Within the limitations of the Playmobil toy world, the Playmobil toys are usually realistic, and present accurate representations of arms, armor, costumes, and tools from a recognizable time period. Especially notable for their fine attention to detail [ citation needed] are the modern construction and city life toys (automobiles, cranes, fire engines, trains, boats, etc.). Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team [ citation needed] are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors. [ citation needed] Collector activities extend beyond collecting and free-form play and include customization, miniature wargaming, and the creation of photo stories and stop motion films, or simply as decoration.

Many adults own or collect Playmobil and make movies with the toys. Wilson, Jason (23 December 2019). "Playmobil's Plan to Infiltrate Your Workplace". The Washington Post Magazine .
