The cornerstone of all Playmobil activities is the two and three quarter inch figure which can bend, sit, stand, turn its head and move its arms. The hands, which can grasp, rotate and carry accessories, are what make realistic play possible. The figures also have a smiley face that suits just about any play situation. All Playmobil men, women, children and animals are compatible will all other Playmobil vehicles, accessories and environments. The bright colors and rounded edges are appealing to children. And, the unique construction features locking-grid building pieces that allow children to quickly and easily change their play worlds by creating new buildings. With numerous themes to choose from in a variety of age-appropriate settings, Playmobil is dedicated to enriching the lives of children by encouraging them to use their imaginations.
