Vintage Playmobil #5316 Victorian Dining Room 99.9% Comp. w/Box/NR MINT (A) (retired)
Here for your perusal is a stunning Playmobil #5316 Victorian Dining Room play set. Designed to accompany Playmobil's CLASSIC #5300 Large Victorian Mansion, this set was produced during the years 1999-2004 and is in NEAR MINT condition.
The set features a maid preparing for the family's afternoon tea in the Mansion's Dining Room. The regal dining room table, accompanied by four high back blue chairs, is surrounded by a stately bookcase replete with assorted books, a hutch to store the dishes, a classic tufted couch, a tall Grandfather clock, and a plotted plant. A savvy red and yellow parrot surveys the Dining Room from his golden perch. All of the accessories and figures reflect the Victorian era of the late 1890's and early 1900's. Since I took these pictures, I replaced the missing flowers. I also substituted a set of white books in lieu of a set of blue books that originally came with this offering. I would consider this set to be 99.9% complete.
FYI, Playmobil toys have been renowned world-wide for 40 years for their high quality, durability, attention to detail, and the extendibility of their underlying toy system. All figures are scaled to fit in a child's hand with add-on accessories (e.g. hats, skirts, aprons, collars, scarves, armor, headresses, shoes, sandals, stethoscope, jewelry etc.) lending authenticity to the different characters involved. The jointed figures are able to clasp items in their hands and move about through "child power." A wide assortment of "add-on" sets featuring vehicles, animals, furniture, and buildings are realistically scaled according to their "real-life" equivalents and reflect actual life scenarios.
All of Playmobil's play sets revolve around established "themes" familiar to young children. Sets may be used interchangeably. Due to the level of detail, children's imaginations are afforded endless open-ended play opportunities. Not only do these toys broaden a child's imagination, creativity, attention, and use of elaborate oral narratives, they also facilitate a child's cooperative and dramatic play skills and fine motor capabilities. These toys conform to the highest production standards of quality and safety in accordance with European and American safety guidelines. The toys, while primarily manufactured in Germany, also are produced in Malta and Spain. They are distributed in more than 70 countries throughout the world.
It should be noted that Playmobil created this set for children ages 3 years and up; however, my daughter, who never mouthed her toys and was advanced for her age, received the Playmobil #5300 Victorian Mansion at 2 1/2 years of age. She played with this set up and many of the accessory play sets until she was 13 years of age. Talk about "getting a bang out of your buck." Now, at 26 years of age, she has given me explicit instructions not to sell her sets---she wants to save them for her future children. In general, though, adult supervision is highly recommended for children under 3-4 years of age. Last but not least, these toys are great for school diorama projects or for families that are home-schooling their children.
The original box housing this set exhibits its original price tag, a torn flap, and some minor edge wear. On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being perfect, I would rate this box as being a 8.5/10.0. It is imminently displayable.
