I still think this Playmobil mask doesn´t make much sense. As there are large gaps in the front, the only protection it offers will depend on the kind of filter one puts in it. Imho a nose-mouth-mask in tight-woven cloth with a filter inside will provide better protection (for the wearer not to spread possibly contaminated droplets, and perhaps not to inhale such droplets from others).

Resistance is futile, you will be boarded!

It's worth noting the product page reads as such: «The mask does not provide self-protection for the wearer and does not comply with the regulations as a medical device or the occupational health and safety regulations for personal protective equipment.»

Speaking as a nurse for 46 years, and the last 20 in surgery, I totally understand the function of a mask for respiratory isolation reasons, and you are all correct that this mask hardly seems functional.  However as a Playmobil aficionado, I am still hoping to purchase one.  Playmobil did a superb job on their Covid19 info videos. 

Hope we see them soon in the US.

I would think it'd be cheaper and more effective to make a Playmo-themed fabric mask, but at least they tried?  ???

Hope we see them soon in the US.

From what I've been seeing, international shipping is hitting some rough seas, with prices skyrocketting and shipping times stretched way out. I think it will be a while before any make it over here in numbers, if they make it at all (PM probably not interested in trying them in the fickle US market).
