NovaBombardment's Latest Purchases.

The "Belle Tower" as I've been calling it is my favourite new Junior set for 2024. It's a music box that plays Beauty and the Beast music, but for the life of me I can't identify what song it's supposed to be. It might be a background track that I'm not familiar with, or it's just been too long since I saw the movie.

Either way, it sounds like a typical chiming music box, and doesn't just play an MP3. As the music box plays, the image in the middle spins around to show other characters. It also makes Belle spin around in the tower slowly. You can also remove the little window cover and have Belle peek out the window. It's okay though! She's already in the ball gown, so she's not sad and is enjoying her stay by this point.



The Belle figure is really lovely too, and I got some nice lighting for these photos. Belle always had the best dress of all the Disney Princesses. She went from a lovely lady to a gorgeous super star whenever she had the ball gown on.  I made sure to show off her little ponytail too, as it's not apparent in any of the official photos. I also showed her outside the dress as that was requested before.



Easily my favourite Junior set from 2024, and I highly recommend it! It's way better than the Cinderella castle, even though it's not as grand. Also while it doesn't actually include a Beast figure, Marlie made sure to make it into the outtakes to play the role.



I bought this Winnie the Pooh balance pot since I thought Marlie would like to chase it, but it was the first total dud where he doesn't care about it. That was a bit of a let down, but I still enjoy spinning it around myself. It can break dance really well if you put some spin on it!



I still have to post about the aqua sets at some point, but time has been an issue for me as I've been very busy. I'll get to it at some point, I swear! I hope to post more again soon! I took a bit of a break, but I'm back into it now.

It's been a while since I posted, but I'm getting back into it! I have basically all of the 1.2.3 and Junior that I want now, and I've been taking the Canada Post strike as an excuse to order more Playmobil. All of the places I order Playmobil from ship by courier, so I can safely order it and have it arrive. While I'm waiting for it to arrive though, I can show off some things I've bought during my downtime on the site.

Some Playmobil characters catch my eye for how appealing they are, so I've been buying some of the characters that catch my attention. One of the ones I wanted was a mystery figure boxer woman, as she's got a great design.



Next there were some cheerleaders on Playmobil Plus that I wanted for quite a while. The one on the left looks like a mash up of all three PS1 era Final Fantasy love interests. XD



This is the one I wanted the most though.



It's been a bit of a slow while for me and Playmobil, but I have a lot of stuff on the way now. I'll post about it when it all starts showing up.

I was against picking up licensed Playmobil sets initially, but the Cinderella Junior set made me warm up to them. Now that I have a few, I think they're really funny.





The Colour set was fun to colour with, and I made a nice little dress if I do say so myself. She's throwing her purse and wallet at the dress because she wants it so much!

The Star Trek and Scooby-Doo sets are the real fun ones though. Keeping with the tradition that the Scooby-Doo cast is so likable that they can crossover with anything, here's a little Scooby-Doo meets Star Trek for you.


"Like I have a gnarly stomach ache dude!"
"Danggit Norville, that stuff isn't fit for human consumption!"


"Like Captain, I don't think that's even a real ghost!"
"Get a hold of yourself T.K!"
"Oh......"


"Like thanks to Scooby-Doo we recovered the Stanley Cup and saved the NHL!"
"You're such a good boy Scooby-Doo!"
"Scooby-Doo didn't do anything! His cowardice almost got a man killed!"
"Shcoooby-Doooby-Doo!"


"I find the importance of this silver chalice most illogical"

I discovered Playmobil last November, so it's been a full year since I discovered the toy line!

I've only been shopping at physical retail during the Canada Post strike to make a statement, and thus I've had to settle for finding what I can for all things. Playmobil is not easy to find in physical stores in Canada, so it was a huge fluke that I found two sets that I wanted. My collection was also starting to get a bit messy, so I decided to pack all of last year's purchases in a box and start fresh for 2025.

These are the two sets I bought that are going to be the base for my new display.



Obviously the layout will change as more sets are added, but this is a nice little starting point.



Mom sets out to collect more firewood, as her dad tells her to be careful. The family dog is too scared to go along, so he stays in the tent. The young girl is roasting marshmallows with her Grandfather, while her dad tries to apply some mosquito repellent to her neck.

"Daddy! I don't want to wear it! You'll spray my marshmallows and ruin them!"

"Well you should hurry up and eat them before the mosquitos come and take a bite out of you!"

"Listen to your Dad. Put on the bug spray or I'll come back with spiders on the fire wood!"

Grandpa quietly eats his marshmallows and listens to the odd behavior of his daughter's family, and wonders if their every day lives are like this.

It's been a while! I decided to get back into 1.2.3/Junior as it's cat safe, and I overall enjoy it more than regular Playmobil. Here are some sets I picked up!



I wanted to pick up some of the fairy sets to go with the Cinderella Castle. The blonde fairy with fawn was surprisingly hard to track down at retail price.



These characters remind me of the fairies from the old Legend of Zelda cartoon. They're all super cute, and I love how each one has a different hair colour for variety.



Part of what interested me about these characters is that they have unique molds for the wings. The wings don't move, and they extend the toy farther back than most other 1.2.3 characters. This causes compatibility issues with many of the other toys, as they can't sit in the cramped vehicles and seats made for the basic mold. However I did find one toy they're compatible with.



The Winnie the Pooh pot is just shallow enough for them to stand in and not snag their wings. I have no idea if this was on purpose or not, but it's a happy coincidence at the very least.

There was one other fairy set, but I haven't been able to track it down at a normal price. These were the three I wanted the most though, so I'm happy to have them all.

I accidentally quoted my own post while trying to make an edit. Ignore this post. 

I guess to not make a waste of it though, I'll say that I'm still on the look out for some Europeon exclusive sets, and I may have finally found a place where I can get them. I've been trying to get the Tinti Aqua sets ever since they came out, and I've had no luck until today. I'll be able to place an order on Wednesday, so hopefully it works out.
