PLAYMOBIL is the world of miniature. Playmobil was invented by Hans Beck and introduced to the world at the 1974 International Toy Fair. It's a system of themed playworlds filled with durable figures and everyday things found in the real world. Each figure can bend, sit, stand, turn its head and move its arms. The hands can grasp, rotate, and carry accessories, which makes realistic role play possible. With PLAYMOBIL, children can explore new concepts about the world, process what they see and stimulate their imagination.
