Here's the teaser
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8DNRyPXVEI&feature=youtu.be
First movie license?
-
OMG!
I have mixed feelings about this new licensed things. :-\
-
WHAT!?
I'd have mixed feelings about some licenses.. but...
:(
... cause I care nothing about that movie. I believe there is a new one, with only women. Who wants to bet that if they make klickys, they will be mostly (if not all) male?
That's not saying that the klickys don't potential. They may. As something else.
-
Ugh. Why?! :hmm:
I don't think Playmobil should fall down the licensing rabbit hole, but if they must, why Ghostbusters? It's so passé, and the new movie doesn't look great.
-
I think they took this particular license because it could easily be translated in Playmobil and they probably hope to bring in some fans of the franchise.
They already know how to make a fire stations and vehicles so they'll probably reuse some items they already have.
Maybe they're trying licensing since it's what saved Lego in the late 90's. If Ghostbusters turns out to be a success for them they might go for other themes.
In the end, it won't stop them from continuing their regular lines, so I don't think collectors have anything to fear from this change of direction.
-
Confirmed at PCC that it's a toy line for 2017. I have to wonder how it will go. I guess we will see. The ghosts will be useful for my Halloween theme. If they are going to go down the licensing route they should really go with the mainstream proven properties and that means Disney these days. Would I buy an official Playmobil Stars Wars line? Yes, yes I would

Yes, such an odd choice...
Would I buy an official Playmobil Stars Wars line? Yes, yes I would
I'm not really a SW fan.. but I always loved the Stormtroopers... And I am a big fan of The Clone Wars!
My wallet is MOST COMPLETELY against that.
-
The sets have a good chance of being geared toward adult collectors as kids today aren't really ghostbusters fans... My kids are, but I also show them stuff I want to watch instead of letting them pick... :) I think niche movies an tv like ghostbusters, back to the future, and possibly even he-man make sense for playmobil as it is more of a niche toy to begin with... Non current licenses are also a lot less expensive...so older films make sense all the way around.
-

If that became a reality, TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!!!!
With that said, I'm interested in seeing what they do with the Ghostbusters line... I'm interested in Ecto-1 and Slimmer and the Stay-Puff Marshmallow Man
I see this as a huge attempt to become more successful in the adult collectible market, and the US market.
-
Xxl stay puffed and good excuse for xxl statue of liberty for ghostbusters 2 :)
-
I knew this would happen. The Golden Age of Playmobil is definitively over. Où sont les Brandstätter d'antan?
-
I think it is fine, as long as they are keeping the niche market,or the core market, for the collectors.
I have to say since the super 6 thing, heading towards more licensed is not something we can avoid, as they want to diversify from the existing market. And it is still nice to see them reissuing great vintage stuffs through Direct Service to cater our needs
-
Did I miss the comment that Lego already has Ghost Busters?
-
Lego did limited edition licensed sets for ghostbusters as part of the ideas/cuusco line...they also have a few connected to the Lego dimensions game... But they don't hold exclusive licensure.
If anyone is interested, Most licensed toys aren't exclusive licensure anymore as the toy market has become very fractured. The licensee can make more money if they licence to ten companies instead of one, and the toy companies need licenses to keep sales steady so they don't complain too loud about the less expensive, non exclusive agreements
The playmobil line will probably be like the Super 4 line...a limited line technically separate from the regular run of playmobil.

I can understand maybe Back to the Future and other cult classics. Does Ghostbusters still have a large enough fan base to be worth it and how much overlap is there between the Playmobil fan base and the Ghostbuster one? IMDB is showing the popularity of both '80's Ghostbuster films as declining.
-
The new movie should be out shortly I think. But by the time they release anything it will be a bit late.
-
The last I heard the trailer for the new one was very unpopular.

