Playmobil 70177 Volkswagen Beetle, for Children Ages 5+

Product Information

So with that in mind, I thought I would put together a top 10 interesting retro designs. Note that, like Lego, sets are discontinued, So if you want something, don’t expect it to be here forever. I’m gutted I missed out on the modern house (which you can see in this design round-up), but there are other interesting houses still available for children.

Again, a lovely reproduction and in that lovely shade of blue. Looking more closely, you get the curved bumpers, the VW logo, the rear boot with a 4-cylinder boxer engine and, as you would expect, all the internal detailing too. There’s also the family and everything they need for a holiday. First off, the first and the original, which already sits in our house. An iconic design in an equally iconic shade of red. Great for play, great for just having on display. Fast forward a few decades and Playmobil has come along so much with some amazing sets available for children to play and enjoy. These are the perfect toys for creative children with good imaginations, who can immerse themselves in play and get lost in their own adventure. So what’s new? When it was unveiled at the International Motor Sports Show in New York in 1954, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL was considered the fastest sports car of its time, reaching top speeds of 228 mph. And it had the look to match.

I have two fairly young children, and both create little worlds with their characters and vehicles, acting out their own scenarios over and over. It’s probably the best value I have had with any toys, even when I have dug deep for some of the houses. Playmobil has announced two special edition Volkswagen additions to its range for 2021. The limited edition 70826 Volkswagen T1 Camping Bus and 70827 Volkswagen Beetle will come with a fresh new look and extra features.

Oh, this one is so pricey. But it’s also amazing in so many ways. if you love the original series Star Trek, you will want this.

In a way, you could just reread what I’ve written about the bus. Well, apart from the detailing. It’s a classic VW and, as such, likely to have appeal to young and old. Fancy creating a midcentury modern pad? You could buy one or you could try and create something in miniature, using this house as a basis. Want more? There’s a limited edition of this one, too. The Volkswagen Beetle – Special Edition follows on from the special edition of the van with a new colour (yellow), chrome detailing, a new driver and new accessories. The two special edition Volkswagen vehicles will include an individual serial number from a limited production run.
