Playmobil as a company want to make toys that sell and long gone are some standards and ethics set by the creator of it all Hans Beck.
Hans Beck had very little say in how the company was run, he was a toy designer not an executive. Times change and so do marketing tactics. What worked then does not now.
Today there are rockets, lasers, auto look like guns, angry faces and some very weird sets if you ask me .
If we asked you all we would have is medieval and Nuremberg Guards, not very fun to a broad audience
BUT not all companies are like playmobil some companies didint trade their product values and principles for profit but worked for maximising profit withing those values/principles instead..
Really, who ?
anyways as for the Romans the arena was a very poor choice given its bloody history and the so many people who died in them. i think it was a very very poor choice by playmobil if you ask me and not surprised it obviously didn't sell
As if the medieval theme does not have a bloody past
i would rather see playmobil shutting down that turning into a toy line that will have nothing to share with how it started.. anyways.....this whole notion links to the new website too
Really, Porsche is not doing the same as Professor Ferdinand started but I bet you would not want to see it shut down, its a business to make money not a church/culture
