The most fun of all the great new lines of toys coming out of this past weekend’s annual Toy Fair toy show came as a surprise. We were expecting several new Funko ReAction figure toy lines like we saw last year, but that didn’t happen. Instead Funko revealed a great new partnership–a team-up with classic children’s toy figure company Playmobil. Playmobil brings to the table the classic style of its figures and Funko brings the famous brand licenses they are now known for in their Pop! bobbleheads and ReAction lines.
Just check out these properties: Back to the Future… Sherlock… Doctor Who… Supernatural… Willy Wonka… Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles… Ghostbusters… Fallout… and The Walking Dead… all to be available in Playmobil figures! Not only is this a new line of figures, the figures will be released in a new six-inch format, retailing at $14.99.
Check out these images of actual figures revealed at Toy Fair, and spec sheets for other figures coming soon to a toy store near you:
That’s Fallout and Supernatural (above) and Sherlock and Back to the Future (below).
Funko’s first wave of Playmobil six-inch figures will include characters from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Ghostbusters, Back to the Future, and BBC’s Sherlock and Doctor Who, available in stores summer 2016.
