Ahead of the movie’s release this Friday (August 9th), the lovely people at Playmobil sent a few of the sets over to FMHQ so we could follow in Marla’s footsteps by transporting ourselves into the world of Playmobil to do battle with pirates, knights, and Roman Emperors! Check them out here…

Robotitron with Drone (RRP £14.99) features working projectiles, spinning propellers and a winch with a hook underneath the drone to which Robotitron can be attached.
When her younger brother Charlie (Gabriel Bateman) unexpectedly disappears into the magical, animated universe of PLAYMOBIL, unprepared Marla (Anya Taylor-Joy) must go on a quest of a lifetime to bring him home.
As she sets off on a fantastic journey across stunning new worlds, Marla teams up with some unlikely and heroic new friends – the smooth-talking food truck driver Del (Jim Gaffigan), the dashing and charismatic secret agent Rex Dasher (Daniel Radcliffe), a wholehearted misfit robot, an extravagant fairy-godmother (Meghan Trainor) and many more.
