I may have to set some cash aside for these bad boys (good thing they're more than a year away from making it stateside)

Hot damn those are some cool sets, and they fit in well enough with Joe themes that I'm willing to forgive the high price tag. That Mountain hideout will be mine!!

Been a long time since I played with anything Playmobile related how tall are they? How well do Joes use their stuff?

According to Wikipedia, the figures are 7.5cm tall. Not sure how much that is in inches.

1 inch is roughly 2.54cm. So, about 3 inches.

Playmobil FTW! :monocle:

Most of teh vehicles and accessories can be adapted for Joes with a bit of jiggery-pokery and imagination. I adapted the wheelchair for my 1:18 Prof. Xavier without too much trouble and it looks almost exactly like the Avatar wheelchair. Some of the accessories are a bit blocky, but there is some really nice stuff.

Secret Robot Lab for me, the Mt. Hideaway is really cool along with the Evil Yacht.

Roger that,
Lanard used to advertise their Corps guys as 95mm (9.5 cm), so playmobil should be jsut a smaller than a Corps/ARAH Joe figure

The Mt. Hideaway looks awesome. Batman just got his cave.

The winner for me is the robot lb. That is a must have for me.

There's no Joes in the pics, but at least you guys can see how Playmobil buildings work with 21C figures. For my taste, Playmobil buildings work really well.

I like how they copied Lego's "second face" feature on the characters.
Since these came out this year in Germany, we should expect them in 2011...

Scale wise, Playmobil stuff is a little small compared to Joe,but they do make great background stuff, like private jets and cars.
