No, it isn't Playmobil :-[ but it is the correct scale at 1/18.

Made by Road legends, with working steering and suspension and opening doors, bonnet and boot adjustable seats etc

Here it is pictured next to the oversized Playmobil fire/rescue SUV:

Great vehicle, flatcat, and a good choice for your avatar.  At 1:18 it is strictly speaking overscale for Playmobil which is 1:22.5, but it looks OK and the Playmobil figures fit inside.

Thanks for the correction Gordon, I couldn't quite remember from our previous discussion :-[

Anyway, I think it would be nice if Playmobil added this much detail into their vehicles, as I have a playBig Unimog fire truck, which has great detail such as opening doors, engine detail, cabin detail etc.

Admit it Damo - your avatar's just trying to impress Lizzie!   :inlove:
(It's much cooler than the dirty white truck you used when you last took her out!)

Nice new ride flatcat. ;D
I've thought about getting a 1/18 vehicle for Playmobil.  This one looks great.  I know some vehhicles that size the klicky won't fit in the driver's seat. 
On a side note, I noticed you shoot alot of stuff in you backyard, are your neighbors ever like "Oh there goes that kook again with all his playmobil"  Just wondering.   ;D

Cool ride and I love the offroad pics  :love:

Definitely an inspiration to look into the 1/18th to 1/22th scale for my Victorians  ;)

Yes, that PlayBig Unimog is very nice indeed.  Have you seen the ambulance version with the lside out body?  Here's a link to a site I've just found:

Mind you, the PlayBig figures were ghastly!

Thanks everyone :wave:

Here is a pic of the very detailed underside:

We only have neighbours on one side, and they are hardly ever in. We did the garden up last year, and put bark on all the flowerbeds to stop weeds but it was much better for photographs before, but at least there is no weeding to be done now. One consollation was that I got to drive the digger >:D

Thanks for the link, Gordon - I hadn't seen that one

I really think that PlayBig had a good thing going, what with their liscenced names and detailed vehicles, although the plastics were cheap and broke easy (my fire Unimog is quite broken) and as you say Gordon, the figures were ghastly.

But just look at these poor souls :'(

Thanks for the pic, Damon.  I'd not realised that they had different facial expressions, unlike Playmobil.

Here are four more - I only know of these 6 face designs, but still, they are pretty horrible and lack any love or soul like Klickies have :(

After getting his new car, Avie thought that Lizzie would have the smart car, but it seems she is more taken by the truck :hmm:
