Playmobile Goldfinger James Bond and Aston Martin.

This was a surprise. I wonder if they will do more Bond toys?

I am really enjoying the Pkaymobil licensed properties, tho I don’t really care for the figures. The cars and accessories are fantastic. Mostly, I find the generic Playmo shape to be not conducive to ‘feeling’ like any given character. Somehow they miss what Lego and FPLP seem to pull off. That said, the Odd Job in this set is the first Playmobil character that gives me the feel of its film counterpart. Must be the hat. The Aston Martin is crazy cool, and the promo movies are pretty fun.

LOL I remember someone saying they wouldn't allow Mego to get the license because they wanted it for higher end toys like Sideshow... hope this means there is a chance now!

This and the a-team van looks really nice but at £70 each I think I will pass on these two the mystery machine, ecto-1, and delorean were nice but not worth that price.

Wow, that's really cool. Love the ejector seat. And of course they exclude Ms. Galore...

I feel the same way. It seems a little off. The playmobil human figures are so simple and basic. Their faces are basically smiley faces with polka-dot eyes, and they all have the same body shape it seems, while the vehicles, houses, and accessories are more detailed and look like mini-versions of the real thing.
The Scooby Doo playsets didn't bother me as much because they were based on cartoon characters to begin with.

Playmobil pieces work well with 3.75 figures. I think a decent James Bond could he assembled somehow from GI Joe figures.

It's a shame because when you see these figures you instantly think kiddie cheap stuff. But yeah this,the enterprise, the ecto 1, The A Team van and the ghostbusters firehouse all look like amazing toys. Does anyone know if 1:18th scale figures are compatible with these vehicles and playsets?

[Megotastrophe]

Uh yea I just said that.

My favorite Playmobil vehicle commandeered by Joe.

Playmobil is unique in the sense that for many (perhaps most) in the US, Playmobil is considered cheap kids stuff. Internationally that reputation is less so.

But for decades Playmobile has also been a high end "collector" line with huge sets, vast collections and a reputation for producing high quality, accurate and durable replicas of items.

But yet, their figures remain the goofy little "kids" stuff.

In the last few years they're really leaned into licensed properties as well, bumping up their collector oriented stuff, but no change to the figures. Which I understand, but it still creates a push/pull in the US (and maybe some other markets) who struggle to understand why they have fantastic bits and bobs to go with generally pretty clunky figures.