Apparently they are bringing back the cartoon in 2018

press release on playmobil US (http://www.playmobil.us/GHOSTBUSTERS.html)
So, based on the original movie... is that it?
Apparently they are bringing back the cartoon in 2018
There was a cartoon?
I don't get the choice, unless it's cheap... Or maybe I don't realize the following it has. I hope that's it. It seems .... weak. Worse, as far as I remember, it is not prone to... amassing.
So, even if they have half a dozen characters (I don't remember how many they were - 4 ghostbusters? And a woman?) across that many sets (a la Super 4)... That's one set of each someone needs. If we were talking an Elvish/Orc/Stormtrooper/whatever army.. Well.
Wait and see, I suppose. Hope they do well. I guess. Though I still think it is a step further from what they are supposed to be... But maybe that is the past.
-
Hmmm, I'm definitely not thrilled about the licencing, or that the first licenced theme is this one... :-\
-
I'm a fan of the original Ghostbusters films, but the new one does not look very good.
As for Playmobil, I think it could be a good theme, albeit not one I would collect, and it does not stray too far from what they already have for their City Action theme.
Regarding licensing, on the one hand, if this increases Playmobil's profits and brings new people to the brand, that can help their regular lines. On the other hand, I don't want them to only start releasing licensed products.
-
as for me, I was never a fan of the original Ghostbusters films...i only liked the song :D
....but any new release gives me hope of getting new parts I can use ;)
-
as for me, I was never a fan of the original Ghostbusters films...i only liked the song :D
Ditto... I liked the video for the song, actually, with all the cameos..
And about that....... Why didn't they use "playmoroom", instead of "playroom"?
"playroom" has the wrong number of syllables.. imo, it doesn't work.
-
What I wouldn't give for a playmobil Bill Murray! 8-)
-
I'd buy Stripes klickies.
-
I had hoped they´d license "Master & Commander"... :P
-
Really not looking forward to licensing. Ghostbusters is such a "meh" choice for a first step into that field as well.

It is, isn't it? Maybe I am misjudging its popularity....
-
I think that now the Old Boys are gone the Gnomes of Zirndorf are in disarray and casting about for a direction. As we say in the US, they are throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks. Super 4, NHL, Ghostbusters, Asian Dragons - expect more of this sort of thing.
-
There was a cartoon?
Yes, it was actually a thousand times better than the movie!
-
What would be a good choice for licencing?

Good point about the NHL stuff.. there is a definite trend here.
...stuff...wall... I heard a different version of that phrase (graphically illustrated in the movie Airplane!)
-
What would be a good choice for licencing?
In my oft repeated opinion, they need to go cultural and local. Greek fishermen, Norwegian oil platforms, and yes Don Quixote please. Armenian history. King Arthur. Finnish epics. They could do an entire Shakespeare theme. This is where PM "fits". And licensing fees will be minimal.
In terms of media licenses? The Prisoner. Obscure kung fu movies. Bollywood. Deep Tolkien (i.e. Silmarillion). Kipling. Mighty Boosh. Blaxploitation. Endless possibilities.
the movie Airplane!

-

Never heard of it.. the concept of the movie doesn't really interest me, I suppose. Not into ghosts.
What would be a good choice for licencing?
Well, like someone said, Star Wars comes to mind, duh. I'd prefer LotR, though it is not so "current" (movie wise).
Classic Galactica. Now THAT'd be a license. My wallet would most likely die on the spot, I suppose.
Isn't that a warcraft thing now? I never played, but know the name.. and it has beautiful gorgeous beings.... VERY prone to make armies of... That is the worse about this Ghostbusters thing - it's limited to what? 4 klickys and a couple of ghosts? There was a car, maybe?

Warcraft movie, yes. I think this would be too violent as the target audience for playmobil is too young to watch such films.
I think any licencing would have to be for movies or tv that children can watch. Not sure on the Marvel movies but there are cartoons also that are not so violent.
I'd love to see some anime licencing in regards pop culture, otherwise traditional folk stuff is good too.
Does a theme have to be huge?
Ghostbusters could have several ghostbusters - no reason to stick with just four, a vehicle, lab, playsets with different ghosts, pots of bright green slime for the kids to play with.
I'm sure they make more money selling a couple of hundred thousand sets for kids than they do selling a handful of people hundreds or even thousands of army builder sets. Never seen the minimum number needed to make a mould viable so don't know.
Does Europe (not counting the UK) produce anything of note in the way of tv for kids? Or movies? I know Super-4 is European, but it seems that very little ends up in the English speaking world and Europe is a very populated place. Practically everything I watch is made in the USA or by Americans, the British don't seem to do as much these days either.
-

Uhm, there's that - I didn't watch it, and didn't play it. I just like the looks of it :P
Then again, SW is only kid-fit if you only consider the movies (well, most of them)... lightly. Clone Wars is (mostly) NOT for kids... and Rebels has its moments...

