Much to the delight of fans, Playmobil brought back its dinosaurs line in 2013. Although most of the prehistoric creatures were recolours from 2007, there were some new ones as well. These included the familiar and ferocious Dimetrodon. The Dimetrodon measures a good 17 cm long and is 9 cm tall including the sail. Its …
Playmobil’s 1.2.3 line is the equivalent of Lego’s Duplo line: simpler, safer versions of their main products aimed at toddlers. When I saw that there was a dinosaur-themed set among the 2018 releases, I knew that I had to get it for my son. As I write this, he’s still far too little to understand …
As storm clouds gather overhead, a trio of human hunters work quickly to finish erecting their shelter.

Another all-new animal in the 2013 Playmobil Dinos line is the famous Stegosaurus.

Images of Playmobil’s 2023 Dino Rise line have appeared online, but disappointingly, all the prehistoric animals are repaints of previously released moulds, most of which have been in production since 2007.

Including its tusks, the Playmobil woolly mammoth measures about 20 …
