This is the beautiful artwork cover of the 1993 catalog, featuring Playmobil’s brand new medieval knights sets.
Playmobil released their first major Knights set in 1993 with large magnificent castles, battle towers, prison carriages, tournament tents and catapults.
These pages (above and below) are straight from the Playmobil USA catalogof 1993. The yellow triangles with an “N” means these sets had just been released in that year – N for new.
The themes in these sets seem to be representing three different factions:
The tower knights (green and yellow). The swan knights (blue). The royal crown knights (red).
These three factions are enemies of the Red Baron Knights, also addressed to as Purple Dragon Knights.
Playmobil is trying something new this year, releasing classic realistic cars, like the Volkswagen Beetle below. This isn’t just a beautiful car, it is a Playmobil car, with three characters and beach accessories.
You can use this set with any playmobil set, modern houses, Victorian mansions or even take it into an adventure in the jungle.
Above you have set 70177, the blue volkswagen beetle. This car definitedly deserves this spotlight as it is the coolest car released by playmobil so far.
Above is a photo of the side of the box, with all the accessories, including soda bottles, a beach umbrella and towel, even a little sand castle. Set 70177 Playmobil Volkswagen Beetle.
Playmobil just released a realistic model of the Volkswagen T1 Camping Bus, in the color red and filled with accessories, at least enough to get your playmobils on a road trip.
This is actually a fantastic idea from Playmobil, now entering a world of car collectors, and playmobil adults. In addition, kids can also play with theses realistic and beautiful models, as they are made for playmobils.
Above you can watch the video review of the Volkswagen bus set 70176 released in the beginning of the year 2021. This is a great van!
Above you can see the accessories from this set, the only complaint I hear from fans is the strange looking discolored plastic cover on top of the Bus. This set could have done better without it.
This epic looking playmobil western set was released in the year 2020. Has a ton of accessories and a total of four native american characters, one wolf and a native baby.
Strangely this set did not stay in the market for long, it is already out of stock and removed entirely from the Playmobil store. Hopefully they will produce some more and sell in the USA again. This set is a relaunch from set number 5247 from the year 2012.
Here is the Playmobil set 70538 Novelmore Defense Squad, exclusively released in Europe in the year 2020 and discontinued (it seems?) in 2021.
This set 70538 has a brand new Novelmore character: Taylinn. She seems to be some sort of Bow-Lady, with an awesome ballista that shoots a hook with a rope attached to it.
Then we have Norman, a Novelmore Captain that reappears in this set, with different accessories as well as a defense wooden wall.
Above you can see the back of the box, showcasing all the accessories from the Playmobil set 70538. The main items to note are the wooden barrier and ballista. This set has not been released in the US, and as of today remains exclusive to Europe. Your only option here is eBay.
Here is Playmobil Novelmore set 70539, Burnham Raiders Flaming Ruin, released exclusively in Europe in the year 2020 and discontinued in 2021. This is a large set with 139 pieces, introducing a half wizard flaming tower, just like back in 1995 when Playmobil released some of their first vintage Knight sets.
This awesome tower shows some aging from battles and time, comes with four characters: Francis, Shiko (New), Flinton and Lucifex.

This is a neat little set of Playmobil 9496 Santa Claus snow sled. It has a white sled with green drawings on it, one bag of presents and just two reindeers.
Honestly, I wish it had at least four reindeers, because two feels too little. In my video review, I went ahead and added three to show the difference of a second row of reindeers.

This is the basic nativity scene from Playmobil, for those who wish and enjoy celebrating Christmas. The nativity represents the stories of the Bible, where Jesus was born in a Bethlehem stable.

