Vintage Playmobil #3021
Royal Banquet
New in Sealed Original Box (G)
(retired)
Hundreds of years ago, royal courtiers, ladies-in-waiting, and assorted royals expected to bring a hearty appetite to the royal feasts. Devouring 7-9 course meals was commonplace. Fortunately, you can avoid the calories by examining this Vintage Playmobil #3021 Royal Banquet add-on accessory set for the Playmobil #3019 Fairy Tale Castle. Produced from 1999-05, this set has been retired for a number of years.
This set comes replete with a variety of VHTF pieces: assorted fruits, serving trays, fruit basket, large and small golden dishes, clear green goblets, and a regal set of gold and blue chairs paired with an oval, white and gold table. A beautiful blue, pink, and cream colored rug rests under the table. Casting "light" on the revelers are a standing gold candelabra and a blue table top candelabra. At this banquet, you will see fashionable ladies and gentlemen (e.g. a red-coated Servant with a long braided white wig and cravat, a Nobleman dressed in purple and pink and with a light blue tricorne hat with feather, a dashing red and gold clothed Courtier, a beautiful black haired Queen dressed in a yellow decorated dress, and a Noblewoman dressed in a red and gold dress and a thin gold crown). To add to the fun, many of the collars, hats, crowns, golden bracelets and cuff links may be removed if desired. This set is brand new and sealed in its original box.
As far as the original box is concerned, it is a wonderful specimen. Other than one smushed in corner, a few minor rubs on the corners, and a residual price tag, this box is pristine. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being perfect, I would assign an 8.5/10.0 rating on it. It is imminently displayable.
FYI, Playmobil toys are renowned for their high quality, durability, attention to detail, and the extendibility of their underlying toy system. All figures are scaled to fit in a child's hand with add-on accessories (e.g. hats, skirts, aprons, collars, scarves, armor, headdresses, shoes, sandals, jewelry etc.) lending authenticity to the different characters involved. The jointed figures are able to clasp items in their hands and move about through "child power." A wide assortment of vehicles, animals, furniture, and buildings are realistically scaled according to their "real-life" equivalents and to reflect actual life scenarios. Several of the animals have mouths that open and close and the elephants' trunks can pick up buckets by their handles etc.. All of Playmobil's play sets revolve around established "themes" familiar to young children (e.g. Medieval Castles and Knights, Pirates, Western Forts, Native Americans, Trains, Stage Coaches, Gold Mines, Circuses, Zoos, Victorian Mansions, Fairy Tale Castles, Sherwood Forest, Construction, Doctors and Dentists' Offices, Hospitals, Airports, Modern Homes etc.). Due to the level of detail, children's imaginations are afforded endless open-ended play opportunities. Not only do these toys broaden a child's imagination, creativity, attention, and use of elaborate oral narratives, they also facilitate a child's cooperative and dramatic play skills and fine motor capabilities. These toys have won numerous national and international toy awards and conform to the highest production standards of quality and safety in accordance with European and American safety guidelines. The toys, while primarily manufactured in Germany, also are produced in Malta and Spain. They are distributed in more than 70 countries throughout the world.
I can vouch for the high quality and play value these toys afford. My own children played with a variety of these sets up until age 13! Talk about getting "your bang for the buck." Several of them were employed in school diorama projects. What a lifesaver! I also used them with my preschool and school aged clients for speech-language therapy. They'd be great for families that are home-schooling their children.
Due to the small, intricate parts, Playmobil recommends that these toys be reserved for children 4 years of age and up. However, my daughter, who never mouthed her toys and was advanced for her age, received her first Playmobil toys at 2 1/2 years of age. Adult supervision is highly recommended for children under 3-4 years of age.
This set weighs approximately 8 oz. UNWRAPPED. My location is Lafayette, IN (47905).
