Playmobil Australia - Playsets, Zoo Sets and Nature Figures for Children
Playmobil was created by designer Hans Beck and first produced in 1974 by German company Brandstatter Group (geobra). Playmobil is characterised by its distinctive figure design - small, rounded plastic people with moveable arms and heads and a consistent scale across all sets. The Playmobil range covers dozens of themed play worlds including city life, farm, police, zoo, emergency services, history, space and the Wiltopia nature range. Playmobil products are produced in Zirndorf, Germany, with plastic components manufactured in Germany. Peekaboo Baby is an authorised Australian retailer for Playmobil, stocking the Wiltopia range and other selected Playmobil sets. Free shipping applies to orders over $129.
The Playmobil range at Peekaboo Baby centres on the Wiltopia wildlife series, designed for children from approximately 4 years who are interested in nature and animals. Browse the full Playmobil range in the figurines and playsets category at Peekaboo Baby.
Playmobil Wiltopia range
The Wiltopia range is Playmobil's wildlife and nature-focused product line, featuring realistic animal figures and habitats based on natural environments. The Wiltopia Rainforest Nightlight Playset ($55) includes a nightlight feature. The Wiltopia Boat Trip to the Manatees ($80) is a water scene set featuring manatee figures and a boat. The Wiltopia Research Tower with Compass ($150) is a large-format playset with a research station and multiple animal figures. The Wiltopia range uses figures with a more realistic animal design than standard Playmobil sets, and focuses on conservation and nature education themes. Wiltopia products are made in part from bioplastics from sugar cane as part of Playmobil's sustainability commitments.
Other Playmobil sets
Beyond Wiltopia, the Playmobil range includes the Police Station Play Box ($37) and the Large City Zoo Set ($120) at Peekaboo Baby. The City Zoo set includes Playmobil zoo enclosures with animal figures and zookeeper characters. The Police Station Playbox is a compact, self-contained police station play set. All Playmobil sets use the consistent figure scale that allows characters and accessories from different Playmobil sets to be combined.
