A Closer Look At Kids Toy Brands – Playmobil
Playmobil began life some thirty five years ago in Germany when toy maker Hans Beck decided to make a simple but expandable range of figures and playsets. A reaction to the 1973 oil crisis, Beck switched production form toys that required a large percentage of oil to those that could be produced with very little of this precious resource.
Indeed it seems to be the philosophy of Playmobil that a little can go a long way, as demonstrated by the core of the Playmobil line, the figures. One thing that is immediately noticeable about the Playmobil figures is they have no nose. The designed and style of the Playmobil figure is simplified. They have two dots for eyes and a mouth, with very little variation between different figures’ expressions.
The absence of a nose can be traced back to Hans Beck’s intentions. He wanted to emulate a child’s own creations. When kids draw faced they often simplify the facial features, but can achieve a great degree of emotion even so. Hans Beck obviously saw the elegance of this and extended into his whole design philosophy.
Playmobil toys are simple but eminently expressive. Kids can let their imaginations soar with the toys, regardless how simple the designs may be. Without the baggage of a preconceived story line kids can use Playmobil toys to create just about any scenario their imaginations can conceive.
Playmobil are often considered a major competitor to Lego and that is true in some ways but not others. Both Lego and Playmobil are based around figures that interact with vehicles and playsets. That is where the similarity ends.
Lego is foremost a construction toy and while it does take some assembly to put Playmobil sets together (as any parent on Christmas morning can tell you!) after that there is very little reconstruction involved. Lego also have a number of licensed sets, something which Playmobil is staunchly against for they believe kids should be unencumbered with other people’s worlds and stories and free to make up their own.
There is certainly room for both Lego and Playmobil in any child’s life as both are high quality toys that can complement each other wonderfully.
If you are looking for a toy that will last for years both in physical durability and the ability to engage your child through different stage s of life than Playmobil should be on your shortlist.

Space Shuttle 140 Piece Best Lock Construction Toy with Action Figure
Space Shuttle 140 Piece Best Lock Construction Toy with Action Figure Build your own space shuttle with this Best-Lock building set. For ages 5 and up. 140 pieces. Works with other construction toys such as LEGO. Future astronauts LOVE this toy! Our little ‘toy testers’ at home were thrilled to see this product arrive.
Customer Review: Not Lego, but fun
Our boys enjoyed building these, but there are definite draw back in quality. The biggest issue I have with it is that its not really as pictured on the box. I can only presume that was the marketings target product, but there are several difference from what you end up with. The main differences are in the wings, and the cab area, neither are nearly as realistic as the box implies (see image I’ve uploaded for what it looks like built).
The second issue we have is durability. Presumably Lego has some secret plastic formula that make their stuff work well, but these block alternate between requiring force to put together, or spontaneously disassembling themselves. I can only assume heat or elasticity of the plastic is to blame, but it is very frustrating for a young engineer.
Those cons aside I have to agree with the other reviewer, while it didn’t stay together very well on it s own, its got a bunch of neat pieces which have made themselves useful on all sorts of other projects.
Customer Review: Great for many reasons
The best thing about this toy isn’t the shuttle you can build. My 4 year old knocked that out in 10 minutes. The fun began when he started making a fleet of little ships out of it. All legos are like that, but this set especially lends itself to re-creation.