Yeah, maybe you are right. I just think it's such a ... "weak" thing. Again, maybe I just misjudge the popularity of it, but I don't remember it actually being anything "big"...
And green goo really isn't playmobil. That is done already (can't remember the brand). As they shouldn't try to be Polly Pocket or My Little Pony, they shouln't try to be goo. IMO. They risk losing themselves in the middle of all that.

Have no idea. Most of what I watch is also american. No cartoons now - ok, Rebels, when it restarts. They STILL don't want our money, or they'd put out a Super 4 dvd edition - FULL, not the robbery that was available before.. 4 or 5 eps per "volume" - are you kidding me!? And not even the complete series. I really don't get it.

How about these for licensing ideas? Asterix. Tin Tin. Sherlock Holmes. Doctor Who. Karl May. Corto Maltese. Judge Dredd.
There must be tons of slightly less famous characters from other countries that would be great licenses.

I suppose the first two would be "kid-like"... (though what with all the fuss about Tintin, I dunno..)
Don't know Karl May (Winnetou ? - from google - I think the west is done at the moment)
What's a Sherlock Holmes license?
I only know a couple of images of Doctor Who (he has a phonebooth) or Corto Maltese (he has a hat!) - not for kids, is it?
Dredd is not...
-
Sherlock Holmes is the foremost private detective of all time.
-
Sherlock Holmes is the foremost private detective of all time.
Yes, but as a license, is what? A klicky and his sidekick? That is what I meant...
-
Sherlock Holmes is now in public domain, so I don't think there's need for a license. The character is now free to use.

I think the last 10 are still under copyright.
-
Tin Tin could work as he always visits exotic and exciting locations, so the possibilities would be wide opened, plus many existing Playmobil sets could be use to create Tin Tin adventures.
The same could be said for Spirou and Yoko Tsuno. Fun characters whose adventures are not focused on violence which is probably key when you talk about Playmobil.
Doctor Who could probably bring in new customers and fans of the show. His time and space travels would open great possibilities and they'd probably push the interactivity between the various themes. Board the Tardis and visit this year's knight castle or our new dollhouse...
-

Yes, that's right. Everything written after 1923 is still copyrighted in the US, but everything is in public domain in the UK.
"(All of the Holmes stories are already in the public domain in Britain.)"
“Klinger and the public may use the pre-1923 story elements without seeking a license,” the judge wrote.

Of course, I don't know how this affects Playmobil in regards to producing klickies! :)
-
A Sherlock Holmes theme would include e.g. a Moriarty figure, a Hound of the Baskervilles set, a crime scene set, some bobbies (which would be wildly popular), and other scenes from the stories that I don't know because I haven't read them.
Literature of that period is rich with pickings. What about an HG Wells theme, and a Jules Verne theme? That would let them do steampunk in a very tasteful manner. And what about a Hugo Gernsback/EE "Doc" Smith/Flash Gordon theme? I mean like 1930s space operas. Bulbous rockets, rayguns, Martian Princesses. How about a Conan the Barbarian theme? An Edgar Allen Poe theme? How about a general classic horror theme - they're already experimenting with vampires.
The sky is the limit.
I think people are getting too caught up in concerns about violence. Weapons have been in PM from the very beginning - knights, Indians, pirates and cops have always been armed. The Asian Dragon theme was practically a bloodbath. And they did GLADIATORS. That's actually pretty weird when you think about it. (Imagine what toys they'll make of our time in two thousand years. CIA torture teams? Necklacing?)
Dredd is not...

