Playmobil Is Going to Mars with Epic New Red Planet Sets!

When humans land on the Red Planet, they're going to need to take a lot of equipment with them. 

Playmobil has released six amazing new playsets to help young space fans imagine a mission to Mars, including a rocket to get there, a space station to live in, a couple of rovers to explore the planet's surface and even a robot that can look happy or angry. 

The new sets will be released May 1 and are recommended for children ages 6 and older. Check them out in the slideshow below!
