Playmobil figures and playsets

Playmobil is an iconic line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. The brand was famously created during the 1973 oil crisis when Hans Beck, an employee of the company, developed a 7.5 cm tall figure that required less plastic to manufacture than larger toys. Since its official debut at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 1974, Playmobil has grown into one of the world's most recognizable toy brands.

While the company is German, a significant portion of its manufacturing takes place in Europe rather than Asia. The vast majority of its figures are produced in its massive factory in Malta, while larger sets and components are manufactured in Germany, Spain, and the Czech Republic. The brand remains under the ultimate ownership of the Horst Brandstätter Group, ensuring its continuity as a family-founded enterprise dedicated to high-quality European manufacturing standards.
