All fun but definitely not a joke; Playmobil

April Fools' Day is around the corner, and it's all about fun. This brand is all fun, but definitely not a joke. Being established in 1974 Playmobil has a solid reputation as a trustworthy toy company. Nearly all children in Europe have played with Playmobil figurines, buildings, vehicles and accessories while growing up. 

Playmobil is still being produced in the European Union, with three main factories in Germany, Malta and Spain. Furthermore, the European markets get the first releases of new sets, which will only appear outside of Europe a year later. All in all, this makes Playmobil a perfect example of a great European made product.
