The Vegetable Garden
This week the Flickr Friday theme is "vegetables”, and to represent the theme, I have put together a vegetable garden full of delicious produce, proudly maintained by a happy farmer and his wife. Beds of lettuce, great round pumpkins, baskets of radishes, carrots, cucumbers and mushrooms fill this garden alongside sunflowers and wildflowers. In fact there is so much food, there might even be enough for a few rabbits to nibble away on some lettuce and not be noticed!
Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil is their vibrant colour and the array of items made.
Playmobil is a line of toys produced by the Brandstätter Group, headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. Production began in 1974. Playmobil began to be sold worldwide in 1975, and by 2009, approximately 2.2 billion Playmobil figures had been sold. The signature Playmobil toy is a 7.5 cm tall human figure with a particular smiling face. A wide range of accessories, buildings and vehicles, as well as many sorts of animals, are also part of the Playmobil line. Playmobil toys are produced in themed series of sets as well as individual special figures and playsets. New products and product lines developed by a 50-strong development team are introduced frequently, and older sets are discontinued. Promotional and one-off products are sometimes produced in very limited quantities. These practices have helped give rise to a sizeable community of collectors.
