I finally got my hands on the playmobil whale, and its huge! It can even swallow a playmobil person whole! Check out my Whale review I posted on MPb.

Check out my review of the Playmobil Sea Explorers. There are tons of pics too (almost 70). These sets are scheduled for April release, so keep your eyes peeled.
Note: I also write for MillionairePlayboy.com, where all of my previous playmobil articles are posted, so I’m going to keep them all together and link to that one there, instead of clogging up the intertubes with double posts.

Here is the video of highlights that Lando over at MillionairePlayboy.com put together of the action figures and collectibles we saw at Toy Fair.

I will have parts 3 & 4 of my parent-oriented Toy Fair coverage up shortly.

There is a comprehensive video in the works, but in the meantime, enjoy this write up and pics.

My favorite booth, and often my very first Toy Fair appointment is at the Playmobil booth. I am a huge playmobil collector, and getting to see all the new stuff in person is my biggest thrill, plus the life-sized display figures are nice… we all joke but it’s true, after Playmobil’s appointment, I could probably go home. I’m spent.

The folks at playmobil were pretty glad to see me. I can’t take all the credit for their rising sales this past year, however I’ve been spreading the good word that playmobil is made in Germany, not China, for years, and now it’s paying off in droves. This year there are more than 80 new products. It can be a bit overwhelming, but check out our favorite themes. Read the rest of this entry »

Toy Fair officially began today, so we’ve started putting up pictures. (I got some sweet video which I’ll be editing and posting shortly)
Today I did playmobil and the Egyptian stuff is fantastic! It’s bigger and more awesome than I had dreamed. Anyway, check out the gallery of Playmobil pics I took on MillionairePlayboy.com.

I recommend you go ahead and bookmark (or add their RSS feed) MillionairePlayboy.com’s Toy Fair Coverage listing which will be a little more up to the minute.
I also recommend bookmarking NonToxicReviews.com Toy Fair coverage (or add our RSS feed)
We’ll be covering all aspects of the show from action figures to new baby toys and play kitchens, so keep checking back.

Check out this video I made with the ole green screen. This one took the longest of anything I’ve ever done. Bonus: outtakes at the end and a playmobil cameo. Maybe I can put together a tutorial and some props that you can download.
