Playmobil is a brand used for a line of popular 7.5 cm-tall toy figures (and its associated products) and is owned by the Brandstätter Group (geobra Brandstätter Stiftung & Co. KG) of Zirndorf, Germany.

Created by German inventor Hans Beck and debuting in 1974, Playmobil's "toy system" is widely considered to be in direct competition with products made by Danish toy giant, LEGO. As of 2021, more than 3.5 billion of Playmobil's stylized plastic figures have been produced. [1]
