New pop star theme coming our way?

[tahra]

Here's what the press release says...

"Adding a tech twist to its classic toy line, PLAYMOBIL introduced a new PopStars! theme featuring an MP3-compatible Stage. Kids looking to live out their musical dreams will love combining the set with any MP3 player to belt out their favorite chart toppers as the PLAYMOBIL band jams on stage."

"STAGE (PLAYMOBIL/Product #5602/Suggested Retail Price: $39.99/Avail: August 2013) Play a sold out show featuring your own tunes with the PLAYMOBIL PopStars! Stage. This MP3-compatible set allows young pop stars to belt out their favourite lyrics, drum up awesome beats, and wow crowds with radical guitar solos. Just hook up an MP3 player with the enclosed cable and choose your favourite chart topper. Set includes four figures, stage with flashing lights, drum set, two guitars with guitar stands, microphones, two preloaded tunes, built-in speakers, and other accessories. Recommended for ages four to ten. Warning. Choking Hazard. Small parts. Not for children under 3 years."

Now I'm very curious as to where and when these sets will become available.

Thanks! Is there a link to the full version of that? I mean the same info for the other sets?

The stage is the same strange set from the hotel, right? I LOVE this tiny stage (and more that band!), but I do wish they'd stop putting electronic thingamagigs/light/sound/whatever on playmobil

Wonder what included tunes are..

Yes, I too think it is a remake of the hotel stage that I think also has the MP3 hook up.

I quite like it - except the size and the "blinkies".. It looks great! Shame it doens't seem to "expand" to the sides..

Still wondering if this is real.....

I don't think that there's any tunes included. You just have to provide your own through an MP3 player.

Thanks a lot for the news and the pictures. It's a very nice theme and I like it very much.
I hope we will see that in Greece too.

Interesting theme, the synthesizer is new isn't it?

If you go to: http://www.virtualpressoffice.com/ and search for Playmobil (about half way down the long list) you will get the link to a PDF of Playmobil's news release.

Yes it sure is

Probably they use the USA as a pilot market.. when it's a succes they can launch it in Europe. I think it's a good idea and maybe they can kids keep longer interested in Playmobil.

The black electric guitar is nice but...... WHERE IS THE BASS GUITAR? Every band has it (few exceptions as The White Stripes, the Ting Things and the Blood Red Shoes)... Larger, longer neck and 4-5 strings instead of 6
When you do it, do it good.... especially a brand with a good eye for detail..

Yes Geobra included a red, blue, white and the black electric guitar but no bass. The drummer also has to stand up, don't they usually have a stool?
