>>11687204Well nothing as it seems to be working just fine for them. I'm sure plenty of other people like em, but they've always been the biggest barrier for me to getting into their stuff, even back when I was still a kid.
>>11687260Well, for as similar as they are, the differences are pretty stark
Size - Being so tiny, Lego mini-figs are almost unique in their size range. Their smallness makes their simplicity far more charming. Playmobil on the other hand is similarly sized to pretty much every major small child's toyline at this point so their simplicity makes them less interesting by comparison.
Modularity - Lego figures are made of Lego parts, easily disassembled and mixed about and can be used for a variety of purposes. So again, their simplicity is a strength in that regard. Playmos are far more difficult to break down into parts, almost as if they really weren't meant to be disassembled.
Aesthetics - Lego figures match Lego pieces. they have the same stud heads and blocky builds and simple shapes of most Lego parts. This helps them look and feel like a cohesive set. Playmobil on the other hand has detailed, almost realistic buildings and vehicles and settings and backgrounds....and then the figures are ball headed simple faced stick figures. There's a disconnect between the sets themselves and the figures that populate them.
Dynamism - Even though they have similar articulation overall, Lego people feel FAR more dynamic. Simple things like independently articulated legs, the angled arms and even the subtle tilt in their wrists can give them life and let them feel like they're doing something actiony despite how limited their movement is. Playmos on the other hand are as stiff as you can get, without even the implication of any kind of actions.
>>11687325>Doesn't Super7 basically fill this role with their ReAction Joes?I think they're done with the ReAction ones and will be focusing on O-rings going forward.
