The German company based in the bavarian Zirndorf (near Fürth) has earned numerous awards for this magnificent, one of a kind item with themes that stimulates both creativity and imagination.

Kids find it delightful. The two and three quarter inch figure is the cornerstone of Playmobil. It features bendable moving legs and arms with grasping hands. The Playmobil displays pleasant facial expressions that are ideal for any play situation, while being a perfect size for the small hands of a child. All figures feature the compatibility of joining all the Playmobil play worlds, their accessories and vehicles. Therefore, it is common to see a Policeman exploring the underwater world in a Submarine or perhaps a Knight doing Farm chores.
