Kids learn through play. And it's about time they learned how to crack safes, clean up hazardous materials and go to the toilet on a building site! And there's also an authority figure and a homeless man, because... er... yes?
Anyway, I think Playmobil's a great toy and it was super fun to get some of the weirder pieces together. But most importantly, this video goes to show that my building site office set is MOSTLY FULL OF THE WRONG PIECES. Gah.
Something I really wish I could have got my hands on: There was a promotional figure of Captain Birdseye! Or "Captain Iglo" as he's known in France, as it was a French exclusive.
