>>10925298since I've seen lego do it already I might as well tell. Get D&D or equivalent like das schwarze auge or some shit license and make a playset with a d&d campaign. You get set pieces, armor and weapons, basic classes and a prewritten story to play. There's your 100 dollaroos playmobil set. I don't see any other way for them to save themselves other than maybe completely redesign the figures themselves.
If that sells well do space marines and aliens next. Some kind of space rpg or some shit.
Worst part of warhammer was always that you had to paint the minis. While yeah it's fun you can't play out of the box. This applies to 90% of board games these days. Cut the middleman.
Playmobils whole shitck is being generic which fits perfectly into roleplaying in the first place. Make the figures and parts cooler too.
