A little Christmas pressie for me… but Ruhuh… I didn’t get the Mystery Machine (not yet anyway 😉) However I did get the Playmobil Scooby-Doo set 70207 featuring Scooby, Shaggy, Ghost and accessories.
Cool 😎
Now for some cool Playmobil adverts from Brazil. The following three ads are reproduced here courtesy of longtime TVTA contributor and friend Zerocal and feature mid-90s Playmo figures from the manufacturer Estrela.
The ads are printed on mini comic books (in Brazil, called “Revista em Quadrinhos” or simply “Gibi”).
Original Zerocal post can be seen here
Thanks for looking 🙂

I love love love Scooby Doo! First lockdown we watched a whole season in a day … erm … but it was exciting to pass this love on to the offspring 😉 Do you have any Lego Sets?

Love Scooby-Doo too. So many memories watching it as a youngster. The Playmobil Scooby line is a treat to see, and I gotta have that Mystery Machine!
As for Lego – my youngest son has lots of Harry Potter and Star Wars sets. As a kid I had plenty of Lego and rank it highly among my fave toys past and present.
How about you and Lego?

Oh, we are right in the middle of a big Lego phase. (Not to pull the GDR card again; I didn’t see any of this as a kid.) It is great fun for all of us. I may be too stingy though to get the Mystery Mashine from Lego. Since they don’t make it anymore, prized are a bit meh … Fun fact, they are traiting for less on Amazon than on Ebay but you never gnome what fell of a truck or is a remake either way …

That Scooby and Shaggy toy duo are very cool indeed! Playmobil make some surprisingly awesome stuff to be honest, never gave them much mind until a couple of years back when they started doing DC Comics sets, and they’re just glorious! 🙂

Haven’t seen any regular size Playmobil DC figures, apart from customs. But I think there are some extra size ones, maybe 12 inch – poss by Funko. I know Funko teamed up with Playmobil to make 6 inch figures of Willy Wonka, Doctor Who and TMNT – bet they’re cool to own 🙂

I think you are correct my friend, I believe I mixed up the DC Imaginext line with Playmobil! 🙂 That said, the Imaginext DC stuff is very cool! 🙂

Didn’t know about DC Imaginext so I just checked them out – really cool, and yes a bit similar to Playmo. Plus they come with some nice plays ets. Apparently made by Fisher-Price. Old-school rules 🙂

Hi TVTA, I wish some of the toys I was interested in as a kid were advertised in comic book form, they look neat! There has always been something charming and attractive about Playmobil Toys – I still recall seeing their toys in nursery and primary schools. I kinda have my eye on maybe getting the Mystery Machine and a certain Playmobil DeLorean.

Hi FT. Yes, you’re right, Playmobil has a special charm. I saw the BTTF DeLorean and it’s v cool, same as the Ecto 1 Ghostbusters and figures! It’s a path I’m going to avoid for now regarding those, as cool as they are, but I’ll def pull the trigger on the Mystery Machine later in the year 🙂
