Wiltopia Happy Meal deal should include at least a klicky
« 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. ???

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.

First time I’m hearing about this

In what McD’s ? Europe, US ?

It should be available in Germany, some European and Asian countries. Us in Hong Kong got only 8 in the series, and those in Europe can collect up to 14 of them.

Unfortunately I only noticed this campaign yesterday and managed to get hold of the Orangutan only. The back stated it is specifically made for Mc Donald, and not as movable as their Wiltopia counterparts though.

Geobra were looking to take over Schleich a little while ago - did that not happen?

My first klicky was the Indian from McDonalds. It's nice that after all these years they are making a new promo. I wish it was world wide though.

I think the press release said 70 countries, but I don't know if there is a way of finding out which countries it's running in

Keep in mind the animals are not real playmoanimals...

Made in China, Vietnam and the like.  Different positions though, and the colors are also off, so.. different.

Here in Portugal it started yesterday (well, the place near my work, some had them earlier last week).  I hope I survive this. My cholesterol is happy.

It does not appear to be coming to the US. The announced calendar of Happy Meal Toys is all movie tie ins here, no mention of Playmobil. It is out in various places already, and will be hitting international eBay sites quickly if not already there. Amclicks has a good thread about it.

That is probably why there is no Klicky then, if they're not being manufactured at the regular factories.
