Aimed for kids aged 5 to 9, “Super 4” is full of comedy and suspense. Ruby the Pirate, Alex the Knight, Twinkle the Fairy and Agent Gene will travel throughout an adventure planet which contains a series of island nations, each of which contains a separated and contrasting world: sci-fi setting, a magical setting, a world of pirates, medieval knights setting and a lost world full of dinosaurs.

“Super 4” is being broadcasted around the world. In Italy through Cartoonito (Free-to-air) and Boomerang (Pay TV), in Spain on Neox Kidz and TV3 (Free-to-air) and on Canal Panda (Pay TV) and in Portugal through Canal Panda.
PLAYMOBIL is the Master Toy of “Super4” and is planning the launch of the figures and playsets based on the series in September 2015. Meanwhile, Planeta Junior and Nottingham Forest are already working on the development of the licensing program in the main categories to create new products that reflect the values of “Super4”.

PLAYMOBIL
