Playmobil Figures (stylized as "Fi?ures") is a toy line by {{Toys/Playmobil}}. It is similar to Toys/LEGOMinifigures, as the series consist of several blind-bagged assorted characters. The key difference between the two companies' approaches is tha each series in the "Fi?ures" line has two subseries, one of 12 male characters, and one of 12 female characters. This gives each series more characters while making it easier to search for a specific character.

Several of the characters are made to tie in to current themes, so the evolving aesthetic (compare the fairy in Series 1 to the fairies in series after the new theme), so this can happen at any point in the theme.

!! Tropes in the the Fi?ures theme include:
* CaptainErsatz: The "Fi?ures" line has featured several, of [[Series/{{Glee}} Sue Sylvester]], [[Film/TombRaider Lara Croft]], Film/AeonFlux, Music/LadyGaga, [[Disney/SleepingBeauty Malelficent]], [[Disney/{{Frozen}} Queen Elsa]], and ComicBook/{{Catwoman}}.
* EvilCounterpart: Pops up in the Fi?ures theme a few times in the same series (like Series 2's Space Hero and Alien Villain, Series 6's Magic Queen and Evil Sorceress, or Series 8's Wizard and Witch) or across a few (like Series 3's Robot and Series 5's Alien Android.)
* EvilSorcerer: The shadowed eyes of the Green Wizard seem to imply this. Since it's a tie-in to the [[EvilVersusEvil Dragons theme]], it seems to support this.
* EverythingsBetterWithPrincesses: Every girls' series has featured a princess or fancy lady in a big dress.
* FollowTheLeader: Playmobil's responce to the LEGO Minifigures theme. Several of the characters are similar, such as the black-eyed boxer, and blue ice skater.
* LEGOBodyParts: Unique for Playmobil. Figures in sets cannot be taken apart, but with altered head and "internal skeleton" pieces, these figures can be disassembled and swap parts with each other.
* MadScientist: In Series 4, complete with lab coat, crazy eyes, and spiky hair.
* NoNameGiven: Another difference from LEGO's line. Some of the concepts and titles are intuitive, like the Grim Reaper, and Witch, some are so strange that it's difficult to tell what their core concept is even supposed to be.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: The packaging for the girls' and boys' series (with the exception of Series 2's green and yellow, respectively, and Series 3 boys' black) has used pink and blue, with the radial designs changing color.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Zorro and the Executioner.
* WickedWitch: In Series 1 and Series 8.
* WizardClassic: In Series 8.
