| 03.24.2016 – Playmobil has been around for more than forty years it’s the originally known as the competitor for the well known construction toy brand. It was first introduced in 1975 and manufactured by Brandstätter Group in Germany.
The toy brand continues to be relevant even without licensing a major franchise and continues to uphold their roots. Playmobil hasn’t been on mainstream retail since the mid-1990s and now they have been sighted at Toys R’ Us! |
In the most part of the 1980s, Playmobil has been known as one of those nostalgia toys of that particular era. They can be considered as a construction toy as most of the figures that came with it needs minor assembly, but not entirely a product that are made of bricks to put together a structure or vehicle.
Playmobil is popular for its figures just like the other toy brand that’s where they are known for. But what separates them from other brands they stand out, and if you haven’t seen the modern Playmobil they’ve been available in the Philippines for the last six years. The only thing that changed is the consumer perspective as previously they are exclusively available at Build City and Hobbes n’ Landes, which is hardly the place for a regular consumer to make the visit.
After so many months being out from their toy shelves Playmobil returns to the mainstream retail with a new distributor and its now an exclusive Toys R’ Us product that are now available at their branches.
