Now let's take a look at a Playmobil Knight. Grew up with some of these figures as a kid and they still strike a chord in me every time I walk past a shop that sells Playmobil. The prices of these things still astound me though; the bigger sets are really costly. Keeping in mind that these are toys targeted at children (unlike Hot Toys collectibles meant for adults), they seem to be priced rather high if one wants to have an entire pirate ship or castle or fort.

Hans Beck, "The Father of PLAYMOBIL®", had spend three years developing the product since 1971 before they were introduced at the International Nürnberg Toy Fair in 1974. A Dutch firm subsequently agreed to buy a whole year's production and Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975.

This suppose to form a set with a catapult right? I love the pet with them for each figure.
I always have a weak spot for playmobil knight version. just love the armor. I should review some new Playmobil I get too soon. LOL
hi leon, this was a single figure box set without the catapult.
i think secretly we all like playmobil in some form or other :) hope to see pictures of yours soon.
Very nice all angle photos of this figure you've got there! :D
I collect LEGO knights, but they are very small to photograph so clearly :P
Waiting to see your 1/6 scale 12-inch Medieval Knight in full armor! :)

My new camera is an Olympus, supposedly blessed by the Greek Gods! I think I need to work on my toy phototaking skill, LOL! :P
That should put you in good standing, then :) you know what the gods say,"Practice! Practice! Practice!" Ha Ha
I do love the Playmobil.
Many of the modern Playmobil toys have additional features such as flashing lights or sirens and help add an extra touch of realism to imaginative play.
yup and they cost a whole lot more too ;p
