MASSIVE thanks to t'Patrons, as I wouldn't have been able to get all this plastic oddness together without them. / ashens
Kids learn through play. And it's about time they learned how to crack safes, clean up hazardous materials and go to the toilet on a building site! And there's also an authority figure and a homeless man, because... er... yes?
Anyway, I think Playmobil's a great toy and it was super fun to get some of the weirder pieces together. But most importantly, this video goes to show that my building site office set is MOSTLY FULL OF THE WRONG PIECES. Gah.
Something I really wish I could have got my hands on: There was a promotional figure of Captain Birdseye! Or "Captain Iglo" as he's known in France, as it was a French exclusive.
Here are the names and references of all the sets shown, in case that's of interest to someone:
5203 (12) - Hangman (2011)
3161 - Safe Crackers (2002)
3180 - Hazmat Crew (2002)
5504 - Hobo And German Policeman (1990)
9844 - Mobile Toilet (2019)
3260 - Construction Crew's Office (2003)
4546 - Nile Queen (1997)
9325 - Martin Luther (2017)
70680 - Sebastian Kneipp (2021)
9326 - Theodor Fontane (2018)
4225 - Doctor with Incubator (2006)
70139 (11) - Double Tooth (2019)
The German Chancellor figure I mention is 9452 - Ludwig Erhard (2018).
Luther and Kneipp theme by the ever-excellent Daniel Williams.

I like how Ashens is astounded at how many "weird" playsets there are, but throughout the video he illustrates the exact purpose of all the weird sets and generic faces: fostering imaginations that encourage play and story-telling. The situations and skits in this video were great and they would have not been nearly as entertaining if it was more normal/typical stuff.

I believe that Von Bismarck, on a visit to London, visited a brewery, and was given some of their strongest beer to try. He enjoyed it so much, that he drank quite a bit, and left the brewery hammered. He got his coachman to stop on the way home, and had a lie down on a bench on the embankment, until, presumably the 'whirly pits' died down. THAT'S the Playmobil set I want to see.

The hazardous waste clean-up crew is actually pretty rare as playmobile goes.

(As all the impossibly cool kids we’re doing at the time.) Unbeknown to us, a missionary spied it during the night, took it, and pinned it to the cathedral doors. I only found out about this months later after we worked with him for a church event; he’d asked where I lived, which prompted him to begin with, “funny story but…” We initially feared that our Anglo Catholic neighbour (with whom we had very friendly relations) had taken offence and ripped it down. Thankfully, the truth was even stranger.

My 5 year old absolutely loves the playmobil movie and I’d say it ticks lots of boxes for a good kids film; lots of action, bright colourful characters and great songs. The only thing that is a bit much is the fact both the kids parents die within the first five minutes (yes, really!) they could’ve probably used a less harrowing device to bring the sibling characters together. I do chuckle when I watch grown men give earnest reviews of how awful it is 😂 perhaps a film about a fantastical journey into a world of plastic toys wasn’t actually made for them?
