market, so it won't make much of a difference.
>>11548234Kino
>>11548234>>What should Playmobil do to be more relevant, like Lego?Dungeons and Dragons but Lego already owns that license.
Do they still make the how to train your dragon playsets?
>>11548239It's anon's boyfriend. They're currently having a tiff.
>>11548544Lego don't own it, they get licenseing deals and the deal with Hasbro could have been for 1 or 2 years worth of a set and cmf, we don't know more. Also, just as lego could, playmobil can do their own take on DnD without having to pay money to Hasbro.
>>11548234When are these eggs out? In US
>>11548701Never
>>11548545Sadly no, they still have some available for the last dragons cartoon, nine realms I think, but no more movie stuff
>>11548234Playmo is dying, but Mattel will probably buy it, invest in it for a few years then kill it
>>11548234>Mattel x Playmobil coming fall 2025 starting with Monster High then in 2026 with Barbie and more.>Kinder Surprise has a limited edition Playmobil x DC series starting this fall in Europe.I'm a 100% sure we get Playmo x MotU next year for the movie
Recommend me playmos
>>11549670Novelmore, its kino
>>11549852Projections
>>11548234why cant it compete with lego?
>>11550871I dunno, playmo is more about roleplay
Apparently we get motu playsets
>>11549670What are you into?
>>11549670
>>11552856Castled, pirates, egypt, romans, ninjas
>>11552927oh this looks so cool!are they gonna do a subaru? I used to play a rally game when I was a kid and my main was a blue subaru.
>>11554133Yep
>>11549670Dino Rise. Alot of the sets are hitting Ollies now, you can gather a sizeable collection for cheap. It's effectively Dino Riders with mechs and magic.
saw the kinder surprise eggs in supermarket alreadyr they worth getting ?
>>11554511I read somewhere that the DC figures are made of cheaper plastic and they're slightly larger by 2cm. They're basically cheap knock-offs.
>>11554586I have them, the plastic is not bad at all, not completely playmo but very close.I do wonder if they will make normal playmobil figures and playsets for DC because they are releasing a OC superhero line.. perhaps DC with Playmo is part of Mattel deal? I'm very curious how they came to such a crossover of Playmobil x DC x Kinder Surprise
>>11554504I saw that yesterday! That was so fucking cool.
>>11554504Holy kino
>>11548234Do we know if these will release in all countries or are region locked? In my country we have kinder surprise with dinosaurs and kinder joy with funko pop x stranger things
>>11555817For now I saw France, UK, Germany, Poland and Italy got these.
>>11548234People are excited about the possibility of Motu x Playmobil with the new Mattel collaboration, but what about Hot Wheels x Playmobil?
>>11556138Very likely
>>11554504I always get a chuckle seeing the dino activating the catapult with its arm.
>>11548234>What should Playmobil do to be more relevant, like Lego?Redesign the figures so their legs can be moved independently in a walking pose and add peg holes to their feet, and also make it so they can be taken apart more easily for customization. Maybe also shorten their legs and arms a bit to give them more of a kiddie charm.Playmobil is good at making cars. They should focus on making more cars to attract car enthusiasts. To maximize appeal to car collectors, they need to make it possible to open the doors, trunks and hoods of the cars.They also need a Space combat theme, either creating their own or possibly acquiring the Star Wars or Halo license.
>>11556879I think they never got star wars because of hasbro since these would compete with hasbro star wars playsets. Not with lego btw because it's different type of toys. That's why they don't have Marvel either.
>>11556879>Redesign the figures so their legs can be moved independently in a walking posethere are several figures like this, but yeah they could do all of them>make it so they can be taken apart more easily for customizationfigure series figures are already like this
>>11556879They already do that
>>11556955Normal playmos can't do that?
>>11557130No
>>11557130They can
>>11548234I didn't find any :(
>>11557981Did you look?
>>11558019Yes
>>11554504Thats funny
Playmobil announced a big promo/marketing push for 2026 with different IPs. More to come at licensing expo in october (perhaps MotU and DC themes?). More mcdonalds promos soon too.
