The Playmobil safe crackers is definitely a new twist on the traditional toy. These two little figurines come with graspable money, a canister with a hose to freeze the lock, a silver suitcase, keys, flashlight, a metal gold bar and a workable safe!
Children can now spend hours pretending to break into a safe to keep themselves entertained. As I find this set of toys very cute, I still hope that this is as far as Playmobil will delve into the world of crime. I don’t think I can handle anything more sinister.
