Makes sense actually

If you need to have cheap, robust models, Playmobil isn't a bad choice. The selection is good and you can get them in every toy shop.

Those scenes were for training purposes so you can build a new scene and hand the trainees the figures and make them set up a checkpoint or something.

Playmobil figures are big enough to be seen from the back rows.

Never mind Germans grow up with Playmobil so it's a pretty natural choice if there are no special models to be used instead. Many adults and all kids have some around.

Ceterum censeo we need that Playmobil icon.