In 2018 playmobil released a new Egyptian set, this Treasure Case with two characters and a mummy. A little simple set, but still, it does come with a few Egyptian artifacts that are unique, like the Pharaoh bust and organ container.
Above you can see the box art of this set, including the white skeleton. The skeleton could have had some golden bracelets and necklaces in order to make him more noticeable and less basic.
Above you can see the accessories that comes with this set, as well as some artwork that showcases ideas of what you can do with the items.
Playmobil has been releasing a bunch of these toy playboxes, they are little carry cases that can open up into a little set. Besides the practicality of this box, it also comes filled with accessories and two characters to unite into other Egyptian sets.
Above you can see the box art, two new characters for your Egyptian collection and of course, a skeleton. The main character looks like an ancient Mummy that just came back to life, as he is still wrapped in bandages.
Above you can visualize all the accessories that comes with this set, two torches, four urns for organs, a snake, gold coins and vials.
This set 70012 is a Playmobil Take Along Western case that folds into a plastic briefcase to be carried along.
I am not a big fan of this set because I currently own the actual 90’s sheriff’s office and the saloon, and I compare them a lot. This one is lacking in size, that is all! Look inside (image below), there isn’t much space for play.
Above you can see all the accessories that comes with this set, a safe, money bills, canned food, a wanted poster, money bags, and five playmobil characters!
Hi, this is PlaymoBello and I am a Playmobil Collector, Web Designer, a Correctional Officer and professional Oil Painter! Playmobil is the best toy in the world, with the highest quality of details, realism, invention and design. They barely ever break. There is something captivating about a micro world of playmobil that no other toy has managed to capture.
Barbies are imundated with pink to a degree where everything is just too unreal. LEGO’s aren’t bad, but if you are like me, the blocky style is a huge let down, nothing looks good and surfaces aren’t smooth.
With Playmobil, you are taken to a world of realism and fun full of accessories and details, everything is visually impressive, it does something to your brain, visually exciting, which makes it for a fascinating toy to look and play with.
I love the feeling of excitement when opening a new set of Playmobil. From the nostalgic smell of new plastic and ink, to the building phase, experiencing the fun of seeing the final product on your hands.
It brings me back to my childhood days, where your mind had no limit to where and how you could pose all the Playmobil knights or pirates inside medieval castles, catapults, towers, carriages, ships and such.
Today I have over 300+ sets. What can someone do with all of that? Instead of having them stocked in plastic totes, in a dark basement, I thought: Why not share it with the World and Review them?
I am not judging anyone, but I personally can’t store my Playmobils away. I think if someone spends money on a Playmobil set, it needs to be opened, built, posed and displayed on a shelf where it can be looked at and enjoyed every single day!
Why store an unopened box inside a closet? Life is very short, enjoy it to the fullest now because you never know what the future will bring. Imagine if you die tomorrow, all your playmobils would get auctioned for a cheap price, or forgotten in a basement to rot. All those boxes you cared for, destroyed and never enjoyed to the degree it could have been! Do me a favor and open them all, enjoy it while you can!
Above you can watch an old video I made of my Playmobil Collection. All my Playmobils are displayed in my office/man cave.

Here is another 2017 Playmobil Add-on for the Western sets. Here you get three new western characters, one being a female with a rifle and a cowboy hat.
A little fire and a cactus for decoration and three TNT explosives! The crate can be used to store the TNT safely when the bandits aren’t using it. These are three unique outlaws for any Playmobil Western set.
This is a Playmobil Action toy, set number 6832, meant for fun and games. Here you get a hovercraft with a cool and strange looking creature, to shoot a fiery square target.
The game from this playmobil set 6832 is pretty simple, you fly around point and shoot, or position it somewhere on the ground and try to hit your target, if you get it, you earn the amount of points that shows on that target.
You can play this game in any way you wish, creating your own rules. Above you can see all the different hovercrafts available and the accessories and creature that comes with this playmobil set 6832.
This Egyptian Playmobil set 5389 was released in 2016 in the USA, complementing the Egyptian Pyramid. This set comes with one camel and a bowman.
This camel looks great with the two accessories that mounts to his sides, and reminds me of the Oliphants from Lord of the Rings, not by their size but the design of the camel saddle.
Above you can see the accessories that comes with this set, including the reign ropes and purple saddle. Both sides carries a arrow quiver but one of them doesn’t have arrows and is used to store the sword or bow.
This is the only Egyptian playmobil set that disappointed me, the ballista looks alright but lacking details, maybe the design is too simple or the box came with too little accessories.
Overall it is alright for its price, it retails under $10 dollars, considering you get 3 new Egyptian soldiers, that alone makes your money worth.
Above you can see all the accessories and the three characters that comes with this set. Note how it doesn’t have many weapons or accessories, but as I said, it is fun anyways! Fun fun!
