Hey guys anyone has or can try if the Playmobil Top Agents Yacht and SUV sets are suitable for joes?
I know they won't be straight out of box but I want to know what I need to change. Average joe measures 10 cm and an average playmobil around 7.5 com difference is not much I think in fact its just a matter of legs length body and, torso are not so different. Thank you and if you could supply pics would be awesome.

One thing to keep in mind is since Playmobils don't bend their knees their car seats tend to be pretty close to the floor of the vehicle. So unless there is a huge cavity towards the front you will have to cut a hole in the vehicle floor. It would of course vary from vehicle to vehicle.
Is 4878 Robo Gang Truck the SUV you are thinking of? If it is you might find this interesting, closest thing to a review I found: 4878 Robo Gang Truck combined with the 4320 RC module and 4879 Spy Camera |

Yap that the SUV
Thanks for the tip. I don't mind cutting as long as its doable. I don't mind even making a new floor as long as I can reuse the seats. Ok saw the pics seems that at least one of the seats is removable and as you said he will seat almost on the floor for me thats ok as long as he fits. For sure he will need room for feet so some cutting in the front may be required. My concern is the top are joe figures too tall to fit?

Usually, Joes and Star Wars figures fit into Playmobil vehicles, even the
5POA figures do. |

Thanks I'm thinking of buying both, the yacht is a go for sure I saw these this weekend at my local shopping center they are having a Playmobil exhibition, they had several dios there Top Agents included and I loved the boat. They are also selling there, should check to see if they are making any special prices.

I have worked on several Playmobil vehicles to fit 1:18 size figures, obviously the doors dont open on them, but i just cut holes for the Joes/MU figs legs to slot into while seated. Once this has been done they fit 3.75 figs pretty good. Unfortunately i have no pics. I have never worked on any boats though, mostly land vehicles, a plane and some helicopters.

Thank you good to know that at least I think the SUV is workable. My concern with the boat is that probably the consoles will be to down and I'm not sure they can be standing inside the deck but I will try.

I wanted to get the spy base, but my TRU never has it.

Its true, the problem you might have with the Battle Yacht is that the compartment area might not be deep enough for 3.75 figures to fit. You will definately have to cut the floor away.
Thats the problem i had with the plane i worked on. It was all good when the figs were seated but when standing they were too tall to stand. On another note, i was going to buy the secret agent HQ to use as a Batcave.
