Playmobil gets epic with Playmobil: The Movie tie-in sets

August 4, 2019 by Gary Collinson

The Playmobil universe comes to life this week as the iconic toy brand makes its big screen debut with the animated feature Playmobil: The Movie – and, as well as enjoying the film, fans can recreate iconic scenes or imagine brand new adventures featuring characters such as Marla (Anya Taylor-Joy) and secret agent Rex Dasher (Daniel Rafcliffe) with a brand new range of tie-in playsets!

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…

Charlie with Prison Wagon

Save Charlie from the clutches of a bunch of dangerous pirates. Charlie with Prison Wagon (RRP £24.99) features a prison wagon with a lockable door and ballista with shooting function. The set comes complete with two horses and four PLAYMOBIL figures; Charlie and three pirates.

Emperor Maximus in the Colosseum

On Marla’s incredible journey she meets the dastardly Emperor Maximus and his people in the Colosseum. Emperor Maximus in the Colosseum (RRP £34.99) includes Marla in knight’s armour, Charlie, Emperor Maximus and the Black Knight PLAYMOBIL figures.

Robotitron with Drone 

Marla teams up with many strange and heroic companions. One of them is the loyal robot, Robotitron. If the friends are in danger, Robotitron is immediately jumping into action with his practical drone. 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.

Through their vibrant adventure, Marla and Charlie realize that no matter how life plays out, you can achieve anything when you believe in yourself!

Playmobil: The Movie is set for release on August 9th 2019.
