As a result, we’re starting to get sneak previews of what we’ll see in New York in February, including this new Lego Technic excavator that looks astoundingly massive. Image credit: Jim van Gulik and Jim van Gulik were on the ground in Nuremberg, snapping quick shots of all the sets Lego is revealing there, but the Bucket Wheel Excavator (#42055) is certainly the standout.The set includes just shy of 4,000 pieces, is fully motorized, and also comes with an equally massive dump truck for hauling those mountains of excavated Lego bricks away. There’s no official pricing info yet, but it’s probably a good idea to stash away a few hundred bucks if you’re thinking of picking this one up.

This is made evident with such previously unthinkable prospects as a movie based on Play-Doh and The Emoji Movie are currently slated for feature development and mobile phone game Angry Birds will release its first feature film this month.
Now, news comes of yet another popular plaything getting a movie adaptation; with Open Road Films picking up the rights to an animated feature based on Playmobil. Created in 1973 by German cabinetmaker and inventor Hans Beck for toy company Brandstätter, the Playmobil line largely consists of simplified plastic toys designed in the fashion of various historical time periods and aimed at children under 12. Though primarily popular throughout Europe, the brand has a strong following in the United States and Latin America as well; where an adult collector-culture centered on stop-motion filmmaking has emerged in the era of internet video-sharing. According to The Wrap, Playmobil (the animated movie) will serves as the directorial debut for Lino DiSalvo, the head of animation on Disney’s animated smash hit Frozen, as well as a supervising animator on Disney animated features such as Bolt and Tangled. Dimitri Rassam, Aton Soumache, and Alexis Vonarb – the team that produced the critically-acclaimed The Little Prince animated film – will also be producing Plamobil.
Like Lego, the Playmobil product line does not typically feature a storyline or characters for its figures, instead producing themed sets based on general aesthetics, which can be swapped out and interchanged with relative ease. Originally planned to be launched in the United States through a tie-in with McDonald’s Happy Meal promotion in 1982, it was scrapped over concerns about choking hazards and instead launched directly to stores under the Mattel banner. The line is notable for maintaining a strict adherence to child-friendly themes and almost entirely original designs, eschewing Lego’s recent fondness for movie and TV tie-ins aimed at older collectors. Proposals for sets featuring themes deemed too scary or violent are routinely rejected, though a thriving industry of bootleg versions produced largely in China and Latin America worldwide often focuses on precisely those concepts. The official sets are often produced in limited quantities compared to similar product lines, which has given added cache to the brand on the international collector market.
