We’ve enjoyed reviewing a number of Playmobil sets over the past few years, and we hope to continue doing so for the foreseeable future. It’s such a great time opening up the boxes, getting the sets built, and  getting it all setup with our other sets. When Playmobil reached out with the chance to review the Playmobil 1-2-3 sets, some featuring our favourite Disney characters, I jumped at the chance. Reviewing these sets is not about where my kids are…

A few years ago, we received some of Playmobil’s 1.2.3 lineup of toys. These toys were aimed at children ages 1 – 3, and our son had a blast using the small water park we received. The 1.2.3 sets tend to be a big chunkier than standard Playmobil, and include characters with less articulation and accessories. As they are toys aimed at young children, these are by no means negatives about the toys! In fact, the 1.2.3 lineup from Playmobil…

My youngest child is in love with Playmobil, and over the past year or so he’s seemed to move away from fantasy sets and into more realistic sets, primarily in the City, Pony, and Country themes. Last week, we built both the City Action Fire Truck and the City Action Ambulance, and both provided a fantastic experience. Let’s take a look at each, and see why these are magnificent additions to your Playmobil collection. City Action Fire Truck Included: 2…

The Playmobil Recycling truck is one big boy, and it has a ton of play features as well. But one thing I really like about this set is how it teaches my son early on how important it is to recycle products as opposed to throwing them out. It’s nice to see a toy that can be a lot of fun, and be educational! Included: Figures: 2 garbage collectors; Accessories: 1 recycling truck, 2 tetra packs, 3 bottles, 3 stacks…

Reviewing Playmobil products is one of my favourite things to do because it really lets me connect with my youngest on his level. He absolutely adores the products and uses them everywhere, including during bath time. He’s recently become a bit interested in sports at the ripe young age of 4, and watching the Maple Leafs with me is something he’s come to enjoy. When I saw Playmobil had NHL themed sets, I knew I had to jump! Two specific…

Over a month ago, Playmobil reached out to let us know they were launching a brand new line of Playmobil figures called, My Figures. With My Figures, Playmobil was giving children around the world the opportunity to create their own figures using a wide array of character pieces, instead of just accepting pre-created characters. This would allow consumers to create characters that were more representative of themselves. We looked at two of the My Figures sets last week, and had…

I love generic themed toy playsets as much as the next person, and Playmobil does a number of great themes. Lincoln, my 4 year old, really loves all the Country sets, inclusive of the farms, tractors, mobile homes, and more. But every once in a while, it’s nice to take a licenced theme toy for a spin. Over the past week or so, Lincoln and I have been taking a deep dive into the world of Scooby-Doo Playmobil, and he…

Over the last few weeks, my 4 year old Lincoln has been diving back into the world of Playmobil, checking out the various sets we've purchased and received in the past, and taking a few new review sets for a spin. While he does love all of his Playmobil, a few sets are standing out to him recently. They all belong to the Wiltopia line. We've had the pleasure of looking at both the Animal Care Station and the Anteater Care sets, and now we are moving onto something new: the Research Tower with Compass set. Let's check it out!

When you have the opportunity to review a lot of products from one company, you quickly realize what works and what doesn't. With each Playmobil set I've reviewed, I've generally been really pleased with what my kids and I have experienced. Unfortunately, there are times when a set doesn't quite meet the expectations of myself, and perhaps Playmobil either. Over the last week, we have reviewed two large Playmobil sets, the Wiltopia Animals Care Station and the Pony Farm. We looked at the Animal Care Station last week, so let's take a deep dive on the Pony Farm!

Not every Playmobil set we review is huge, and not every Playmobil set we review is great for multiple kids at once. I do enjoy that Playmobil has these smaller sets, because not only are they a good price, but they are a good value as well. We've looked at a lot of Dino Rise sets in the past, so why not look at another. Here is my deep dive on Dino Rise - Pteradon Attack!
