Being musically-inclined, I have to say that I’m a sucker for toys that involve music. As I’ve noted in the past, my oldest daughter is already right there with me, always making “stages” and rocking out with her dolls and their accompanying instruments. Now, the folks at PLAYMOBIL are getting in on the action, launching a new line of PopStars! toys, which carry a “rock and roll theme.” They’re even trying to name their PopStars! bands, with a contest open right now. Since we don’t have any of these here at Rock Father HQ, I can’t comment on their quality, but I do have details on the full line to share below. There’s even a tour bus…
PopStars! Stage (5602): Play a sold out show featuring your own tunes with the PLAYMOBIL Pop Stars Stage. This MP3-compatible set allows young pop stars to belt out their favorite lyrics, drum up awesome beats, and wow crowds with radical guitar solos. Just hook up an MP3 player with the enclosed cable and choose your favorite chart topper. Set includes four figures, stage with flashing lights, drum set, two guitars with guitar stands, microphones, two preloaded tunes, built-in speakers, and other accessories. Recommended for ages four to ten. Suggested Retail Price: $39.99
PopStars! Tour Bus (5603): Cruise from one gig to the next with the PLAYMOBIL Pop Stars Tour Bus. Equipped with two removable roof sections, kids can access the bus interior and interact with the musicians. Load instruments into the back of the bus via the hatchback or store band gear in the bus’s side compartment. Then, climb aboard through the sliding side door and ride in style with the band. The bus with functioning wheels can accommodate up to twelve figures, including the driver. Set includes two figures with accessories and can be upgraded with the PLAYMOBIL RC Module Set Plus (#4856). Recommended for ages four to ten. Suggested Retail Price: $39.99
