German footballers as Playmobil figures: “Mario Götze is also very well shot”

BAt Playmobil, football can now also be played with real professionals. The Franconian plastic figure manufacturer wants to conquer the collectors market; a limited starter set with six Bundesliga players was sold out within a week. A World Cup collection with eleven national players and national coach Julian Nagelsmann is currently being released. In September, 198 figures will come onto the market: 18 Bundesliga teams with eleven players each. Munich’s Harry Kane, Dortmund’s Julian Brandt, Frankfurt’s Mario Götze, Cologne’s Saïd El Mala, Stuttgart’s Angelo Stiller and Hamburg’s Luka Vuskovic were selected for the Bundesliga starter set. Playmobil board member Bahri Kurter explains his nomination criteria.
