No, it isn't Playmobil :-[ but it is the correct scale at 1/18.

Made by Road legends, with working steering and suspension and opening doors, bonnet and boot adjustable seats etc

Here it is pictured next to the oversized Playmobil fire/rescue SUV:

Great vehicle, flatcat, and a good choice for your avatar.  At 1:18 it is strictly speaking overscale for Playmobil which is 1:22.5, but it looks OK and the Playmobil figures fit inside.

Thanks for the correction Gordon, I couldn't quite remember from our previous discussion :-[

Anyway, I think it would be nice if Playmobil added this much detail into their vehicles, as I have a playBig Unimog fire truck, which has great detail such as opening doors, engine detail, cabin detail etc.

Admit it Damo - your avatar's just trying to impress Lizzie!   :inlove:
(It's much cooler than the dirty white truck you used when you last took her out!)

Nice new ride flatcat. ;D
I've thought about getting a 1/18 vehicle for Playmobil.  This one looks great.  I know some vehhicles that size the klicky won't fit in the driver's seat. 
On a side note, I noticed you shoot alot of stuff in you backyard, are your neighbors ever like "Oh there goes that kook again with all his playmobil"  Just wondering.   ;D
