Michael looks at a game changing toy from Playmobil - their Classic Star Trek U.S.S. Enterprise from the Original Series, released in 2021.
This toy is amazing! I need to find an excuse get one. I am 60 years old. The thought they put into the design is nuts. Thank you for the review!
Your excuse is you're 60 and don't need to give a fug what anything thinks. I'll now get off your lawn sir.
@@damionkeeling3103
That wasn't very nice now ,was it?
You don't need a excuse your a trekkie like many of us be a trekkie 😁🖖🖖🖖🖖💪
Just come accross this video. Im 60 too and i want one. Wouldnt be supprised if adults bought more for them selves than for kids.
Playmobil sets the standard for handling toy licenses. Its not perfect, but its a good balance of toy details, play features, and accessories.
My daughter bought me this for Christmas/birthday. She, my Mom and I really enjoyed putting it together, and It makes me smile every time I look at my dining room table.
I've even made custom Klingons & Gorns. I really hope we see a shuttlecraft, a Sickbay & Transporter room playsets, and aliens! I'd LOVE to see a Klingon Battlecrusier.
Sounds like an amazing memory!
Agree Baxter. If this sells well enough, I hope Playmobil would consider making a Klingon Battlecruiser.
Not yet, but they HAVE released a Klingon Bird-of-Prey! 🎉
Playmobil puts other toy companies to shame, with their incredible Classic Star Trek Enterprise.
And Michael knows exactly how to comprehensively review such an awesome toy!
The best toy channel on TH-cam and it’s not close
I saw this at our local toy store (we actually HAVE a toy store again in Dallas). It's marvelous. I would never have said this as a kid, but man, Playmobil is nailing it right now.
I remember thinking they were dorky figures, and maybe I still feel that way, to an extent. But they certainly created an amazing toy Enterprise... the core that switches power on and off, the sounds, the chairs being faithfully recreated and everything. Got to respect that level of commitment, and also that they stay true to their character style, working with what they like instead of trying to chase the currently hip, cool, popular thing and ending up a lame copy of some better-known thing.^^
" For God's sake , Jim ..........its just a damn toy !!!". It's just an expensive novelty toy. Nice, but only a toy.
Dallas TX? 'I'd like to know more as I'll be moving there soon.
I had many Playmobile sets that I loved playing with,while in grade school during the 70’s.Their toys were always some of my favorites.If this Enterprise had come out then,I’d have lost my mind!
The Playmobil Enterprise is out of my price range, but I have an Ecto 1, a Delorean, a Ghostbusters Headquarters, and several of the smaller licensed sets. They're just good, fun toys. They're made well, have tons of play value, and look great.
@@sunnyfrisch agreed. They have become more expensive, and are now at the limit of what I (personally) would call fair pricing, unlike LEGO, whose prices just became ridiculous.
True, you can find the Enterprise for 299,- at certain websites and in certain shops. Same as with most of their items. I always wait a few months and then buy their products, did so with BTTF, Ghostbusters, A-Team and will do so again with Knight Rider.
Same parent love the whole Ghostbusters sat, and all the and all the back to the future. Did pick up scooby doo too I believe. Pretty neat toy sets
Do you want to cry with the price? Look at the pirate ship
Mr. T in the Time Machine is a show I would definitely watch. Also, I definitely see the lack of secure seating as a feature. When you shook the Enterprise and all went flying around the bridge, it looked VERY accurate to the show. I love the look of this toy. I hope to get it some day.
"Yeah! Goin' back in time, fool!"
"What? What you mean this thing FLIES? Get me outta here!"
Whilst Star Trek isn’t my jam, I can certainly appreciate the beauty, engineering, and sheer spectacular presence this piece has, playmobil sets in my opinion give some of the best value for money, as well as best play value when it comes to toys that are on the market today.
Brilliant review Michael. And damn you!!! Now I’m on eBay looking at playmobil sets! 🙆🏻♂️😂
Ok NOW i understand the price tag. That is an amazing toy!!!!