And Mrs. Hudson! A Sherlock theme would basically be a mini, slightly darker, Victorian theme plus a big scary dog, police detectives (Lestrade and co.), and some science equipment. It could have a bridal couple, some aristocrats, Irene Adler with portrait, Sherlock in different disguises, a snake, a violin, a carriage, a handheld lantern, a pipe... Most of the famous stories are out of copyright, so the few lingering ones are not a huge concern.
Speaking of Doyle's work, his Lost World should be out of copyright as well. It's not as famous as Crichton's, but who doesn't love dinosaurs and Victorians?
I see no reason to go into licensing because there's already so much material in the public domain. Alice in Wonderland would be a pretty popular one. They have the queen already.
Since they are going into licensing, I would choose things like Peter Pan (it has a special copyright extension because Barrie willed it to a children's hospital) and le Petit Prince. Playmobil would do well to side with more "intellectual" themes.

I know they've tried to keep Asterix going, but is Asterix and Tin Tin still current? There is also the Smurfs, not that I'd want to see a playmo version of them due to scale reasons.
Never heard of Karl May or Corto Maltese.
I'd love a Dredd theme, though I can't see geobra doing it.
Dr Who could work, there is certainly heaps of material to work with.
-
Yes, that's right. Everything written after 1923 is still copyrighted in the US, but everything is in public domain in the UK.
I thought public domain was 70 years after the author's death which for Doyle would mean the year 2000 as he died in 1930.
-

They also have the March Hare thanks to the Easter rabbit theme they do.
Maybe they should just do an entire science theme to do something different in the modern era. Decontamination chamber, biolab, hazmat suits, isolation rooms for patients with serious diseases like ebola, crates of medicine, police and soldiers with various kinds of protection from face masks (like those blue or white paper masks) to full suits, full body scanners and so on.
-

I've seen multiple sources state that the last few stories are still under copyright. I know copyright law changed, so I'm guessing these stories were grandfathered in under an older law. But, like I said, it doesn't matter that much for Playmobil because all the well-known characters and stories are in the public domain.
-
Asterisx had its own range of non-playmo figures 30 odd years ago. They were ok but nothing special.
-
I think that Playmobil is taking the licensed set route because it seems that today's kids lack imagination.
For instance, even with an upcoming movie, kids won't play Tarzan using some of the wild animals available in the zoo theme and use one of the swimmer as Tarzan just because the box doesn't say Tarzan...

This is a good point. Our imaginations are being colonized.

They are hardly limited edition. Lego Re-released the ECTO-1 as well as came out with the ECTO-2 for the new movie and the huge $350 Firehouse is set with a regular production run. Having both LEGO and Playmobil with the same license at the same time is an oddity.

It's a 3778 bus, maybe coincidence that matches a current operator's livery? Or perhaps Network SE licensed their livery to Geobra back in 1993?
-
I am totally underwhelmed. PM doing a license is weird enough, but Ghostbusters? The new movie seems to be a total flop, not much to win from there. And the old one probably doesn't appeal very much to today's children. I may buy some stuff, some other collectors maybe as well. And then? If PM really wants to do a licence it should be something big, which will sell a lot, like Star Wars, LoTR, Game of Thrones or Star Trek maybe. But Ghostbusters? I really don't get it. You made such a great list of themes based on great literature in the public domain. So many possibilities, so license-free. And geobra gives us Ghostbusters... Well, still better than the Gremlins.... (Btw, the first Terminator movie was also released in 1984.)
-
I wouldn't mind a "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" tie-in. Imagine all the new animals!!!! (BUT if they do, they have to include stuff from the original Potter stories too... just saying.)
-
Unfashionably late as always, but still cool that Playmobil has finally seen the light re licensing. Problem is, the film was a flop, and if sales are bad, they might rethink the strategy. Should have gone with Star Wars or something like that. I imagine it would require lots of resources for the production of vehicles, and it would be more expensive than Lego. Lego star wars ships, like x-wings and tie fighters, are built from common, basic elements that can be produced and used in any number of sets, but with playmobil it would require new molds and so on. A man can dream. Imagine Uncle Lars, homestead, sandtroopers and dewbacks, Yoda's hut ...
-
Soon they will be teaching Star Wars in primary schools.
-
Current reports on the new film are saying there will probably be no sequel, but that an animated movie & TV series may happen. That may be good news for Playmobil if it does occur, but the new film certainly seems to not be a success for Sony.
"Sony won’t comment on whether it has banished a sequel to the netherworld, but perhaps tellingly, a rep says the studio actively is pursuing an animated Ghostbusters feature that could hit theaters in 2019 and an animated TV series, Ghostbusters: Ecto Force, which is eyeing an early 2018 bow."

