Playmobil will make the sets dedicated to Scooby-Doo films

To cut it short - do they all have figure heads?

 i can't clarify what a figure head is, so I don't know what to say; but, I'll look at all the heads & take pics if needed. I have 9 of them.

[JLMatterer]

OK. I understand the difference now. The diver necks don't have the grooves cut out that the figure necks do. The diver heads are VERY hard for me to get off the figure just by pulling.

[JLMatterer]

Yes, please tell us the state of their necks! 

From what I gather, they all have regular, hard-to-disassemble necks. Play Planet at Klicky-Welt (login required) complained that his diver cannot be taken apart after assembly, and if you look at item 324160940359 under the finished listings at a respectable online auction house, you'll actually see a regular neck. I haven't yet seen the diver's head with a smooth figures-neck.

Yes, they are regular necks. Thanks for pointing that out to me; I learned something today. They are not impossible to disassemble, at least not every one. There are several that I can't take apart, and it's REALLY difficult to get off the ones that I can. They are also more difficult to put on than the other heads.

They're easy to find in the bag so I stopped buying them after getting 9.

Thank you, JLM, for services to klicky knowledge! Hope your hands recover soon from all that wrenching of heads!

Thank you, JLMatterer, for clarifying this. So now it is official; Geobra are willingly selling a toy that cannot be played with in the way that it is supposed to function. A true blemish to an otherwise fine product (70288).

Here the person says it IS a figure head. I asked him to confirm and he did.

To clarify: I didn't see it, just reporting what I was told.

Thanks. Point taken but I'm nevertheless sceptical until proof is forthcoming: normal heads have been seen in different countries and from different stores/batches; figures-style heads have once been reported (by your contact) but never been shown in a picture.

I'm curious to learn what you will discover in your bag(s), Tahra. Where will you be getting yours from?

Best wishes

Someone else asked what a figure head is... I have no idea if the guy that confirmed it actually knows... I'm almost ashamed to ask AGAIN.

This sort of head wouldn't be marked, since the hair gets in the way of that triangle mark, right? Of course, this is no excuse.

[JLMatterer]

We'll, I really don't know what a figure head is; I just made a superficial look & saw the differences on the neck. What else am I missing?

[tahra]

Mine are normal heads too.  And the guy who posted a pic, same.

Asked the other who confirmed to post a pic as well, but my guess is he doesn't know what I mean.
