Why Are Playmobil Playsets So Damned Crazy?

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

This post will in no way attempt to answer that headline. Instead, we'll simply present you with your weekend kickoff: a series of the most bizarrely hilarious WTF Playmobil playsets, including the one pictured above (okay, that's not real) and the most famous toy of the last three years, the Playmobil TSA Playkit...

 

 

 

Check it out, the Emily Farris Crazy Cat Lady Playset™!

For that last one, the TSA Playset, you absolutely must check out the "rave" reviews of this product on Amazon. If they weren't from so many years ago, we'd do a post exclusively about them right now.

Thank to Kurt for the link.
