playmobil add on series pharaoh's treasure

It gives you a nice stretch of “sand” and some fauna, and a new feature that was introduced with this series, is the secret amulet-activated chambers. It’s fairly large, as Playmobil playsets go. I am this close to getting the dremel out and taking that goofball’s nose clean off.Įnough about the nose, lets talk about the rest of the piece. It’s to be the Sphinx back in the day of the Ancient Egyptians, so its prior to its mysterious nose job, but seriously.

For the first time ever, playmobil is addressing something that would fit perfectly within their design aesthetic… and they added a nose. So here we have the playmobil take on the Great Sphinx, and it has a nose. Playmobil figures are characteristically missing their noses. The Great Sphinx (in real life) is known for missing its nose. Wait a second, I have to point out a huge irony here. Wonderfully sculpted, it also has a secret chamber that hides a mummy. Not only is there some action and mystery put into these sets, but more so than the Roman theme, a lot of these sets are great for displaying the figures.

The attention to historically inspired detail is amazing and should delight the kids and collectors that know something of Egyptian history. Just like the Roman theme, in and of themselves, each set is fun to play with for the younger kids, but will really entice the history buffs. I have to say something about this entire line. My apologies to your wallet, and the hit it’s about to receive. If you were on the fence before, check out my pictures. The playmobil Egyptian theme is supposed to hit stores in August, so start saving up and keep an eye out, they should be out any day now. We’ll review the Pyramid and the rest in a future post. There are so many cool items in this theme, that I’m splitting them up.
