And according to someone on THAT site quite limited even there, so... it is looking unlikely to me :(

From the official comments on the FB page, it seems like this was proposed by Starbucks Korea, so I guess it's down to Starbucks if it's rolled out.

From what I understand from their tax-dodging, Starbucks runs each territory as a separate company that 'leases' the right to use the branding.

The surprising thing is that I didn't think Playmobil was particularly known in South Korea?

Maybe it isn't and this is some bright spark's attempt to broaden its appeal, like the US Happy Meal promotions of the late 70s that hooked so many yanks. On the other hand not a lot of children drink expensive coffee.

PM announced the partnership(?) on Instagram a few days back.

I once saw a klicky in a K-drama.

Many years ago Playmobil identified the Middle East and Far Eat as potentially important markets.

I know that Playmobil aren't exactly known for having the most accurate media team, but in all the responses/comments on the FB page they say that Starbucks South Korea approached them rather than the other way around

I think I have a screenshot, but my computer fried itself and I just sent back the replacement, which turned out to be a lemon, so it's me and my phone for now.

Apples are out of my pay grade, and I'm holding a grudge because an apple took out my filling in December.  :apple: Evil fruit