RetroBlasting has done some excellent video's in the past, but this is now my new favourite (high praise indeed). I can completely relate to Michaels passion for the franchise and the product. I salute Playmobil for doing a toy that I've yearned for for decades . Fantastic product, I hope it sells well, and another brilliant video! Well done! 😀
I’ve always loved Playmobil (collected them since the 90s as an adult) and have always hoped they’d get the Star Wars license.
They probably could get the license if they really tried, but with all the competition in Star Wars toys, especially trying to compete against LEGO, it would probably be wise to stay in their corner, and tackle licenses others don’t have, or produce many products for.
Another astounding video featuring a truly amazing product. Where was THIS when I was a kid? Oh to be that age again right now. Thank you VERY much for this one!
Same!!! This is arguably the greatest Playmobil thing I think I have EVER seen! It's like every other feature had me literally like 😮😮😮😮. I literally was not prepared for the greatness of this review! And yeah, if this was around when we were kids, I would have bagged my parents to get it for me. (Given the price point, I would have probably ZERO chance of actually getting it! Hahahaha, but I would have given it my best shot!😄) I think to celebrate the greatness of this review and WORTHY homage to the Original Series, (and myself as being a proud DS9er!) I think I'm going to bring those proverbial worlds together and go rewatch....."Trials and Tribblelations"!
Oops! I meant "BEGGED" my parents to get it for me! The 'autocorrect' makes the other word seem vile in context! 😬
it's INSANE how great Playmobil's vehicle lines have been. I hadn't bought Playmobil since I was a kid, but these things have got me spending. The Enterprise is a bit out of my price range, but I respect the hustle.
I LOVED that you put “Bilbo” sung by Spock on the screen for the bridge to enjoy 😂
They are totally nailing it with not just these licenses but toy design in general, with so many companies it's like they've forgotten what toys are at the core. I completely agree about that false expectation "You want Playmobil to do what, are you crazy?". O_o???
I've enjoyed their figures picking up some from each of the waves sometimes, think they've evolved well. Do kind of wish for more "eye twinkle" like their movie characters but it's been a point of contention breaking from the original simple faces. Personally I'd like to see more flourishes like modern Lego in the face prints at least for the licensed sets, think that might help increase their general appeal.
Love how Playmobil made the Star Trek figures. They did a great job on this toy. Great review
I had no idea it was gonna be such an awesome toy! The thought that's gone into it is staggering! Great video review.
Anybody else love how the figures’ shaggy Battlestar Galactica hair reflects how the crew’s hair might’ve evolved had TOS lasted into the 1970’s? You can more easily imagine their adventures from toward the end of that five year mission now! Thanks for the review! What an awesome play set! I hope it does well!
I was on e bay looking for this before I got halfway through your review. A beautiful, sympathetic and classically realised homage to what a toy, model and tribute to the show should be!
I’m glad Playmobil is still around, this set looks great.
Bro that A-Team van is crazy good looking.
Aye!!
Hi Michael! -beautiful video! -as always; Mon Capitan! So many great ST references :) loved the ST-III intro visual, your verbal nods, classic cut-aways, comping the Playmobil Enterprise into drydock- LOL! - and you built it to the Jerry Goldsmith STTMP OST, -spectacular piece of music :)
Awesome!
Thanks Man x - love to Retrobalasting, Star Trek, and Playmobil -want one now ;)
I LOVE the Star Trek III reference at the beginning. NICE TOUCH!
How wonderful to have this company that has the guts to go where no-one has gone before!!! A truly great toy company that never disappoints!! The figures identify this range-- leave them alone. To seat them just stick magnets on their bums and a washer glued to the seats,(which are literally banned by the toy trade, how far do people want to go?). Great entertaining promo feature AGAIN, so keep these coming!!!
Playmobil pulled off what nobody else could be bothered. BRAVO!!!
I had couple of Star Trek action figures in the 70s, and they were big compared to later Star Wars ones by Kenner, and always wanted the Enterprise playset that came with the transporter room.
this is a thing of absolute beauty. great video Michael.
Thank you for the video - made up for an ugly day at work 😊. It’s awesome that you listened to Jerry Goldsmith’s soundtrack while assembling this - I used to listen to my Return of the Jedi cassette soundtrack while basement building SW models in the 80s lol.
