Patch and the Pirates

Are you a fan of Playmobil toys?  When I was a child, I really wanted to have some of those cute miniature playsets but they were quite expensive so we couldn't really afford to buy them.  One Christmas though, my parents gave my brother a small cowboy set and it became his favorite toy for many years.
 
Playmobil has changed some of their little figure design since then but the line of toys is still as great as before! I recently found this amazing pirate chest at a thrift store!


It was filled with Playmobil toys and they are perfectly in scale with Mini Lalaloopsy dolls!  I took my Patch doll out and set up a little adventure for him :D  There was a ton of little miniature props like animals, guns,  hats, etc. and I couldn't fit them all in this photoshoot.






My  boy completely fell in love with this.  The chest is now in his bedroom and he and his cousins spent hours making up scenarios with the boy Lalaloopsy dolls and Playmobil pirates.   It's their  first time playing with Playmobil and I think they have now become fans of this line of toys too :) 

Do you like Playmobil?

  2. What a darling set! Your son must be thrilled with the fantastic bargain you found! I recently found some vintage Playmobil peg figures when I was thrifting. They're all plastic, so I think they're from the 80s, but I remember when they were all wood. :-) xo Jennifer

    1. They were made in wood before? Oh boy it must have been expensive! It's the first time I found such a toy in a thrift store!

    1. It's a good toy and the storage space is useful. Everything goes back in there and they can just open it whenever it's ready for play again.

    1. They have so many different sets nowadays! Farms, Castles, Boats, Airplanes.... it's so tempting to buy them but they are still quite pricy.
