Venkman and Terror Dogs (9223)

While at Toy Fair last weekend, I swung by and visited with our friends over at Playmobil, who are diving head first into the realm of licensed properties with not one, but TWO, collections in 2017. Here is a look at the  Ghostbusters Collection, coming out in May, and the How to Train Your Dragon Collection, coming in August.

First up… Ghostbusters!

Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (9220)
Ghostbusters Ecto-1 (9220)
Spengler and Ghost (9224)
Venkman and Terror Dogs (9223)
Slimer with Hot Dog Stand (9222)
Stay Puft Marshmallow Man (9221)

Additionally, here is a look at the packaging for the sets.

 

No on to How to Train Your Dragon!

Berk (9243)
Drago’s Ship (9244)

Drago & Thunderclaw (9248)
Eret with 4 Shot Fire Ballista (9249)

Gobber with Catapult (9245)

Astrid & Stormfly (9247)
Hiccup & Toothless (9246)

Overall, I love seeing Playmobil creating content for licensed products, as I enjoy their style and feel it works well especially with these two properties. I could easily see myself picking up the Ghostbusters collection for myself, and maybe even the HTTYD collection for my younger cousins. If this works out well for Playmobil, who knows what the future could hold.

What are your thoughts on these new lines from Playmobil? Will you be adding any of the sets to your toy collection? Let us know below.