This playset was recently on sale on my country, I don't have any other Playmobil toys, thanks to your review convinced me to make the purchase, I know I'll enjoy it as much as you.
An awesome set and great vid, thanks very much
Playmobile have also done a beautiful-looking James Bond Aston Martin DB5, with all the gadgets from Goldfinger & Thunderball.
I’m not a playmobil fan, I’m not big on action figures or licensed themes, but this thing is great. It feels like a time capsule in the best way, it’s like looking at a brand new toy from the 70’s or something. There’s something special about that I think
Sometimes it feels like Playmobil watches your videos 😂👍
The level of awe you describe I experienced with Playmobil Asterix sets. I never intended to collect Playmobil but I am pretty hooked now. Incoming Magnum P.I. Ferrari looks also like a perfect representation of the show.
thank you for putting the ballad of bilbo baggins on the enterprise viewing screen
Hey Michael, that was great. I agree with that you are saying as some friends had the 1970s original bridge set and figures and it would have been great to have an entire ship. I can just imagine 10-year old me playing with this. And then me now (age withheld but you can guess) having this proudly on display.
Man, that is one AMAZING toy that I'd love to send to my younger self, even like in the late 90's. 😎 Wasn't someone making youtube videos with this thing lately? Did I dream that? 😆
You can send it to your inner child, in the present.
Thanks a lot, Michael, for this video! I love Star Trek and I also love Playmobil, Lego and Mega Construx.
You are probably my most favourite 'negative TH-camr'. :-D
Just teasing and referring to one of your previous videos. :-D
thanks for this fantastic video, a beautiful Homage....awesome
Thanks for another great video. I love how they integrated lights and sounds in the toy!
5:23 wow that’s awesome!! Makes me wish I was a kid again
Those damn Playmobile toys are amazing. Just awesome.
I agree. There's nothing wrong with Playmobil's figures. They are as Playmobil as GI Joe figures are GI Joe. Props to them for making such generic figures look so individualistic. In this day of hyper-realistic figures, it's nice to have a toy that looks like a toy, and clearly is doing what it can to look like the real thing at the same time.
I never had much Playmobil as a kid, but man, I wish we'd had these things!
Kudos for being the first american I hear that so openly and thoroughly appreciates Playmobil. I guess many people in the USA can't come to terms with the figure design (born in 1974, four years before Lego's) because in your country there's no nostalgia for them.
This has been teased for months while Indy realized it's vision. This is a home run. Playmobil is the future of vintage reimaginings. The illustrious Michael French strikes gold again.
This looks amazing and is loaded with fun features! This must have been a blast to assemble. Playmobil has been able to recreate the iconic U.S.S. Enterprise and pack in many wonderful aspects of Star Trek I remember fondly. Thanks for this great review.
Im 52 years old and wow that’s awesome I absolutely luv it I so have to get this. The deck is pretty damn accurate and looks fantastic
Need a few red shirts for you know cannon fodder lol
Put this one in the time capsule. Bloody brilliant, mate.
Nice summary of this sweet ship by Ploymobil. Always had fun with this stuff as a kid. I may have to get one of these.
oh and well played with the Bilbo video.
I bought one of those! Did not put it together since I ended up in the hospital soon after it arrived. At 71, I’m now inspired to put it together!
We hope you're feeling better.
Totally agree with your many points, playmobile do incredible work whenever they get the chance. Great review!
Love the Star Trek III introduction! Smart!
Finally got this set. Was waiting for a decent price on it. Really, really happy with it, LOVE it!
With the upcoming Knight Rider Kitt, Playmobil is really on fire.
Great review.
I love your review. Thanks for giving me a look at this great new toy
This playset is NOT a snack!!!!
It is a FULL fucking MEAL that you enjoy and savor every bite!!!
Outstanding video and presentation!!!❤️❤️❤️👍🏾👍🏾💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was shown an article about this today and balked at the price. But, watching this video . . . now I think I need one. If just to prove to Playmobile and Paramount that Classic Trek is still loved.