I think Playmobil needs a license like Star Wars to stay relevant, but DC could work too, since the competition doesn’t really focus on playsets—and even Lego doesn’t make many DC sets anymore. They could profit from this, especially when James Gunn’s DCU starts producing $1 billion films, which is likely to happen soon.
>>11559388This
>>11559388There's lots of potential if they somehow marketed their props to the 1:18 crowd.A little disclaimer at the bottom like "accesories work on 4in figures!"
Playmobil has registered a new trademark, and for now, this is all there is, a grayscale logo. And a document in the German trademark registry that confirms the news. What do you imagine it could be?At first glance, it looks like a messaging app, kind of like WhatsApp!“Hello!”Is it opening a channel of dialogue with users and collectors?It’s time to speculate!
>>11560103Based on the above, it also seems to me that they are planning to open a direct communication channel between fans and the company's customer support department. This is truly welcome news!
Did anyone find this collection? I kinda like these smaller cartoonish cars of the real ones!
>>11560116
>>11560116Ok but Is there realistic looking playmo ford raptors?
>>11560121NopeThere are of the other cars though
No playsets yet
>>11548234Are the kinder maxi playmobil figures same size as normal playmo figures?
>>11548234Apparently the Naruto line didn't sell that well. Asterix is still selling well, best in France. Miraculous sells great.I think if they do another anime it should be DBZ.I also want playmobil tmnt.
>>11560103Probably just some stupid app gimmick some toys will work with.Makes them talk or something.
This is neat
>>11560253I will cry if Playmobil don't do actual figured and playsets for DC next year and this is all we getJust like Dr Who and TMNT playmos
I know Playmobil gets compared to Lego a lot, even though they’re totally different kinds of toys. But I’ll give them this: when Playmobil had licenses that Lego also had, like Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, and Scooby-Doo—they really went all in. In my opinion, Playmobil did an amazing job. I don’t own any of those sets and probably never will, but I can appreciate what they did with them. They built their worlds really well.
>>11560261Pure kino
>>11560253Cute
>>11560261For me it's ecto 1
>>11553315All of that stuff exist in Playmobil form.
>>11561659But are they still available?
Ollie's!The prices seemed kinda high, for Ollie's, but Playmobil is typically expensive, so it's probably alright. I went to two different locations, and the 2nd one was totally slacking, hardly any of them out yet, so good luck if you go check
>>11562591Hats?
>>11562648>$3It's over for playmo
Generic knights and castles coming back to the catalogue in 2026, it seems, with Lion and Dragon Knights instead of Novelmore.I like this. There's still a fantasy element with trolls and dragons, and I think previous Dragon Knights generally combine with Burnham Raiders very nicely, like knights and pyromancers of a common faction, so that's something to link people who liked Novelmore.>New Knights references72112: Great Castle of the Lion Knights72113: Tower of the Dragon Knights72114: Dragon Knights and great black dragon72115: Lion Knights with bombard72116: Lion Knight with troll and treasure72117: Dragon Knight with catapult72118: Dragon Knight leader with lieutenant72119: Lion Knight leader with worseFound on amclicks forums (Spanish), no pics yet, will be updated with pics in the future.

Asterix, Ladybug and Naruto seem to be over. Also Playmobil seems to focus on kids market again and abandon the adult market from the looks of it.New lines are Esa Space and Mattel IPs such as Monster High and Barbie. Perhaps MotU if we are luvky and Hot Wheels to have boy properties too.

Where the heck do you guys find playmobil? I haven't seen them at my local walmart in decades, same with Megabloks
>>11563724find a "rich person" neighborhoodsearch for local mom-n-pop, brick n mortar toy stores near that area of townfor example, there's a local toy store in Princeton that always gets the new Playmobil stuff. they were doing so well with it, that one year, they opened up a Playmobil-only extra store in the same shopping area! (that was years ago though, their Playmobil section got a lot smaller recently)
It seems we are not getting bumped anymore
Why are playmobils so expensive?
>>11563829They aren't
There's a rumour going on that Hasbro is interested to buy Playmobil..
>>11564090It's over...
Why don't playmobil get licenses such as star wars?
