You know it's a good day when a Retroblasting Playmobil video drops

The "No guns" thing might have been a stipulation of the license, perhaps Universal has a contractual requirement that any license for "kids toys" cannot have guns? That said, someone needs to make some nickel plated Mini-14's... for science.

You can have the figures hold on to the sides of the seats, this secures them pretty well! Even one handed.

The A-Team with Amy Allen are the HUMAN version of TMNT with April O'Neil. Wonder Wish they did a crossover with them together.

I love the range of vehicles that Playmobil produce! Also digging the T-shirt.

I didn't know about the Playmobile Knight Rider one until your video dropped and I ran out and got one at Barnes and Noble, can't find them anywhere else, and I love my 80's TV shows especially Knight Rider, I even owned at least 4 80's Firebirds in my lifetime. love these videos Michael, I always tune in.

I’ve enjoyed all of your Playmobil videos. Can’t wait for BTTF.

As a huge TAT fan, it's nice to see some new product! This show, unlike nearly ALL 80's properties, just has no traction culturally any more. Most have been milked, rehashed, rebooted, etc. This one just can't in this climate. Guns, smoking, clearly defined good guys beating the bad guys, Face getting the girl at the end...nothing "dark"...just fun. None of that flies anymore in Hollywood culture.

I knew this was coming!!! As soon as I saw the Knight Rider review, I knew it was only a matter of time! 😆😆😆👍🏾👍🏾💯🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

These Playmobil toys have been the most rewarding toys that have come out over the last few years. I am anxiously awaiting for the General Lee, Airwolf, and especially a Herbie. I couldn’t wait, so I customized a Blue Beetle into a Herbie. I could not be happier with their VW line.

Although I'm not a huge fan of Playmobil, I do remember it from childhood fondly. I have to say that I have been blown away by the sets reviewed on this channel thus far! There is a real love and attention to detail in them. It makes me sad that big multi-billion dollar companies, who shall remain nameless (*Cough* Hasbro!) can no longer seem to get their SH*T together and turn out products we'd be proud to plunk down money on and collect!

I was hoping you'd do an episode on this. Not into much other than MOTU but...I've really enjoyed these Playmobil episodes. -Dustin

Another excellent review, Michael! Thanks!!!

I just recently picked up the back to the future Delorian set at a fantastic price. The others you mentioned are on my list to buy. Thank you for reviewing these. i grew up with Playmobile, but sadly it is often forgotten.

I think I'd love to see Playmobil do Battlestar Galactica.. I think that'd be fun.

Keith you definitely are the go to guy for playmobil

I hope they release Face's corvette and perhaps a helicopter for Murdoch.

If you'd have asked 10-year-old me if I wanted to collect Playmobil toys then it would've been a BIG no. After watching your Knight Rider review I started to warm to the idea and I am so happy to have jumped down the rabbit hole. I've now got most of the Back to the future sets (just waiting for the pickup truck) and advent calenders as well. Next up I'm trying to choose between the A-Team set and the Ghostbusters sets (who am I kidding,I'm eventually going to get both) . Hopefully, we'll see an Airwolf and possibly a Dukes of Hazzard set to complete the 80's nostalgia vibes.

A great review, as always. Thank you, RB!

Playmobil is killing it once again with those vehicles.

Outstanding Michael! Great show, was there to love the show and the figures. Playmobile are knocking it out of the park

I love these licenced figures from Playmobil but I'm putting my money into their Asterix the Gaul line. Series 2 is due out this summer and if the line continues I'll have the full village and a Roman army before too long!