It's cool, very cool! Well done, Playmobil! (Unfortunate that Lieutenant Riley was overlooked again!)
I thought I was done with collecting new toys all-together, but dear gawd this is an amazing play-set. This puts Hasbro and Mattel to shame. It is a so well designed and made from sturdy material. It just oozes pure quality. This is how you do it. A toy kids can actually safely play without fear of it breaking in 5 minutes, what a concept! And no stickers! Thank you! I need need to have this. Haven t felt like this about a new toy in so many years. Love it!
At that price, I thought I definitely don't need this, then I saw your video. The level of detail, including the light up and spinning nacelles, and that detail on the bridge is fantastic. The only gripe I have, which is ridiculous on my part, is that they altered the shape of the disk hull to accommodate the bridge space. If this looked externally, exactly like the screen version of the Enterprise, it would be impossible to say no to.
What a fantastic toy! Great review as always 👌
thank you, i had to order one after seeing it. about time . and it being the original series is even better.
I’m SO tempted to buy this. I’ve not owned Playmobile since The Calvary / Knights sets of the 70s, but this has me intrigued…
This is so awesome ! I hope my mommy buys this for me for my 33rd birthday ?!
I REALLY want one of these. If I could just afford one.😅 IMO Playmobil is just as cool as Lego and has great play factor for kids with its usual great build quality from my exp. Its unfortunate that its getting just as expensive as Lego.
I didn't have as much Playmobil stuff as a kid than anything else. Probably cause allot of it was generic stuff not tied to a property back then but man that stuff held up. When my mom and I gathered it up and cleaned it up to parcel out to my Brothers' kids it was all in fantastic shape minus some paint applications. Man I loved the Playmobil vehicles. The figures felt weird compared to GI joes back then but damn if you wanted a good ambulance. Patrol car or firetruck toy back then you couldn't go wrong with Playmobil.
I grew up in the 70's with my fair share of playmobil toys. They were designed, made and marketed to young children. I've seen the licenses that they have now and it's very clear that they are no longer designed, made and marketed to young children anymore. Back to the Future, The A-Team and Star Trek to name just a few. As an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego) colour me jealous!
Not even a huge fan of Star Trek (Star Wars collector, mostly) but DAMN if I don’t want to get this. Amazing.
I know they did some larger TMNT figures and I'd love if they did a Party Wagon with the 4 turtles. Would be so great!! My kids have had Playmobil for 20 yrs now and they still hold up and are in great shape. They really do make great stuff that lasts.
Playmobil makes incredible toys. I can’t wait to see what the Enterprise D will look like. PS They practically have a Game Of Thrones line already with their amazing dragon toys. They should probably try to get that license too. Great video!
Video makes me want some playmobil and star trek. Great review.
FANTASTIC !!!!!!! Loved it.
Great video Michael!! Looks like fun. I think we have to purchase too 👍Good on Playmobil for getting out there and giving the collectors what they want! Ghostbusters was another brilliant line! thanks mate 😀
I listen to music from Ray Harryhausen films as I make my stop motion puppets. So we're a little bit similar there 😁
I love that they fixed the turbo lift door! It’s finally matches the the exterior turbo lift directly at the back of the bridge!
Thanks for sharing this. It is an absolutely beautiful model - yes I even love the figures. The lights & sounds take it to the next dimension. Maybe one day I will own one. Have you seen the Playmobil James Bond Aston Martin too? Another great model.
I would love to build and have one of these... Now I'm imagining TNG enterprise version.
It would have to be LARGE. I would want a ten forward area with a guinan as a figure
Thank you, Michael. We also need to remember vintage Playmobil figures and vehicles are still very affordable.
I had no idea that people were unhappy with Playmobil figures. They're perfectly fine. Aside from that, this toy is amazing!
Awesome that you listened to the Motion picture score while putting it together. Did you see the new 4k version of Star trek the motion picture they just put out? You can stream it now and I can't wait to get the blu ray come fall. They didn't add much but we finally get a shot in the movie where you can see the ship in all its glory when the cloud around it disapates towards the end of the movie. Bang on with the Eaglemoss toy.👍 I love the way the Motion picture was shot but to finally get that reveal view of the ship towards the end of the movie was great with some decent CG.
