Playmobil is a range of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group based in Zirndorf, Germany.

New games and product lines are developed by a 50-strong development team. New lines are frequently introduced by Brandstätter. Some of these, are only produced in limited quantities. eg. Playmobil introduced limited edition sets with the logos of seven different airlines, sold only aboard flights and in duty-free shops. There is now a large community of collectors. Collectors often seek games and playmobil toys with customization & miniature wargaming. Playmobil people are approximately 3 inches tall. Playmobil toys are usually realistic, and present accurate representations of arms, armor, costumes, and tools from a recognizable time period. Especially notable for a fine attention to detail are the modern construction and city life toys (cars, cranes, fire-engines, trains, boats, etc.). Playmobil toys are specifically aimed at children from the ages of six to twelve. The company believes that older children tend not to play with these types of toys and so it has resisted creating toys from other, less well-known, historical time periods. However, many adults own or collect Playmobil.