Ghostbusters is a feminist vehicle full of man jokes and blatant sex changes for the principal cast. They even started with three white scientists and added a black person for muscle which is what happened in the original and that was the less enlightened 80s.
The director's publicity shots of himself included lying on the ground and being stepped on by the female cast.
No one had a problem with Charlie's Angels or any of the female action star roles that have appeared over the last few decades. Then this trainwreck arrives and suddenly the hate is because of sexism! 8} No, it is simply a bad movie which wastes the talents of what I understand are a couple of very good comedians.
It's a real shame that it will impact sales of this new line but at least they hedged their bets by having male ghostbusters (as well as female?) which will keep the original fanbase happy.
Perhaps they should do spin off Super 4 series but aimed at slightly older children. Alex goes off on his own adventures and the storylines could be based around Grimms Fairy Tales.
Gene and Doctor X face off against extra-terrestrials, deal with setting up a colony on another planet/moon. Ruby, Sharkbeard etc sail through a mist and end up in the Caribbean during the 18th century and they have to find their way back home while avoiding the various navies of the times and historic pirates.
Then they can tie in Super 4 with existing themes and also expand those themes.
-
Remember it's the original movie that they have licensed. Not the recent remake.
-
Yes sorry, I realise. It's a free for all with the GB these days. PM, Lego, Mezco, Diamond Select and a dozen other companies, all competing for the same market segment.

Does not bother me, I just want the car, and if playmobil wants to put a new toy on the shelf only for Walmart/Target/Sears/The Bay to slap a 20% off on it I am all the more for it :D
-
Do we think they'll make the Firestation from it? I feel like that would be useful for Victorian street scenes.
I'm not keen on the idea of movie tie-ins, and it seems a very strange choice, especially if it's the original line up in Klicky form
-

That would be awesome if they did, but I won't hold my breath for it either. But if they do, I hope it's long enough for the real fire trucks.

As the fim with the new line-up seems to have bombed, let's hope it is the original line-up.
-
The choice of Ghostbusters is classic PM tone-deafness. They have no instincts for licensing.

Playmobil is a childrens toy. Regardless of the performance of the 2016 film, the idea that a line of toys based on a 32 year old film being successful with children is strange.
-
Sony is also going to release a new Ghostbusters animated tv series in 2018 called Ecto Force - a year after Playmobil are planning to release their theme. :-\
-
Let's speculate what those 6 Ghostbusters set will be, shall we?
For sure: - Ecto-1 (probably with Stantz)
Other possible sets:
- Venkman and Dana, maybe with Dana's kitchen (or bedroom?)
- Office interior with Janine and Zeddemore
- Hotel room (or banqet) with Slimer and Spengler
- Gozer with 2 demons
- Library set with librarian ghost
- University lab
- Ghost containment unit with Mr. Peck
I'd love to see the firehouse but I guess it would be too big and too bold to produce it for such a series. Maybe we get some kind of display. Same goes for the Marshmallow man: if they want to be true to the story it needed to be huge (like the XXL figures). But maybe we get one in troll size.
What do you think?
-
I think an XXL marshmallow man would be both epic and an excellent use of that size figure. I would so buy that for use with my Playmo town dioramas.
-
I am struggling to think what they could do beyond the figures and the car. I'd guess some sort of lab set up is likely, partly because it'll be a relatively easy set to put together from existing parts.
I think the XXL Marshmallow Man would actually be a great piece, and at least it's something that (I don't think) Lego have done.
-
They released a halloween trailer promoting the new Ghostbusters line - it was all computer graphics, but they did show a Slimer, so I guess they'll be making that. Plus I''m more hopeful for the firehouse, since they showed one, though that might be too optimistic.
It's on their Facebook page, and I assume YouTube
-
There are also what seems to be leaked pics of the sets going around on facebook.
-
Really? I've not seen anything, clearly not moving in the right circles!
-
I opened a thread on the REPORT & REVIEW board :-\
