Suggestions on Figures

[scoobydad]

Hi everyone!

My two daughters (2 and 3) have really gotten into Scooby-Doo lately.  They watch an episode nearly every day.  I kind of want to get them some sort of toy so they can play Scooby Doo for some creative play, but I am not sure what to actually get.  It looks like I am coming into this when there isn't much stuff on the toy shelves at the moment. I'd like to get them Scooby gang and the Mystery Machine.

I am hoping for some suggestions.

The Playmobil stuff looks cool, but it is a bit pricey and I'm not sold on if they would like the look of the figures that come with.

The stuff from SCOOB! looks pretty neat.  The Mystery Machine is still readily available online and very affordable, but the figures are nearly impossible to find now and are insanely high on the secondary market.

I have seen the figures from the 50th anniversary line and I came across some knock-offs on ebay which I wouldn't be opposed to getting.  But I can't seem to track down the Mystery Machine.  Would the 50th anniversary figures go well with the SCOOB! Mystery Machine?  Or is the scale just too far off for them to work?

Thanks for any insight!

Welcome to the forum ScoobyDad! I think the SCOOB! Mystery Machine would go well with the 50th anniversary figures, however, the doors on the SCOOB!Mystery Machine don't open from what I've heard, so if they wanted to put the figures in the Mystery Machine, they couldn't do that which would be a downside.

The thing about Playmobile is that it's made out of the toy equivalent of battleship armour in terms of durability in the hands of a small child. So while it may not look right to an adult, it would probabaly survive several exicted play sessions.

Thanks for the info everyone! I ended up going with the Playmobil stuff. The car came already and the Shaggy/Scooby set will be here later on this week. Can't wait to give it to them!
