I had no intentions of doing a review for this set. I mean, what could I say about it? What you see is what you get, surely?
WRONG!
I had some nice surprises.....
It's not a cheap set - I guess one is paying extra for that flashlight/torch (which is small, but quite nice, with 'playmobil' printed on the side). The set costs €11 from the Playmobil website here, but I am impatient, so I paid €15 for it at the local toy shop.
I wanted all parts of it, especially the brown owl.
But look at the hair on the girl klicky!
And the boy is obviously wearing a Rock Band t-shirt - complete with the tour dates on the back!
The toadstool slots into any flower or leaf sized hole,
not requiring a special base, as the groups of three toadstools do.
The flashlight requires a screwdriver to add/remove the battery (not supplied), and needs pressure at the end to light it up - super for small children, who then cannot get at the battery, nor accidentally leave it switched on. It shines with a blueish light.
The set box and the website shows the flashlight pointed at that yellow-face-in-the-tree. What was
totally unexpected, was that the children's clothes
and their own flashlight also illuminate! I wish I could have made a good photo to show how this looks. I couldn't manage it, though, so these are just a hint at the wonderfulness of it:
The set is expensive for just a few items. But those items are
very nice - and playing with that flashlight is enormous fun!
