Product Information

With this fun Playmobil school bus, children can enjoy hours of creative play. This special school bus combines wonderfully with all playsets – after all, the bus drives through the entire Playmobil town! We gave some Playmobil figures some waggy-tailed guide dogs and whizzy wheelchairs and started a change.org petition asking Playmobil to produce the figures for real. Over fifty thousand people signed and the lovely folk at Playmobil said yes! With creative consultation from Rebecca, Playmobil began developing products inspired by #ToyLikeMe. Whoopeee! Playmobil is a line of children’s toys that are manufactured by Brandstatter Group. The company is headquartered in Zirndorf, Germany. They are well known for making human figure toys that are approximately 3 inches tall.

Giant Troll and Dwarf Fighters. Play with Shrek look-alike figures. The hulking troll is fun to look at with his large and spiky club.They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. In January 2016 Lego unveiled their first ever wheelchair-using mini-figure at Nuremberg Toy Fair. The UK press attributed #ToyLikeMe’s influence to this product and the story was carried by global press. We were very happy to see this product at long last. As someone who had grown up wearing hearing aids, I remembered firsthand how it felt to be a child who never saw themselves represented by the mainstream and what that can do to a child’s self esteem. To exclude in the toy box teaches ALl children it’s OK to exclude in real life. I wanted to change this for generations to come by getting global brands like Lego, Mattel and Playmobil to include positive representations of disability in their products.” More manuals of Playmobil Frequently Asked Questions about Playmobil set 6663 Rescue Child in wheelchair

Rebecca and Karen began making over toys to give them disabilities and took high res images in collaboration with photographer Beth Moseley and children’s author and illustrator Kate Read. We wanted to separate disability from tired hospital, baddie and geek associations and instead create a new more celebratory and fun aesthetic by giving fairies guide dogs and wizards wheelchairs. The results soon went viral and our story was shared on news outlets around the world including BBC, Mail, Guardian, Yahoo, Dystractify, Upworthy and Al Jeezera. Aside from human figures they also have a wide range of toy products including vehicle, animals, buildings, and accessories. This type of toy is produced in individual figures and themed series of sets. The company developed new products and they also sell older sets that are discontinued in production. Children’s Playground. The new preschool series is very fun to play with. It is a model of a realistic playground that you can find at a kindergarten school. Since we started, we have seen many more disability representative toys arrived on the shelves, including products from Playmobil, Lottie, Barbie, Sequin Art and more. We have evolved from our beginnings as a campaign group, to become an arts and play based not-for-profit organisation starting playful conversations about disability. We create art and design projects, we continue to influence the global toy industry to become more inclusive and we educate through our schools workshops and public exhibitions.Fee fi fo fum! Boy we’ve had some fun! What started out as a little bean of an idea has grown up, up and away into a more gigantic beast than we ever imagined. We have followers in over 45 countries and every week more and more people join our ‘toy box revolution’. We have even had support from comedy genius Stephen Merchant and Gruffelo author Julia Donaldson. Slowly, the school bus approaches the bus stop. The bus driver comes to a halt, opens the rear doors and folds out the wheelchair ramp. Then the students are allowed to get in. The driver assists the wheelchair user into the bus. Everyone wants to grab a window seat!
