In case you missed our news yesterday, we’ve been selected as one of Playmobil’s Playologist families this year and will be keeping you up to date with reviews and news from Playmobil.
This month we’ve got started with a couple of great toys from the City Action range – both focused on water rescue.
Today I’ll be reviewing the Playmobil City Action Coast Guard Station with Lighthouse.
The City Action Coast Guard Station comes with a dingy boat, 5 Playmobil characters, a coastal station with look out control tower and a launching area for the boat – via the working doors in the coast guard station. It also has a working lighthouse (requires 2 x AAA batteries) which is a fun feature.
This is a large set, with plenty of detail and accessories. I love all of the detail in the control tower – it even has little telephone receivers that can be lifted up from the desks.
As with the City Action Rescue Boat, it was easier for an adult to complete the assembly of the set and once made the coast guard station is pretty sturdy and can be moved easily from room to room if required.
There is great variety in the Playmobil figures included in the set. Our favourite is the little surfer – how cute is he!
The boys also love all of the little accessories like the diving googles that some of the other characters can wear.
All of the extra details help to fuel their imagination and keep them really well engaged with the toy.
This set combines very well with the City Action rescue boat, and there are other items in the City Action range that would also compliment it really well so you can expand your collection and your play over time.

As well as the toy range, the site also has fun colouring pages, comics and more featuring the playmobil toys and characters so it’s a fun one to browse together with the kids.

I really do love Playmobil – we have a few City Action sets and they are so robust. This loovs great with so much attention to detail too.
It is a really lovely set!
Great review. Looks like a really fun set to play with.
I use to love Playmobil as a child , I really hope my little two like it when they are a little bigger so I can play with it again. These sets look fab and like lots of fun , I bet your children have hours of fun with them xx
