Playmobil's achievements

Playmobil has achieved a great deed. Although not every collection is available at Geobra to be acquired, because there is a characteristic dynamics of catalog of a normal toy industry concerned with the present consumer, even not neglecting previous achievements.

Since its beginning, there are lines of collections focused in the past and in the present. There was a Medieval collection and a Pirates' collection from the beginning. Together with a Western collection, in the mid way from the XVIII century and the present Modern Life collection. There has been two lines of "futurist" collection, which have both been discontinued.

With the '90s, there came a peculiar historic collection that brought the eyes of many to Playmobil, the 1900 ("Victorian Mansion") collection. And at last, during this first decade of this new century, with the collections of Vikings, Romans & Egyptians, it seems that it was achieved a great deed of covering most of the European History, and this allows us to, through the observation of the toy only, to have a glimpse of all its History and of the development of the civilizations of that continent thoughout all the time from very early days of mankind until very recent before the present day.

I intend to work this timeline, with this blog, and the idiosyncrasies peculiar to Playmobil and, as well, peculiar to the way a child understands the world, or the way adults would like to show them through this toy and whatever influences its concept.