Great review; Great looking toy!
I never knew this was out. Its on my wish list now;)
that thingis truly awesome, you'll never see Hasbro do something like this ever.
Up there with the Millennium Falcon as one of the best playsets ever.
Playmobil has always been pretty great and the new licenses they have are pretty awesome. That smartphone slot for encounters has endless play value too.
I never was into Playmobil like two years ago (more a Lego guy), but then I saw the Back To The Future collection, Ghostbusters collection and the The A-team van. Nowadays, I have the complete Back To The Future collection, the Ghostbusters collection of the first movie, the The A-Team van, the Knight Rider car and recently the 007 James Bond Aston Martin of Playmobil.
I love to display these toys :)
The Star Trek Playmobil toys are awesome too, but still a bit too expensive to me.
Playmobil is really doing a good job making these franchise toys look good.
Would be fun to see in the near future, Playmobil toys of: Airwolf, Blue Thunder, Magnum P.I., Miami Vice, The Fall Guy, The Dukes Of Hazzard (probably will be too difficult to do the Dodge Charger with the Confederate flag, boss Hogg's car an Roscoe's police car), more The A-team toys (like the Corvette, the military Plymouth (colonel Decker's car), etc.), Thunderbirds, etc.
lol 4:01 goofy but epic played well u made a 52 yr old fan of that film happy... i remember seeing an AD on the back of an old comic book back in the day letting me know the film was about to come out if i am not mistaken i think the comic was an old archie comic lol
Yep I need to go and find this right now
Great review. I love this PlaySet. It's a shame I don't have the room for it.
This toy is UNBELIEVABLE! WOW.
I don't love (or dislike) their figures, but I do love Playmobil for doing what they're doing, and I'd never let the figures stop me from buying a set that grabbed me. Good on them for taking risks without hesitation or cutting corners, and good on Retroblasting for celebrating them.
Playmobil uses high quality plastic. It always feels quality. My kids love these toys.
I wanted the Kreo one, but it was JJ Trek version. I would love to have the playmobile one.
Figure/vehicle compatibility has been a lost art. Glad that Playmobil knows how to do it.
"Ilia's theme" is the overture to the motion picture. In the director's cut it plays over an aft view of a starfield moving away from the camera. There's a questing, longing quality to the music that makes me think that, that is V'ger heading toward earth.
After the main title the tone changes when she encounters the Klingons. I tend to think their attack is what made her hostile and V'ger doesn't seem innocent again until the probe takes over Ilia and she's back to her longing to "join" with the creator and Ilia's theme represents both her and V'ger. Its incredible music, nonetheless.
Love your review of this, I hope Playmobil keeps up the good work. Also agree with you for those that are demanding Playmobil change how the toys are scaled or how the figures look, How about they demand Hasbro, Playmate, or other toy companies make better items. Instead of wagging your tails saying this is the bestest thing ever every time they release a sub par playset, vehicle, or figure. How do you do this, easy do not buy them, hit these place in the pocket book, and they will get it, that they need to do better.
Playmobil is taking the risks on old IPs, using thier money, not asking the fans too fund them. Unlike every HasLab go fund me project. They also try to make sure they have enough so you can buy them too, Unlike Hasbro who only makes a little, even after they get the money from fans.
Thank you for this most concise review, now I just have to find one. :o)
wait so this is actually a recent thing.. holy balls.. might get one in the future because that's just cool as balls
I think the ship itself could stand to be a bit bigger, the saucer looks out of proportion and it would have given the chance for a transporter room. Other than that. . .i want this so badly now, i am genuinely impressed and it looks awesome on so many other levels. But. . .a Lego nock off (which i can't remember) did an enterprise for the 2009 movie that also did this, so playmate isn't the first, but definitely has done the best so far! Thanks a lot, because now i really want this XD.
You've forgotten, or perhaps ignored, that there also exist shuttles (a LOT of them) in Star Trek and their toy models would definitely be scalable to figures, but I do get your point anyway and see where you were coming from.