Great review of a great set. I was glad to get this set last year and keep it on a shelf with Playmobil's Ecto-1, Ecot-1A and Firehouse. The van shell was also used on the Playmobil Scooby Doo Mystery Machine a couple of years earlier (Same style "GMC/Chevy" van body with a different roof panel, body color and no hub caps) and the seating and interior are the same as well. The rear does not have seat belts, as you said, but I did notice that rear seats do have "handles" that seated figures can hold on to. It's not ideal by any means, but it helps with figures sliding around a bit. Keep up the great work Michael

The handles on each sides of the seats are what secure them in place once you click the hands on them. The van was first released as the Mystery Machine, then a spy/crooks van with radar dish, an adventure van then finally in all it's glory as the A-Team van. James Bond didn't have a gun either. I don't know why.

Another awesome set! Now if they would just do classic Battlestar Galactica... A Playmobil Viper would be amazing.

Great video and what a great line to end it on! RIP John Ashley who did the original opening narration of The A-Team that you parodied partially. He died in 1997 of a heart attack! So sad! He was just 62!

The BTTF set got that extra set that included the "mr fusion" for the delorian, so i wonder if maybe there will be an add-on set with Amy and more guns/tools?

Loved the show back in the 80’s and I had some of the big figures and I had a die cast van! Great video!!! Love this stuff!

I have all the retro vehicle sets but I'm still anticipating the release of Magnum P.I. in August.......😉😎😉

Great review as always. I enjoy all your witty comments. Much respect for how honest and fair your reviews always are. Thanks!!!

Playmobil are doing great with their licensed products. Hope your Ghostbusters style video on the Back to the Future stuff comes out, soon!

The toys aren't my style, but I love that the show got the love it deserved with this set. I have the original Galoob figures from the original run and that'll do me just fine, but these sets just keep showing love of actual interactive PLAY that so many figure sets even for adults seem to lack. I mean between the props and the open nature of the van, this would have been a dream set as a kid.

Playmobil have certainly knocked it out of the park with these sets. I know it's a stretch but Colonel Decker in his Plymouth Fury would set it off altogether!

To exclude guns even more, the trailer for this set had the A in the logo formed by fire instead of bullets

My first thought seeing that gas tank in the back for welding was a sedative gas to knock out B.A. to get him in the plane or helicopter.😴🤣

That’s pretty sweet!

Nice. Another cool work by Play Mobil. And I can't help kinda feeling like we now have a Banacek and Clubber Lang finally in the Play Mobil universe. Heck toss in a sorta, almost Starbuck too while we're at it.

Nice sign off. Great video! 👍

Now that was a cool review Mike

I've recently bought the Enterprise to add to my growing Playmobil collection: Ecto-1, Delorean, A-Team van, Mystery Machine and KITT. All great toys. Airwolf next please. 😁

If you put a little more thought into it then you realize that a 5th seat in the van actually makes sense. For the majority of the show the A-Team was just the four guys. Also for the majority of the show they would deal with solitary clients so a 5th seat for a client is reasonable. Just grab a generic Playmobil figure and you've got a client. Selling the set with just four figures keeps the price down. At any point in the future Playmobil can put together an A-Team expansion pack with Amy Allen, Tawnia Baker, Frankie Santana, Gen. Hunt Stockwell, Col. Decker or whatever extra character they like to enhance the play-value. This way extras are left up to the consumer. Great video, Michael.

Playmobil once again hits the mark. A little off with the omissions, but still they hit it. I wonder who joined the Playmobil company who loved pop culture and the 80's so much that they consistently outshine other companies?

Great video and a pretty cool toy

Ive got the Ecto 1 and the BttF Delorean and they are genuinely TOP NOTCH. I don't fancy the Janes Bond stuff to be honest and the KITT just hasn't turned my head, but the A team van is definitely nect on my list once ive paid all those pesky utility bills!

Loved the video and odd about the guns, especially since if A-team toys do get guns, its almost never seen the primary ones they used in show the Ruger Mini-14F most toys just get standard other rifles. Happy Memorial Day mates and a great week.

I really wish I had your contacts, but then again, I would not have your video delivery for cool stuff. It's a love/hate relationship...and I love you. lol

I can’t wait to get my Playmobil A-Team set

My gf bought me this. Love it.

