Elephant at the Waterhole Playmobil Review
The Wiltopia lineup from Playmobil might be one of their bests.

The are also two included water test slides which, when dipped into the water, produce an image on the slide. It’s also a minor water feature, but cool to see that implemented in this way.
The real prize here though is still the animals. All three are highly detailed, and while I
