Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter
Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany.
The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm (approximately 3
inch) tall (1:24 scale) human figure, in its early days known as a
"klicky". A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as
well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line.
Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well
as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines
developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older
sets are discontinued.
Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced
in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable
community of collectors. Collector activities extend beyond collecting and
free-form play and include customization, miniature wargaming, and the creation
of photo stories and stop motion films, or simply as decoration.
And of course, a good many wearing (Basque) berets!
Thanks, José
