Judging by the trailer and the overall concept of the film, I bet that this would be the Emoji Movie of 2019. |

What the heck happened to Playmobil? I grew up with it, and back then they didn't have all these licensing deals with Porsche or Dreamworks. |

Ideal for planting firecrackers - the ones my uncle got his hands on are all amputees with holes in their chests and missing arms and legs. ![]() The early figures were made out of much cheaper material (and I believe they were produced in West Germany) when production moved to Malta they became much more durable. I believe the cars (I had the minivan, city bus, lifted 4x4, two convertibles and a police car) were loosely based off real models. Due to the plate suffixes on the cars, in Germany cars with that plate /vehicle_648794-Skoda-Favorit-Typ-781-1993.html were jokingly referred to as 'Playmobil cars' -- Last edit: 2019-10-25 22:50:35 |

I actually had that as a kid, though mine was grey. The working pop-up headlights were probably the best part. |

So I researched the history of Playmobil in the US, and as it turns out, it was initially only sold in the South and in New England plus DC, and only at select locations. It seems to have only been sold from late 1977 to early 1980, then nothing until a very brief and microscopic stint at the turn of the century, around 1998-2001. |
