The Faerie Troupe
The faeries have decided to gather together and play for their animal companions in their magical garden. The Lilac Faerie plays the viola, the Green Faerie plays the mandolin, the Yellow Faerie plays the recorder, the Pearl Faerie plays the harp, the Orange Faerie plays the lute, the Blue Faerie plays the violin and the Pink Faerie plays the lute. What wonderful music they must be playing to attract so many wonderful woodland friends!
The theme for “Looking close… on Friday” is “music”, and I thought this tiny Playmobil faerie troupe would be an appropriate choice.
Two of the wonderful things that attract people, young and old alike, to Playmobil is their vibrant colour and the array of items that make up the Playmobil range.
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.
