News / Re: Wiltopia Happy Meal deal should include at least a klicky

« Last post by ZooKeeper on Today at 01:23:22 »

Not too sure about this tbh.

Which kid would prefer a random poop-shoveling zookeeper-klicky when you can have a lion, elephant or wolf instead?

In order to change that, the whole Wiltopia-theme had to be much more character-driven with an appealing hero like "Beastmaster" from the 80s for example.

With the more family-/science-approach they chose, it's obviously an attack on Schleich and similar producers of animal-figures and therefore it seems logical to put the animals front and center for the McD-promotion.

What is this??? / What is this 2 storey shop building?

« Last post by breadmobil on May 03, 2024, 20:38:53 »

This building was posted by a fellow member and I have asked them as well if they can let me know what it's made from, but I thought I'd ask in here too as I'm very impatient(!) I am referring to the building on the left with the 2 staircases and 2 green canopies on the second floor and what looks to be 2 additional shops on the lower floor. I absolutely love it!

I believe it's a custom build but I wouldn't even know where to start in putting something like this together & I'm curious if anyone can identify the sets used!
Thanks in advance, also I am new here so hi

Hi Juve-bil!
Not sure if you will see this but I literally joined this forum because of this post ! I'm building a tiny city at the moment and absolutely love what you've done, it's so inspiring to me. Most of all I wanted to ask you about this building! I assume it's a custom build and I was wondering if you could tell me how you did it!
Thank you !!!

Hey everybody,

After a solid 6+ years, I've finally found the time to start working on custom Playmobil projects again. Looking forward to getting back into the swing of things with a new rescue-themed project which I'll keep you folks updated on. Hoping some of the old timers are still around on here!

Hope everyone's doing well,

News / Wiltopia Happy Meal deal should include at least a klicky

« Last post by Heronimus on May 03, 2024, 12:27:35 »

This truly is a great campaign to gain more exposure of Playmobil from the young generation.

But don't you guys agree the whole set should at least include a klicky, like a zoo keeper or a visiting kid figure, to open up the true Playmobil Door for the kids? Currently it does not really differentiate playmobil animals from other generic plastic toys.

Cost could be an issue given how the lion and wolf are not really movable, but they have really missed a great opportunity to give the kids a hook to the essence of Playmobil.

What is this??? / Part of steering wheel for ship?

« Last post by Danin on May 03, 2024, 11:55:34 »

Hello playmofriends! 

Does anyone have any idea what this part is? It looks like it could be part of the steering wheel for a ship, but I can't find any set that has this particular part.

Welcome! / Hello everyone!

Hello everyone in the playmofriends! I'm thrilled to join this community as a new Playmobil enthusiast. Since I was a child, I've been a big fan of these incredible toys, and now, as an adult, I've found a new passion for them: 3D printing.

Recently, I acquired a 3D printer and discovered that I can take my love for Playmobil to a whole new level. I'm diving into the world of designing my own creations inspired by classic Playmobil sets. It's amazing how modern technology allows us to materialize our ideas in such a tangible way.

One of my current projects is recreating some of my favorite Playmobil sets in digital format to then print them in 3D. From the iconic castle to futuristic space ships, I'm exploring all kinds of designs. I love the creative process behind each project: from conceiving the idea to modeling it in 3D design software and finally seeing it come to life physically before my eyes.

What fascinates me the most about 3D printing is the customization capability. I can modify the original designs to suit my own tastes and preferences. Do I want a flying horse instead of a land one? No problem! Do I prefer my castle to have a medieval or modern style? I can make it happen! This creative freedom is truly inspiring and motivates me to continue exploring new ideas.

Additionally, I'm excited to share my process and creations with this community. I hope to contribute fresh ideas and unique perspectives to the world of Playmobil. I'm also open to advice and suggestions from other members who have experience in 3D printing or designing models for toys.

In summary, I'm delighted to join this community as a new Playmobil enthusiast with a focus on 3D printing. I'm looking forward to engaging in exciting conversations, exchanging ideas, and of course, sharing my own creations. Thank you for welcoming me, and I'm excited for everything this journey has in store for me in the world of Playmobil and 3D printing!