No guns but, 1:48 looks like 80s style sticks of dynamite to me. 🧨🧨🧨💥

Yeah man this is a great set, managed to get it at a great price too, but unlike you I never picked up on the four figures five seats situation, then again, you have previously picked up on my tendency to forget about Amy Allen (bad Luke!) lol , great video as always man 👌

Yeah, as people have said, this uses the same mould for the Scooby Doo Mystery Machine. But with alternate tyres, a different roof top piece, and the inclusion of the front guard. One thing to say about that set. You’d have to buy the Scooby and Shaggy box set, in order to have the full cast to go with it.

Man, if Playmobil made Star Wars figures, I wouldn't know what to do with myself!!

Enough Dirk Benedict to go around. 😆

Playmobil was pretty popular when I was a kid. The sets were rugged and nearly always went straight back into their box when you were finished, and if you were a kid who liked some specific thing on a racetrack or building site or whatever, Playmobil almost certainly made it. The '80s train sets were incredible.

I would love to see Playmobil make a Voltron set I think that would be interesting to see

Just need Airwolf now

I of course have this set as to the mystery mashine, Kitt, and all the back to the future sets and part from mentioning what you already did I have this wish and stil hope .....I always hoped they went the back to the future route and space out more sets within years.... Ea I'm so wanting for that white Corvette and I always hoped that stuf you mentioned came in that set like you got the Toyota and the future bits in the bttf gear ... Maybe trow in a helicopter 2 although I bet you cab confiscate any Playmobil one 😂😂😂 but that Godzilla suite I would like and some of the protagonist maybe.... A straight jacket etc etc.... Also secretly hoping for a time train as they did make trains when I was a kid.... Same is said about the knight Semmy and a replica inside of the trailer set .... maybe c,a,r mod parts and Michels Evil twin ... I'm happy they went 90 percent of the way with the bttf stuf but I really hope all those things I mentioned are in the make or on the to do list somewhere pleazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr-T had something to do with the no weapons. He’s very against violence these days.

They also made a van for Scooby Doo that looks like the A-team's van!

Playmobil and Lego are doing the best work in the Toy Business. Still waiting of the A-Team Lego set. But at least I can make my own until then.

Funky. Playmobile is that step between Duplo and Lego Minifigures. Still up in the air about it. It's about the same as Mega Blocks figures.

The Hannibal will also work as a Bea Arthur

I bought mine a month ago. Also got KITT and the Aston Martin DB5. I like your views you make good videos. I am from Malta and we got a Playmobil factory , there are only 3 Playmobil factories in Europe.

The A team often used the Ruger AC-556 in stainless steel. It’s basically a Ruger mini-14 with a folding stock. That is the firearm that they should have come with. It is synonymous with The A Team.

that's crazy that they did not include the rifles! How can you simulate any of their adventures without them?

There are little handles for them to hold to keep them secure in the back seats

Take that Has-ttel! 😄

You should consider the mega blocks (now mega construx) call of duty series they have a decent chunk of ww2 themed toys, I know building brick toys aren't really your thing but these things pretty freaking cool. I've endeavored to see if I can recreate the joe team and cobra.

I was going to mention that they were missing Amy,but Michael beat me to it.

That’s cool. Now I wish I still had little kids so I have an excuse to get one. Lol

Love it. Love the review and the RB content. My one nitpicking issue I have is that the A-Team didn't really use M-16s. I know I know.. I'm missing the point. The set is beautifully done and you made it your own with some sourced parts. Very nice 👍

The most prolific rifle used in the complete first season and much of the second season was the M16/SP-1. It wasn't until later seasons that the Mini-14 was used. The later decision about the Mini-14 was due to the fact that it was cheaper to purchase the Mini-14 rifles and reuse them than it was to rent the M16/SP-1 rifles. Michael's choice of the M16 Rifles is completely accurate.
