I just found these in an email I got from Playmobil in 2012 and thought that they do a great job in embedding their toys in these landscapes that want you (or the kid within you) to play with them. The German Police drive some AMG Tuned Mercedes! I like that Tribolite as a […]
When I moved to the US Richard Gottlieb was one of my first calls. He is the CEO of Global Toy Group, founder of Global Toy Experts and publisher of Global Toy News, making him an authority and go-to source in the toy world (and while hobbyDB plans to document every collectible ever made we […]
hobbyDB Superstar Karl Schnelle AKA Stroget introduced me a while ago to fellow collector John Kuvakas and since then we spoke a lot and, boy, did I enjoy every one of those calls! So when he did his second video on how to use hobbyDB I felt I just have to pay tribute to all […]
Since 1998 Hideaki is the director of the Nostalgic Toy Cars Museum. He is also a co-founder and Secretary of the Mini Auto Club of Japan (MACJ). He has always been more than willing to engage in dialog with other model car collectors around the globe. He already wrote a number of blog posts about […]

I am a junky for collectible stats and when our man in South America, Javier send me a Bloomberg article on the Chinese Designer Toy market (we refer to it as Vinyl Art Toys) I had to study it. It claimed the market to be valued at 38.4 billion yuan (that is $5.96 billion!!!). That […]
