Heart, brain, lungs, intestines… what if the best way to learn anatomy was through a small plastic character for €2.99? This is Playmobil’s successful bet with one of the mystery characters from its new Figures Series 29 collection (ref. 72027), available since April 2026. This figurine with a body printed with visible organs, holding an anatomical board in its hand, is causing a sensation among toddlers as much as among their nostalgic parents – or even among future medical students!
An anatomical character hidden in a surprise bag
The principle of Figure mystery bags is well established at Playmobil: you buy without knowing which figurine is hidden inside, and that’s exactly the fun. Series 29 has 25 different characters, and among them, this unusual figure with a torso decorated with the main organs of the human body – heart, lungs, stomach, intestines, brain – reproduced with astonishing care for a toy intended for children aged 5 and over. The figurine also holds in its hands an illustrated board showing the same anatomical diagram, as if to invite comparison and discovery.
For children, the magic happens immediately: seeing “inside” a character is almost like having superpowers. For adults, it’s a Proust madeleine coupled with an unexpected educational tool, ideal for introducing young ones to the major functions of the body without the slightest effort.

new Playmobil which shows the organs of the human body
An educational toy that opens the door to the human body
The interest of this figurine goes well beyond the game. By showing in a simplified but faithful way the arrangement of the organs, it can become a first support for conversation between parents and children on the functioning of the body: why does the heart beat? What are the lungs for? What does the stomach do to eat? Questions that 5-8 year olds ask spontaneously, and to which this little Playmobil helps to answer in a concrete and fun way.
As such, it fits perfectly with the Playmobil Hospital collection, which allows children to replay healthcare professions and everyday medical situations. This range notably offers a complete fitted hospital (ref. 71615, available at €74.99 with a 25% discount at the moment), a maternity room (ref. 71616), a medical scanner with patient (ref. 71618), a pediatrician with child (ref. 71619) or even a physiotherapy workshop (ref. 71617). So many sets that allow us to showcase the hospital world and take the drama out of medicine in the eyes of the youngest.
An ultra affordable price
What makes this character even more remarkable is his accessibility. At €2.99 each, it falls into the category of clever little gifts – the one you slip into a birthday party, in a school bag, or that you give to a curious child who has just had appendicitis surgery and wants to understand what happened. The “surprise” aspect of the mystery bag adds an additional fun dimension: coming across this anatomical character among the 25 available in the series is a bit like winning the educational jackpot.
Figures Series 29 bags (ref. 72027) are available in specialist stores and on the official Playmobil website.
