Hello,

I realised that, like Singapore, Playmobil is a very niche market in Malaysia as well...
I have been collecting them for a few years now although my collection is nothing to be proud of, I realised that most of my Playmobil Friends are either Japanese, Taiwanese, mostly Europeans and some from as far as Brazil.

Most if not all my Friends are LEGO-ing but I personally find that Playmobil is much more aesthetically inclined and easier to collect because the line-up is very managable from a collector's point of view.

Also I recently did some customisation and found out that the plastic Playmobil use for its toys are very easy to work with and no glue (and very very few screws) is used for all its playset.
Most importantly, in the Playmobil World EVERYTHING is scaled accordingly across the whole line-up ever since the beginning.

Hoping to make some Friends across the straits and hopefully exchange some ideas if not toys.

Anyway, I will start by uploading some of the photography and customisation I have done using Playmobil.
I hope that you like them...

Also, may I ask if anyone know where I can find Playmobil in KL as I may be heading there early next month.
I use to go to KL quite a bit for work and play but do not remember seeing any...

Anyway, here is another from my customisation:

Do show more of your collections...
I used to buy some Playmobile when I was very small... but have not been collecting this for a long time, so, I am very out-dated already for the new Playmobile..
Hope to see some good collection from the forumers here...

Hi YK,

If you search me on FB: Playmo Hohoho its all there.

Product Placement...

Playmobil is very niche in Msia. I only seen them at Isetan and Metrojaya stores in KL & PJ area. Figure and boxset themed. But blind bags PL?YMobil figures even scarce. I only have some from series 1 and 2.

That means if I go to Isetan KLCC I may find some? Metrojaya...? Where can I find it? I usually stay around Pavilion area

I frequent Isetan at One Utama shopping complex and they have decent offering of Playmobil merchandise.

Within driving distance from One Utama is the Curve located at Mutiara Damansara. There is a Metrojaya store in the Curve that also offer Playmobil merchandise.

I have not been to KLCC for some time but they should have Playmobil section as well.

Cool! Thank you FunkyMonki! I will check it out when I'm there although I remember that One Utama is pretty far away from city centre but its definitely worth making the trip over.

Go check out KLCC first. If have time, try One Utama Isetan or The Curve, Mutiara Damansara Metrojaya.

Thank you my Friend! I definitely will check'em all out if I can. Hopefully, I am able to find some rare and old stuff.

That is some very creative customization and wonderful photography you have there.

As for Playmobil here i wouldn't raise your hopes too much as i doubt you will find the selection to be as good as what you can find there. Also price-wise, if Lego is anything to go by then you may find the items over here to be pricier.

Isetan and Metrojaya at the Curve would be the places to hit but if you are at Pavilion then Isetan at KLCC or probably Lot 10 maybe closer for you to pop by and look-see.

In Bangsar Shopping Centre there is a toy shop called York House that has a decent selection but that is even more off your path than the Curve. Actually now that i think of it i did notice a huge Playmobil display outside Mothercare in Bangsar Shopping Centre which may mean that they too might carry Playmobil stock as well.

I will probably be hitting KLCC in the next two days so i might give you a siterep on the Playmobil front if you want.

Oh yah! Its Isetan at LOT 10! Am definitely going there cause my Wife would wanna H&M for sure.
Wow! Thank fess66! I'll definitely visit Bangsar too. Love that place!

Checked out Mothercare at KLCC and they have a few Playmobils only. A couple of single figs and a slightly larger fig + vehicle sets.

The pricing is RM35 for a single and RM59.90 for the fig + vehicle set.

TRU confirmed they do not carry the set, which is why Parkson KLCC also doesn't seem to carry them as they supply them their toys, i believe.

Didn't have time to check out Isetan but i know they have at least 1 section next to the Legos.

That was quick! Thank you for the sitrep fess66. Really appreciate it!

Bro,

Have you managed to hit Kay El yet?

If you haven't here is the siterep for Bangsar Shopping Centre or BSC.

For a start you can scratch off Mothercare from the list as they don't have any Playmobil there anymore. Oddly enough Times the Bookstore (directly next-door to Mothercare) does stock them. Not many but they have a few.

York House over in the new wing is probably the mother lode for Playmobil. They have the blind packet Series 3 & 4 in stock, retailing for RM14.90 per packet. Not sure what series is the latest but they have some 3's and 4's there.

Playmobil Special and Playmobil Special Plus are going for RM17.90 each. Not sure what the difference is though, maybe you could enlighten us?

Also for further reference:
PM #5111 Dressage is RM86
PM #4870 Knight w. Cannon is RM43
PM #5186 Police Helicopter w. LED Spotlight is RM190

And when i asked the owner who the supplier was she just said the stock came from SG!

My own recollection of growing up with Playmobil in the early 70's was that they were fun to play with until the advent of Star Wars and the start of the growth of 3 3/4" figures.

Hope that helps

Wow! I am headed to Kay El on Thursday and Thank you so much for the extensive sitrep Brudder!

Playmobil Special is one of their series where it included one figure mostly with a few accessories according to the theme of that figure.
Special Plus is under the same collection but it includes even MORE accessories, hence the Plus.

It seems that the Playmobil in Malaysia is more expensive and if what she say is correct and that these Playmobil does in fact comes from Singapore, then I wouldn't be surprised that they costs more.

In fact, it is already quite expensive here in Singapore. That is also why I set up my own Facebook page (Playmo Hohoho) selling them at a more reasonable price whenever I can.

I was just in Manila recently and saw Play Mobil sets. Wow! Did it bring back my childhood memories... Just realized that I've not seen them in regular toy stores for over 20-30 years!

Thinking of getting a few sets for my son but he's still too young and I'm not sure he like most kids these days will be into them.

Bro, how did your trip down to KL go? While you were up in KL i was down in SG and enjoying the sales at Takashimaya! 30% off my Mega Blok Halo's! Woot! And they had a huge PlayMo selection, at least by MY standards!

REALLY?!? Gotta go visit my Customer in Manila soon... Hahaha!

LOL

If you do, go to Greenbelt Malls, there's a shop called Hobbes &... Ern.. Something.

Thats Cool! I'll try to setup an appointment with my Customers first... Hahaha! Playmobil hunting on Company time yo!
Anyway, I do sell some Playmobil on my FB page (Google 'Playmo Hohoho') so if you see anything you're interested. Do let me know Bro.

Hi Bro, sorry for the late reply.
I didn't manage to go to Bangsar in the end and the selection at KLCC Isetan was pretty limited. LOT 10 totally do not stock them at all...
Oh well... Haha...
Taka recently revamped that whole floor and that it is not really that big.
The next time you visit, go check out these other locations:

http://www.atzinternational.com.sg/default...enu=3&m1smenu=2

They belong to the same distributor.
I'm not sure if I've mentioned but I have an FB page for Playmobil as well.
Google: Playmo Hohoho
Thats me!
Let me know if your eye catches anything.
I'm sure we work something out since you're just up north of me.
